Veni Vidi Blah…LFC 0 – 0 Chelsea

By: CSD | February 10th, 2008

We came, we saw, well at least we didn’t lose. I would post a video of the great match highlights, but there was not any to speak of. The 90 minute contest was full of chances that were not capitalized on. It was, however, worth watching.

Both sides came out with high pressure. Peter Crouch had a few headers that were worthy of the back of the net, but he could not seal the deal. Kuyt played well, but ended up too far on the flank too often and was forced to cross and look for Crouch who just wasn’t having a good day. I know Carragher didn’t like playing right back, but damn he was good at it in the Sunderland match and would have been an asset in this one.

It was good to see the Reds giving it their all, but you could definitely tell that the team had not played together enough. There were too many shots gone wide and too many passes to invisible players. With a few training sessions, we’ll crush Barnsley next week in the FA Cup and hopefully that’ll propel us to put some big numbers up against Inter Milan. As much as I liked watching team USA and England play, I think Rafa’s right. These international friendlies are fucking up our seasons and players.

One last thought and maybe Jack has some input on it as well, have you ever seen so many free kicks given for challenging keepers? Very strange officiating. Around the 70′ I was starting to wonder if the ball would be able to move for than a few yards without a whistle blowing.

  I can’t help but to think if we had some golden Spanish locks on the pitch instead of a blonde Dutch mullett, we would have put this one away. Chelsea never looked comfortable, and the game was ours for the taking. We just lacked that last bit of class to finish…anything. What’s the deal with Stevie lately? Seems like he’s been forgetting his shooting boots. He used to be deadly from 8-10 yards outside of the box, now he looks afraid to shoot from there. Oh well, I still wouldn’t trade him for anyone else.

  What a tie! Liverpool dominated the midfield, Lucas had a tidy game, Mascherano was a beast, again, Skrtel was impressive and Babel looked confident. I was surprised Rafa did not better utilize subs. Kewell, Pennant, and Benayoun could’ve some on for Babel, Kuyt, and Lucas to spread it and overmatch the defensive wingers.

  Chelsea was entirely disorganized, but Alex was MOTM.

  those weren’t whistles for challenging the goalkeeper, they were whistles for “thinking about scoring” .. except for Crouch .. he got whistles for “being tall in the box” ..
