Normally, youd think its all over after that last minute goal. Still wide open.
Think I might even watch the second leg.

Hes done much better with a worse squad.

I didn't watch the full game but just the last 5 mins in both halves and hence watched the 2 goals...

I was about to post after 90 mins that Liverpool have won the game and Chelsea are going to find it hard to go through to the final when Riise's superb effort for Chelsea( ) happened. I got up from watching the TV and turned to my computer when the commentator said something and I thought I heard the words 'Riise' and 'Goal'...
So I thought 'ok that damn Liverpool have scored a second are now through to Moscow' and turned to watch the replay of how he scored the goal...

In the replay, I saw Riise getting down as if to score a goal(What a good goal I thought ) and I thought what are Liverpool doing scoring this side but convinced myself that maybe they changed the camera angle for the replay... But then I thought I saw Reina was there and I was confused... Only then I realized that Riise scored an own goal... I laughed and laughed for a minute(Sorry Liverpool fans ). Man that was hilarious...

I mean what is he doing trying to head the ball that low over the bar... he could've cleared the ball using his right leg...

Now this is going to be very very tough for Liverpool at the Bridge... Chelsea have an excellent record at Stamford bridge and Liverpool have to score to even have a chance of progressing... But also I can see Chelsea scoring too, so it must be a very good game but also a very tough one for Liverpool... I can see Chelsea winning it to go through to the final...

Also my prediction of a 1-1 draw came true...

What makes you so sure? Liverpool havn't scored under Rafa at the Bridge. 8 games

I've got a funny feeling they will.

Records are there to be broken. Chelsea broke one last night by scoring - first time they've scored at Anfield in the Champions' League.

And the truth will out.

Perhaps the reason Torres dived is because he was getting elbows in the back of his head ALL GAME. Chelsea did a better hatchet job on him than United and that is saying something. Terry even kicked him while he was down.

Drogba on the other hand was the very model of sportsmanship as always.

There was some interesting footage of him going down the tunnel at half time actually.

Stupidest thing you have ever said.

To try and suggest we were lucky overall with decisions as well.....

Yeah you clearly DIDN'T see the game.

Chelsea 4-4 Villa

Chelsea 1-1 Everton

Chelsea 1-1 Wigan

HALF TIME in the tie.

We're still going to Moscow. Bluenose enjoy Tescos!

Yeah and Torres has been here less then a year. How was Ronaldo's first Season again ?

Reckon the boys in blue can win the UEFA Cup still?

Rangers not Everton obviously.

As Gerrard said, "Torres hasn't played at the Bridge."

...

And there was me thinking this season couldn't get much worse for Riise... Oh how wrong i was.

Stupid, stupid error. It was far to close to get it over the bar. Shoulda just kicked away from the goal. Shocking.

It's really disappointing, incredibly disappointing, because we certainly deserved a win in that match. If Torres didn't have a mare we could've won that by 2 or 3. He was [beep!] poor in that game. It was like he reverted back to his old ways, where he fluffs chances for fun. Personally, i thought it would be more fun sticking 'em in the net.

We played so well, but have nothing to show for it. The score was a disaster. I can't see us beating Chelsea. We certainly aren't going to beat them in normal time, so we have to just hope we can score, and then hold it for penalties.

It's unlikely though, but you never know. At least Benitez won't be criticised if we go out,. He did everything right.



Did anyone see the ratings in the papers? Well, The Sun... Unsurprisingly they were sh*t. Is it just me, or was Ballack better than Makelele? Drogba much better than Lampard? Carvalho better than Terry? And Alonso better than 7? no way was Torres only 1 worse. Torres was [beep!], how he managed to lose control of the ball when he was in behind the defence i don't know. If he warranted his rating of 6, then Alonso must've been on about 12- he was twice as good. No way was he better than his counterpart - Drogba, despite Dider lacking match fitness and being isolated.

If Torres plays like that in the second leg, we've got no hope.

That's the Torres I used to know.
However, Liverpool deserved the victory and Chelsea were just too lucky. Anyway I think Liverpool will get to the final!

As I say "Torres has scored two goals away from Anfield all season".

Funny you should say that because we pretty much hung Torres out to dry against a top back four time and time again.

If Benitez starts Crouch in the second leg up top with Torres WATCH the difference.

I predict now that Chelsea will struggle to deal with the aerial threat we impose on them IF Benitez starts Gerrard on the right and Torres and Crouch up top.

A major weakness overlooked in Chelsea's game is the aerial ability of their centrebacks! Carvalho is awesome on the deck but in the air he can be suspect. Despite Terry being very forceful in the air, he too has his moments and Crouch can get the better of both for some very important knockdowns!

That's more down to Benitez than Torres.

I do feel quite bad for Riise. He must be feeling like sh*t right now.

John Arne Riise's just been stopped by the police on the M6, he was caught heading the wrong way.

my dad text me that earlier...i forwarded it onto every Liverpool fan in my phone book
