Chelsea 2 Liverpool 0

It was a defeat that didn't hit me very hard. For some reason, I was prepard for that scoreline. I had a hunch that we would lose. Don't ask me why. I can't explain it here. I told my usual gang at Cavern before kickoff that we would most likely not win the game. It was not the most popular statement around but I had to say it.

That is the reason why Gerrad and Torres seemed "off-form" throughout the game. How can their form dip so drastically in a matter of days?? Uncharacteristically?? A term often used to explain the unexplainable in football. I shall not dwell further here...

In any case, looking purely at the game itself, we were not significantly poorer than Chelsea. In fact, I felt we played well and was equally as creative and imposing on the pitch throughout the first half. A single Mascherano mistake in the second half cost us the first goal. Benayoun's introduction did inject a different dimension into the game but it was not meant to be. The second goal was not unexpected especially when we were pushing so far up field in search of the equalising goal. Lucas did play well though......surprisingly.

On the whole, I dun think its the end of the world after 3 defeats. Manchester, Chelsea, Man City and Arsenal are all still capable of dropping points. Chelsea may look solid now but they are due to lose a few key players to the African Nations Cup soon. That would be significant.

Anyway, I expect a huge peformance from the Reds in our next game. Trust me....
