If their strikers stay healthy they will be the team to beat in the Premiership and perhaps in Europe given Benitez's tactics. But it won't be beautiful football. It's defense first with Rafa and no room to manouver for opponents. I'll be watching the tables to track Liverpool's superiority this year but I won't be watching many more matches...Johnny Centrebackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17868723977013740006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-52727213612747358042007-08-20T04:11:00.000-04:002007-08-20T04:11:00.000-04:00Losing two points at home when three were on the '...Losing two points at home when three were on the 'table' is all I care about.<BR/><BR/>I am not saying the 'ref's a cheat' just yet but I am damn sure to be looking at ref's this season on their decision making & how it effects the outcome of the title in May.<BR/><BR/>Sure ref's are human & will make mistakes but if thats the case then surely the have to be treated like players who make mistakes when playing. If I made amistake of judgement at work on the scale of Mr Styles I would be in the office having to defend myself against at least a verbal warning!<BR/><BR/>All humans no matter who they are or what they do favor certain things over others but when making fair decisions some let this favoritism colour their decision making.<BR/><BR/>If Rob Styles doesn't answer to anyone with regard to two yellows for Essien, the penalty decision or the handling of the game & players in general I can only concur that the powers that be are biased in favor of Chelsea.<BR/><BR/>What annoyes me the most is this morning we should all be talking about the great goal by Torres as the 'winner' of this game, instead we are talking about a lazy eyed ref.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-29535609116420761022007-08-19T20:39:00.000-04:002007-08-19T20:39:00.000-04:00On first watch, I didn't catch that Malouda was so...On first watch, I didn't catch that Malouda was so at fault, but on later viewing, it's obvious he's been taking lessons from Robben. It was disgusting; he threw himself into Finnan then did that lovely little "oh my god i've been shot" roll. Just embarrassing.<BR/><BR/>The first couple of times I saw him, Malouda looked like he could be a tidy player for Chelsea. Now I'm just certain I detest him, and he fits in with that lot perfectly.natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043601945557998732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-12617983326458927802007-08-19T16:01:00.000-04:002007-08-19T16:01:00.000-04:00While it is still a point gained against some of o...While it is still a point gained against some of our biggest competition, these are the moments we could well end up looking back on at season's end with either a smile or a pained frown.<BR/><BR/>We were absolutely jobbed with that penalty, and Malouda should now be our prime supervillain until the next character comes along. Awful stuff.<BR/><BR/>We had a chance to assert ourselves as a different team this early in the season, and this would have definitely been a statement to the rest of the league that we're now confident and capable against the big 4.<BR/><BR/>And we were roundly robbed of that, and this result will irritate me for months to come. Hopefully come May, it will be irrelevant, but right now, I'm sick to my stomach.Jim Hendryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15444416343340712432noreply@blogger.com
