But I must point out that none of you blame the defense for our loss. Even at the every beginning of the match I felt that our defenders were too casual in the marking department and when Liverpool search deeper, there were a few panic blues in the box. Try watch the match again (it's painful, I know, I watch 3 x first half), you will understand where I'm coming from. Our defense started to settle only after 20 minutes in play. It was not a particular individual mistake, it is just disorganize marking. Great defense earns you a DRAW, Great offense "might" earns you a WIN, GREAT Defense and Offense guarantees a WIN with Cleansheet. It was poor performance overall for the entire team. Let's swallow this and move forward. This maybe the beginning of another new record credit only to LFS instead of living through our previous records from JM and AG. KTBFFH.... rise again!!!

I think two good considerations would be lukas podolski and our academy player miroslav stoch podolski has some decent height on him, is in fact 3cm shy of drogba, he is very quick, quite strong and isn't too bad with his feet, im not entirely convinced he can cut it on the wings as he only displayed that quality in the euro competition but he could fit in very well we have always been missing that flair player since robben left. robben was very injury prone but when we had him, we were virtually unstoppable. I have said many times we need that player with joe coles feet and swp's speed, they are quite rare but from what i understand, stoch has that ability, so maybe we should start giving him more of a chance i have been so upset over the past few days i couldn’t even write

Kaluo scored the goal, to draw against Man U . Anelka had two clear chances in that match and one of the chances he just had to touch the ball .. Maluda , I have no comments on him.. My feeling is every opposing team is happy that we start with Anelka .. @51 & 50 – You are correct Kaluo and Maluda were useless in the liverpool match , but one thing that you should note as pointed out by BC is Anelka has never scored a matching wining goal or the first goal.

But Kalou was too wasteful for you to let him off so easily, being completely careless at times with his dribbling... He was poor. Also, you must at least confess the complete invisibility of Malouda. It's not fair that you only criticize Anelka so harshly (I agree with you on that subject, by the way...) and address Malouda and Kalou so lightly. When is Franco Di Santo going to start a match?! He's been quite good, for a 19 year old!! I think it's proven that we need a winger and/or a striker in January. We only have Joey, Malouda, and Kalou. And Kalou is really a converted striker. I wish we hadn't sold SWP, I honestly do. He was never injured, very versatile, and I really think his type of speed is the sort of magnet that distorts the rigid, organized defense of the bus-parking teams. He creates chaos with his speed. We need that kind of player. Let's go for Jesus Navas. I can't wait till Essien's back! Great analysis, BC, as always.

I hope he draws lessons from these fixtures. Sometimes i feel he is spoilt, because he had had always good players. He knew that Liverpool is a very strong team, even JM tips Liverpool to win title this year. So LFS should have been more careful when he chose the tactics for this game. Liverpools are good at counter attacks and at surprising and long distance goals( there are many examples, CL final against AC Milan, that goal against us that never was, and their comeback from 2-0 down to win 2-4 earlier this season). Despite these facts, LFS chose to play a very open attacking football against such a dangerous solid defending and counterattacking team. In my opinion it was a careless play chelsea played, and we paid for it. But Scolari is an intelligent and clever manager, i hope he won´t repeat the same in upcoming fixtures. Looking forward to Hull now, i´d be happy with 2 goals and a win of ofcourse. Happy Diwali folks. Scolari lacks league football expierience. I hope he draws lessons from these fixtures.
