Liverpool 0 - 2 Chelsea

A trip to Anfield is never easy and this one was made that much harder by the thought that victory today would put us one step closer a momentous premier league title and keep us on course for a historic double. Carlo tinkered only as needed with JT returning to the heart of the defence and Bran moving to his more familiar right back role.

The nail biting in game teweets went like this

  • The TV's on Sky, the volume is up and the bum is squeaking. Come on U Blues !!
  • Its a bright opening 15mins but Drogba spends too much of it off getting treatment. Kalou is doing his usual tripping & tumbling routine
  • The Blues look very tense. Best chance goes to Aquilani as Maxi sets him free in the box on 28mins but he bottles it and Bran covers
  • Disaster for Liverpool as Gerrard back passes to the Drog who rounds Reina to make it 0-1on 33mins completely against the run of play
  • Lamps runs in unchallenged on 36mins but drives just wide & then does the same 2mins later to release Nic but his effort is blocked.
  • Babel replaces Maxi & there are cards for Malouda & Ballack. Wiley ignores a big pen shout on 45mins as Lucas brings down Kalou. Still 0-1
  • No changes at 1/2 time. Kalou skips into the box on 50mins out foxing Mascherano but his goal line cross misses out everyone
  • Malouda flicks a ball out to Nic on 53mins and this time his cross is slid home by Lamps. Its 2-0 and the travelling Blues start to sing !!
  • Alex puts in a great last ditch challenge on Babel on 59min. At 0-2 we still don't look comfortable. Both Nic & Malouda test Reina on 66mins
  • JT gives away a handball on 73mins but it comes to nowt. Into the last 10mins & a laboured counter attack sees Reina save from Nic & Kalou
  • 5mins to go & its ole passing that precedes Zhirkov replacing Kalou. Cech makes his 1st save in stoppage time (says it all) & it ends 0-2. Over to u Fergie
Thoughts turn now to the Stadium of light for the visit of Man U to Sunderland. The need a win as a draw would leave only mathematics of overhauling a 10 goal difference

Come on U Blues !!!
