Ok my take on the game last night.
Liverpool - Too many misplaced passes or poor control. Garcia in particular. The ball up to Crouch is just what Chelski would want to play against. For that style to work you have to have players running off him and him have the ability to feed those players in. The other option is to get the ball wide and deliver crosses into the box. That wasn't going to happen witht he wide players Liverpool had. Gerrard couldn't get into the game in the middle due to Chelski not allowing him to. He made some good bursts forward but there was no pass to pick him out. When he did get a chance to pick the ball up and drive forward his only option was a shot from distance. He really misses a striker who plays off the last man so he can slot him in.
Chelski - Boring to watch as they are so rigid in their formation. There was very little movement from any of the Chelski players. The wide men stick to the touchline in an effort to stretch the midfield but Liverpool didn’t allow the centre midfield players any time to get the ball out there. The only time it did was from a Liverpool mistake. Makelele just sits in front of the back four never going ahead of Lampard. The two full backs just defend. They never get forward to support the wingers or even make a run beyond them. They showed a real lack of ambition last night.
I wont comment on Drogba other than to say I hate the cheating, moan, diving kunt!! He is all that is wrong with modern football.
The one offside in the game showed how deep both teams defended and the lack of ambition to get behind the other team.
Liverpool should have had 2 certain penalties. Drogba clearly took Hypia down with a wild kick. The Gallas hand ball was arm to ball as you clearly see him move his arm towards the ball straightening it as he does. Even if he didn’t then his arm should not have been up there holding the shirt of the other player anyway.

So, let me get this straight, a team who has scored more goals in the Premiership and conceded the least, and won the premiership last season and broke all records is boring???? long may it continue

If he had plenty of chances, why were Chelsea boring?

I think he meant Andy Gray had plenty of chances to criticise Drogba.
What's your take on the game pauld37?
Ideally we should be winning our home games, but we should both still qualify easily.

Chelsea did what any other football club would have done int he champions league, they followed the rule that if you win your home games and can get draws away from home you'll go through to the next stage. Chelsea went to the Europeans champions home ground and got a point. Job done. Does it matter how it was done? Its not always about entertainment.

LOL at some of these posts saying Chelsea should attack a bit more what do you expect from them, Chelsea have experienced Liverpools style of football (10men behind the ball) in Europe and so countered against it. Chelsea took the advantage from that game.
Calling for chelsea to attack more is silly, so I take it Robben, Duff, Drogba/Crespo and Lampard are all defensive players then are they?
Chelsea have taken a dull premiership (hardly exciting the last few years has it been?) and grabbed it by the scruff of the neck beating teams comfortably with many goals coming from midfield. Midfielders dont grab as many goals as the strikers do unless your a very strong attacking team. Simple really

1) Chavski have spent £300mil odd on players.
2) the kunt, **** end, peasant, grease bucket pr1ck of a coach was saying how much his team play attacking football
He had the audacity to critisize Anderlecht for being defensive when they were at scumford bridge Same for spurs (bus in front of goal quote
)3) he continually babbles on about the Garcia goal and how they never lost, or lost 0-0 can't remember which, but forgets how the Paul Scholes perfectly good goal, was dissalowed in Porto's semi against Utd, allowing them to lift the trophy. Or the fact that the ref after the game said if it hadn't been a goal it would have been a red card for Cech and a pen.
The pr1ck has no shred of dignity or ounce of respect for other teams, what he doesn't undertsand is that these pathetic comments only enhance a teams willingness to ram those words up his ar*e.

But Chelsea have spent £300million on a squad of players not on the starting 11
I suppose Liverpool are a superb team to watch great attacking free flowing football. the most mind numbing football game was played a week earlier who was in that match... LIVERPOOL v Man Utd.
So because you have a hatred for Murhino you automatically dismiss Chelsea as a boring footballing side? I suggest you watch football more often then because I see alot more boring football than what Chelsea produce.

You are right that there is more boring football around then what the Chavs produce week in week out, but NONE of them have had the budget he has had. Look at the big clubs, Barca, Real, AC etc. They never resort to Anti-Football week in week out. Utd and Arsenal played amazing football when they won titles. Fair enough you want your team to win, but don't get the ars* when they are called boring cause all things considered you are the worst champions there's ever been.

LOL.. shows how blinkered you are.... "your manager" "your team" "your the worse champions" ???? I dont support Chelsea, I dont support a Premiership club so my view is completely unbiased as opposed to all the other posts in this thread..... Doesnt mean I dont watch it and pay attention to the on goings of the overall dull premiersh!te
Not exactly spent that much of a fortune though has he, alot of the money was spent by Ranieri
Juan Sebastian Veron - £15m from Man Utd
Joe Cole - £6.6m from West Ham
Damien Duff - £17m from Blackburn
Geremi - £7m from Real Madrid
Wayne Bridge - £7m from Southampton
Glenn Johnson - £6m from Chelsea
None of these are Murinho players as such.... Half of the team was previous to Joses reign....
lol.. so what, rambling at what Chelsea spend, what do you care if theyve spent £20+million on Drogba, we all know they got ripped off leave them too it. its not like theyve been buying a Real Madrid style team is it. hes building a footballing team that'll work well together. theres nothing wrong with that. Didnt see anyone moaning at the ridiculous figures Man Utd have played for players in the past buying the market out... Just like Rooney last year.
