10 COMMENTS ON LIVERPOOL v CHELSEA

1. It was a very poor game which was predictable given the style of football played by both teams and the negative attitudes of both managers.
2. Liverpool shaded it and probably deserved to win by a goal. I don't buy the opinion expressed by Gerrard that Liverpool's performance was worthy of a 3-0 victory.
3. Gerrard needs to step up to the plate as he went missing (again) for most of the game.
4. Drogba demonstrated (again) what a knob he is. For a huge man it is embarrassing to see him go to ground so easily.
5. Torres may be a world class player but this does not mean that he is a world class finisher. At this level, in the big games, you have to stick those one-on-one chances.
6. John Terry's performance was typically cynical.
7. Joe Cole's form has dipped alarmingly in the last couple of weeks.
8. Riise was due a goal and took it well.
9. Petr Cech, perhaps understandably, is not as bravely commanding as he once was.
10. Benitez's post-match moan was unwarranted and Liverpool only have themselves to blame for the end result.
