One mistake, changes the game.

Yeap, losing 2-0 to Chelsea has always and never been easy. Looking back at the game, both teams evened out. I felt a mistake is needed to be made before a goal came about.

Unfortunately, that mistake fell to Mascherano. He dabbled on the ball. Chelsea players got onto it and subsequently scored with a quick shot by Anelka.Assist by Drogba by the way.

Second goal came from Drogba powering and pushing away Carragher before teeing up Malouda to score the second.

Overall, honestly, out attack impentus was poor. Only did we bring Bennayoun on and Babel did things liven up. Bennayoun, I am sorry, but I just don’t know why he is regularly on the bench rather than starting most games. I feel sorry for this lad. This guy gets rotated so often while he still sticks to the likes of Lucas. Lucas, didn’t have a bad game. Played well, but offered nothing to get the ball up front. Again missing Alonso.

What particularly annoys me is Drogba. Great player. Someone I wished Liverpool had in the team. But this guy FAKES every tackle like it’s the end of the world. Big fella but pretends to be in pain so badly that it annoys everyone (except Chelsea fans!). How many times have u seen him fake it on the pitch last night?

Anyways, here are the player ratings from this match, courtesy of goal.com .

Defense Woes

I couldn’t watch the Liverpool-Atletico Madrid game but we were well beaten it seem by 2 goals from Aguero and Forlan. Lucas pulled one back from us in the second half. Some praises coming from all circle that Lucas has improved. I guess he is stepping up now that Alonso is gone and Aquilani will only be fit in 2 months time.

Our defense is now very week. Agger and Skrtel are both out with injuries – back and hamstring respectively. This is not good. Arbeloa is gone and our wonderful Finn, Hyypia is not with us anymore. What’s even worse is that Carragher injured himself too in the game today. ‘Twisted’ ankle it seems.
Anyways, Rafa seems to be interested in Hull City’s Mike Turner. 6 million bid was rejected. They want 12million. Is that worth it?

Not a good time to get injured.

Frak!
