Chelsea and Liverpool Ends in Predictable No Score Draw

Started by The Gaffer · 10 months ago

So I waited almost two weeks to finally watch a live Premier League match after a stay at a local hospital and which one did I having the privilege of watching? The twice annual tedious encounter between Chelsea and Liverpool, which usually ends up in a nil nil draw.
It’s a travest ... Continue reading »

    How can you ignore the fact that Liverpool created more chances and could/should have won.

    Because that seems to be the Liverpool fans' story after every game: could have, should have. Well you know what, you didn't!

    I've written about this before. Liverpool fans seem to be happy with huffing and huffing (time of possession, shots), but they can't blow the house down (scoring goals). The only thing that matters in soccer, and sports in general, is that number on the scoreboard, not any of the other stats. I don't want to hear about how they should have won the game because they dominated it. I want to see them actually win a game like that!

    Talk is cheap.

    On another note though Gaffer, I disagree with you completely about Babel and Gerrard. Babel had a pretty bad game today. He consistently showed no first touch and never showed that killer instinct. He has pace to burn but never used it or any moves to beat Belletti, Babel kept cutting it back inside and didn't do anything from there. Admittedly, Gerrard sprayed a few passes around early in the first half but he had a much better game than Babel. His passing got better as the game went on and orchestrated a couple of nice chances and was spreading the ball from his midfield position to both flanks by the middle of the match.

    Glad to have you back, Gaffer.

    I had this match on my DVR, your post spared me from watching it.

    I have to say that I only watched bits of the Liverpool-Chelsea clash but what I saw was on the dull side. I found the Bayern Munich - Werder Bremen game was more interesting to watch. The football on display was a bit better and at least the game had a couple of goals to talk about :)
