Before This Success of thier's,Chelsea were just known as a average team which were well below par with the likes of Arsenal,Man Utd and Liverpool but that has all changed as Chelsea seemed to have hit the winning formula and an owner with a long term who has pumped in millions to build a team of it is today having already brought into Huge big success.They had a manager who made history in his first term at a club,A manager that revolutionize the club back in his days and also manager's that had success with them and are now struggling...Have a clue of any of those managers?...Haha,Tons of interesting times have happen at the Bridge.But today forget all interesting times,it was the Crunch match between the team that look unstoppable and the team which have gone through tough patches and steadily making a jump back up.Have Liverpool made enough improvement to beat the Blues?...That's a question we could only know after the game :)
The new owners of Liverpool face an uphill task after taking over the struggling club but with Roy Hogdson already taking them back to back wins in 13 games.Liverpool will at least have some confidence in themselves for this upcoming game.With a huge success of Trophies in their cabinets with 40 major trophies(That was inaacurate predication) The liverpool faithfuls surely is hard for the supporters to take.Like Arsenal,For the last 5 years has been gloomy with only that one and only cup taking back to 2005 while in that period alone chelsea have taken 8 major titles to count of.With the new owner in town to watch the match with his girlfriend?...I don't know who she is but anyway that presence would be a big boost for the team's mental preparation and he and the girl seemed to be into the song 'You'll never walk alone' before the game..Getting into the Liverpool spirit i see!
For the Line up,A late Injury mishap saw Glen Johnson out with a tweaked ankle while strong centreback Krigakos also out while Joe Cole also missed out the game with his former club through injury but was fit enough to make it for the game while that were all bad news.They had one good news though with Dirk Kuyt push for a place in the team was successful after being out for 3 weeks.Chelsea on the other hand welcomed back the strength of John Terry but Essien and Lampard together with Malouda will be missed and they also suffered a blow in the striking department with Drogba out with a virus but he was deemed fit enough for the bench.
Chelsea could stretch their lead with a 9th win in the league but mixed results at Anfield won't make it easy for them.It was the time for Torres and the co to shine in front of their Home crowd.I expected Chelsea to dominate at first but Liverpool came out of the start superbly and in the 11th minute,I though Torres touch was the conclusion of how he was going to play in the whole game..At first....But Liverpool got back Possession and a good long ball by Skrtel to Kuyt who made a delightful dipping ball into The path Of Torres who controlled it superbly and his finishing was even better kicking to the ground for a bounce over the Chelsea's Custodian.
I never though i would say this but LIVERPOOL STRIKE FIRST!...Wow now everyday we can say that.Torres was such a different man,Where has he been for Months?...Hmm I will go with an impostor posing as him...yeah i will go with that conclusion :)...He was finally getting into his scoring mood where in the pass even if he did get a chance he would have passed it.Before this game,He was linked to Chelsea but The manager ruled out any signings in January...Lucky Liverpool!.Liverpool are suddenly a different team,Do you have something to do with this Commoli?..Come on don't be shy ^^...Alright i'm getting out of the topic.Back to it!
That pumped up the Spaniard and later in the game he tested Cech again but the Spaniard’s 25-yard shot flashed wide. Then, Torres hoofed the ball clear inside his own half towards Cech and the Chelsea goalkeeper’s attempted volley to take the ball back into play was misjudged and the 28-year-old completely missed the ball. With Kuyt lurking, Cech eventually cleared at the second attempt.Chelsea were struggling without actually making any real test for The Defence of Liverpool although they had most of the Possession.Malouda was given Kelly a hard time..The 20 year old was making his first start but he didn't seem to be faced by the Long haired Frenchmen.
While Liverpool had the less of possession,They took it well with Lucas who has been impressive burst into the Chelsea half and chelsea again struggled with 4 players against thier 4 defenders but not for the Tackle of Yuri Zhirkov from Behind..If not for him it would have been the second goal and should that be a red card?...It was goal opportunity right?...yeah i know it wasn't a clear scoring chance but they would have if not for Yuri right? :P
Finally it was reaching the end of a struggling half for Chelsea and with only a goal down The staff could have come up with a plan to push for the equalizer but before anything.Cole who i think made a crazy decision by trying to run out of trouble which at the end ran into it and when he tripped over the ball(Yeah i know hilarious)..And With the Chelsea defence napping,Meireles ran at them and found Torres wide of the left hand side.Chelsea defence looked to have recovered but the Spaniard dropped his shoulder to shake off Inavonic and released a beautiful targeted wonder absolute cracker of a goal to give the keeper no chance and it almost made me tear with happiness because that goal was just so beautiful and it just reminded me of The old Torres(No i'm not a liverpool fan).And Chelsea were 2:0 down in the first half..The most surprising of results yet in the first half.Chelsea would be thinking what hit them on that day.
Desperation was creeping in and up came on Chelsea's goal machine Didier Drogba in place For Soloman Kalou(Wait,He was playing?) despite the player having a virus?..Wow they are really desperate!But Chelsea started to dominate once again and their attacks became more dangerous.But the defence were just to good and Chelsea were just not on target as Drogba had a free kick which is normally effective from that area but it was out to sum up that it wasn't Chelsea's day.Chelsea continued their assault and their closest chance finally came when Ashley Cole probably changed his football boots ran down the flank and whipped in a dangerous ball for Ramires who missed the header from 8 yards out.Anxiety starting to creep in Liverpool's side with Sammy Lee seen to have be looking anxiously at his watch.
What was awkward is that i gotta type this 'Chelsea haven't hit the target'..Weird?...yeah i know! But that soon chance when Yuri Zhirkov made a first shot that finally when on target with the keeper easily pushing it away as he already got the post guarded.Liverpool struggling?...I couldn't say that entirely as they had thier fair chances as well When a missed shot by Meireles somehow deflected into the path Of Kuyt but the keeper did exceptionally well to knock it away with his leg.
I forgot which minute it was when Malouda made a point blank shot but the keeper was superb to save it.But yeah,that was the best chance of the game for chelsea..Things got desperate later as Chelsea tried crosses all in vain with the defence stern and finally in the last 5 minutes chelsea though they finally broke the deadlock for the team when Anelka did cleverly to turn and unleashed a stunning shot which when under the keeper but contacted enough to divert it onto the crossbar and a last ditch tackle avoided Drogba from getting the end of it to end a very very...veryyyyyy good victory! Which leaves Man Utd 2 points behind Chelsea and Arsenal spoiling their chance to be on same points with Man Utd are third with 20 points together with 4th place Man City.Liverpool finally moved up to the top 10 Section with 9th place.
