Terrible mistake by a terrible footballer. Why a player whose astronomical wages are common knowledge is not comfortable swinging his weaker foot at a ball two foot off the deck, and chooses instead to try and somehow lift a header over his own crossbar....baffles me.
Such an important goal as well. 1-0 was a great result, and one i think we deserved as well. 1-1 changes the whole dynamic, we have nothing to protect at Stamford Bridge, and the last player to score there for us was Bruno Cheyrou!!
Thought Alonso was brilliant tonight, took responsibility for the pace of the game and his passing was fantastic. Mascherano was great as well, some tackle on Malouda to stop a goal! Skrtel did very well against Drogba, who got a hell of a lot more joy out of Carragher. Gerrard was terrible tonight, so lazy it was untrue, he seemed to just stand in an advanced midfield position, whilst Xabi, Masch, Torres & Kuyt ran themselves ragged. Still forced what looked a top save from Cech though, i thought that was in.
Chelsea were ok i thought, Lampard was their best player, always picking out a blue shirt with his passing. Ballack was poor, and Joe Cole never got a kick, whilst Malouda simply played like a player bereft of confidence or convicition, it seemed every decision he made was wrong. Drogba was loathsome tonight, i lost count of the amount of times he played dead, only to spring into action once the decision went his way, maybe it was cos he had a shocker.
Havent seen the Terry on Torres "incident", the Anny Road didnt seem happy about it...what happened?
