Champs league Quarter final stage 1!

[SlavikSvensk]

barca did look good, but bayern is just not very good at the moment. chelsea's was, IMO, a more convincing victory.

[djfase]

I keep saying it boys i know, but dont write chelsea off for the league.

Essien is the key

Essien is the key

+1

the only positive from this is that it does look like the mancs are going out as well to a far lesser team than chelsea!

The quality of the team that knocks you out of any tournament matters only in the mind of a child.
At the end of the day, if you're out you're out. No ifs, buts or maybes.

For waht it's worth, I reckon the skause will turn it round 3-0 tonight.

A child? Well it was a back-up against numeric's gloating, should Liverpool go out. Of course, I am equally annoyed no matter who the team is that beats us.

The ifs or buts would be legitimate pending on the loss, ie dodgy penalties, faked inuries and many other injustices.

3-0? Possibly, but we will see. 3-0 or 3-1 is Ok for extra time. LFC can have the attitude of nothing to lose, which should give them a better mental edge than if it were closer in scoreline - sounds a little ironic.

i'm expecting chelsea to go through, liverpool may score but i can't see them keeping a clean sheet

who knows though, anything can happen

I can't stand drogba, the fat ugly cheat. how much longer will commentators and referees suffer such a pathetic example of a footballer in this modern game? It defies belief that they must watch match of the day week after week and read the papers etc, yet still allow idiots like him to fool them on the pitch with such ridiculous dives. It's idiots like him and the referees who allow it to happen that ruin the game and turn it into such a farce.

I can't believe we scored 4 away goals and still lost the tie. It's ridiculous. Reina really threw it away with that own goal and silly positioning for the free kick. We should have won that game and gone through. At 2-0 we looked certain to go on and do it. We had enough chances to win it easily enough - and without Gerrard, for those who call us a one man team etc!!!

I hope Barcelona stuff Chelsea in the next round and Arsenal do them in the final.

[C.O.Prodigy]

Liverpool played much better without Gerrard, top stuff, still not enough though.

yea you could see the ref started giving soft free kicks to chelsea after awarding us the pen.....they had like 4 free kicks in the same position within 10minutes..

gutted about the reina mistake, it really gave chelsea the boost they needed....but yea barca will dick em in the semis

the most annoying thing about reina is that the keeper has very little to do in a game and the one time he is asked to pay attention.... arghh. of course, he has saved us in other games, but you don't remember those in a 'defeat' albeit we didn't lose tonight.

we made a formidable account of ourselves in front of the world's footballing community tonight - bring on the league - Arsenal next, is a must win game to keep the pressure on man united. I would be much more worried if it were at Arsenal, though.

I can't believe how free scoring we are in the last 5 games or so. Incredible.

[SlavikSvensk]

chealsea and liverpool both looked dire at the back, but hey...it made for an entertaining match. agree that, based on this performance, barca should win that pairing...

[C.O.Prodigy]

Guus has much more experience then Pepe Guardiola, just for that I think that Chelsea again have the edge in that one.

[rhythmtech]

damn that was a goof match! pisser we lost :-(

[Numeric]

incredible game, first class entertainment, shocked at how many goals both teams conceded

amazing effort from liverpool, but chelsea were just too strong in the second half

[fatcollective]

wat great game that was, really thought liverpool were gonna hammer chelsea, but that little mistake from the keeper gave chelsea a bit of hope!
clever free kick from the first goal, fair play!

unlucky liverpool, only the prem to get your hands on now and you aint getting it because its staying at OLD TRAFFORD!! hahaha!!

[Numeric]

we made a formidable account of ourselves in front of the world's footballing community tonight -

the effort from your team was commendable, but a formidable account?

in a game liverpool needed to win, they have conceded four goals and managed to scrape a draw, what's so formidable about that?

[SlavikSvensk]

united and arsenal go through...

[Numeric]

gonna be two massive games against arsenal, united will have to be much better than they have been of late to progress

happy with the result last night, and our defensive performance was good, cristiano's goal worthy of winning any champions league tie

[Microdot]

Giggs, as ever, prepared to take one for the team.

[Spacehopper]

haha...anderson looks devastated in the background
