He's scored loads of goals against Chelsea since joining Liverpool. Why would he be scared of them, or any of the other big boys who he has also scored plenty against?Quote:

I'm not a bit convinced about Reira, he hasn't really kicked on after an impressive start to him Liverpool career.Quote:

Riera was disappointing yesterday had plenty of chances to take on the full back but kept cutting inside. Honestly feel Rafa prefers him in big games ahead of Yossi because he thinks he will help the full back more. Would have Yossi everyday over Riera. Decent squad player.
Torres was just getting frustrated because he was feeding on scraps. He does react like a big baby when things don't go his way though.
Dull game and Chelsea weren't anything special. 1 nil down & Benitez should have gone for it.
In fairness he did go for it. Brought on Yossi and Babbel. Poor final balls cost us. Was at the game myself and can't agree at all that he didn't got for it. Maybe it looked different from the couch. Torres can get frustrated but at least he doesn't dive around the pitch or stamp on fell pros calfs when he gets frustrated.Quote:

Yet the perception is that Drogba terrorises Liverpool.
From watching most of those matches I do think that Drogba gives Liverpool an seriously hard time of it. He was the difference yesterday without scoring. Torres is just top class.Quote:

No one really decided to win the game, a draw would have been a fair result IMO but Liverpool's finishing was dreadful and when Torres is off form Liverpool tend not to win, well that's the way i see it anyway.
Gerrard might as well not been on the pitch, can't remember him contributing anything to the game.
If Liverpool go trophyless again this season will Rafa get the chop ?
Gerrard didn't have a great game but to say he may as well have not been on the pitch is plain crazy. He has pulled us out of the mire so many times in games that he hasn't played well in.Quote:

If being the word. That sort of question will be anwsered in May not October 5th based on having lost one game more than the previous season.Quote:

Yeah i believe so. Sky love those sort of stats. Remember before the 1994 WC being told that Ireland hadn't beaten Italy in 7 games. The next day we beat them. Only saying!!!Quote:
