Fernando Torres Liverpool's number 9 :D

Chelsea offered absolutely nothing today, and my only concern was that we would not be able to find a breakthrough.

Excellent win though, and it puts us back on track after a winless January (except for the FA Cup).

hahahhahaha

Exactly what I want to say to you.

What, is that twice we have beat you this season ;)?

Hahahahahaha.

Nice how Liverpool fans come in here 5 mins after a win, but a loss don't see them around for jack ****. That was not a sending off.

You must have a good memory considering we have only lost 2 games out of our last 40 :laugh:.

I agree it wasn't a sending off though. Still, it makes up for when Lampard snapped Alonso's ankle a few years ago, and he wasn't sent off.

That's the definition of robbed if you ask me. Mike Riley needs to get ****ing shot. I enjoyed the Gerrard dive though HAHAHAHAH.

So no 1 has an HDTV across the pond?

Robbed??? Did you watch the game? You offered nothing, we were on top for all of the game and the red card did not change a thing. Riley had a poor game throughout though, Mascherano should never have been booked :rofl:

If you want a definition of robbed, how about you lot against Fulham.

Well played Liverpool - was, in my opinion, a gripping end to a game that was not the best. Saying that I didn't expect it to be fireworks as each team didn't want to lose so not a lot of chances were going to be taken.

Must say the ref had a crappy game blowing at anything and everything and that red card should never of been shown.

However, saying all that I am mighty glad to see the Pool win in the end :)

There again it was also a sad day if the news is to be believed and this is the end of Robbie Keane in the Pool shirt. I think he was a pawn in a management struggle between Rafa / Parry / the useless owners.

If he got a decent run of games I think Rafa and co would thnk again - however, I don't think that will happen.

Anyway - well done boys, you did Anfield proud once again.

Sure I watched the game... I'm surprised Riley didnt call the handballs ;)

Arguing with liverpool fans about games is pointless, most of you guys have ur heads so far up ur asses its ridiculous. To bad man u will still win the cup especially if liverfail keeps drawing :-)

You are a very bitter, you would fit right in as an Everton fan.

Maybe you should read some of the stuff you write back to yourself before you click the 'Add Reply' button, half the stuff you spout is embarrassing.

Still, no hard feelings an-all-that-lad ;)

Well done the Reds (Y)

This would've hurt the moral of Chelsea players big time.. Seeing the title slipping away and all and Juve will have a nice time playing them now too.. Just hoping though that Chelsea starts sliding further down the table... 'cmon Villa :p

We should start winning some games too.. These injuries are killing us.. hate to be in a position where we have to wait for others to drop points :| but hey whatever it takes to get back in top 4 ;)

lmao... I am not bitter. You guys won twice I accept that, and the season is still not over :-P

honestly lampard shouldn't have gotten a red, what whats his nuts did to benayoun in the corner warranted a red... but whatever, chelsea is garbage.

LIVERPOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLL!!!!

Keanos back!

Liverpool could have made a massive error here....always has a slow start to the season, and traditionally performs better after christmas. Also, Torres is not fully fit yet. If he gets a knock, is it season over? So glad Lennon didn't go in the opposite direction as well.

Is this perhaps also the action of a really cash-strapped club who just needed the money? Can see no other reason why a club challenging for the title would sell one of only three strikers at the club and not get a replacement.

COME ON YOU SPURS!

It doesn't look like we will be replacing him to be honest, and it could cost us a lot in the long run. Besides Torres, who is just returning to full fitness and will hopefully demonstate he is over his injury problems, we don't really have anyone who can come in and lead the line for us.

N'Gog is a promising youngster who is not a renowned goalscorer (I think he got 1 goal in 19 appearences for his French club). We also have Babel who just looks like he cannot be bothered at all, and I am quickly losing patience with the fella. Other than that we just have Nemeth (injured for six weeks anyway).

It doesn't look like we will be signing anyone, even though we have been linked to Saviola and Gudjohnson. Perhaps we could recall Voronin from Leverkusen?

I'm a bit sad Robbie Keane has left us after just five months, I've always liked the fella and it is shame he has not fitted in with the way we play. Something is definitely dodgy though with the transfer of Keane to us in the first place, I have a feeling Rafa did not particularly want him in his team in the first place, hence why he demanded full control of transfers in his new contract.

If you look at the way we played last season we had amazing success with Gerrard playing behind Torres, a partnership like that we have not seen since the days of Rush and Dalglish. It just seems strange how we would buy Keane for a vast amount of money, that could only disrupt that partnership. All in all though, we only lost ?3 million (and Keane's wages) on him, seeing as we paid ?15 million for him in the first place (we didn't pay the ?20.3 million because his add-on clauses were not activated), and sold him for ?15 million.

It is a sad situation as I do think Keane would only get better as the season went on. As you said Farsight, he is traditionally a slow starter in terms of goals. The sad thing is about Keane is that he has missed around 8 or 9 simple tap in's which would have doubled his goal tally for us, and perhaps he would still be at his boyhood club.

All in all I feel sorry for Keane and this transfer saga does not exactly reflect good on us, but then again the 'Liverpool way' was well and truly lost when Hicks and Gillett bought the club.

I never got to see the 'Pool - Chelsea game..

but looking at that thing Bosingwa did on Benayon now with disgust :|.. I don't know what to call it.. its not a tackle.. atleast not one you see on football grounds everyday.. its more of a kick-boxing move..

Its amazing how FA let him get away with this.. disgraceful really.

And I agree with Marty and Farsightxc2 abt Keane.. he's a slow starter.. Rafa made a mistake letting him go.. and an even bigger mistake letting him go without getting a replacement.. Keane will have a lot of desire now to prove Rafa wrong and show he's better than his recent form.. can be a good thing for Spurs as Defoe is out injured for atleast 10 weeks..
