Chelsea dropped another two points this afternoon against Liverpool after throwing away a 1-0 advantage and numerous chances before the visitors hit back through Luis Suarez.
It's just two points now from three games and sees Chelsea drop down to third three points behind Manchester United and a point behind Manchester City.
It was such a frustrating game for me because we were 1-0 up and in control and had a number of chances to score and never took them. Juan Mata for once was as guilty as anyone as he blazed over the bar from 18 yards clean through when it seemed a better option to place a shot into the bottom corner.
With Oscar, Mata and Hazard playing together, Chelsea always look dangerous and Liverpool couldn't deal with their movement. When Oscar was replaced by Victor Moses this afternoon, we looked like we had lost our impetus going forward. When Torres was replaced by Danny Sturridge it looked even worse.
We were throwing crosses into the box with no one to challenge Carragher and Agger for the ball and it was easy for them to deal with. At least Torres was up there challenging and putting himself about. I didn't agree with the substitutions for once as it really did have an effect on our attacking style.
With Liverpool changing formation to chase a goal, we should have left Oscar on AND Torres to give Liverpool something to think about. Instead if anything, the changes played into their hands and Liverpool finished the game strongly.
Both goals were almost identical. Comical defending from corners were punished.
The injury to JT was a blow and we hope it's not as bad as it first looked.
So we come away from this one feeling frustrated because the longer the game went on with Chelsea not taking their chances, you could see Liverpool nicking something and they did.
This was a game where we created our own problems by not putting the game to bed, by losing our Captain through injury and by our manager making a mistake with the changes he made whereas, Brendan Rogers made the right ones!.

Call it a day now.
ReplyDeleteIf we are to win the league we can not afford to keep losing ground on the 2 manchester teams.
2 points from 9 is shocking at best.
we need to be able to hold on for the win when leading or turn games round like man u and man city by scoring last min goals.
like we have done in cup comp this season.
roll on January. please bring in a goalscorer.
Torres ran his socks off today but guess what ? No goals again. tells a story when our 4 defenders have scored more goals than our 4 attackers.
and let's be really honest, did anyone really think we would beat this poor Liverpool team today.
hey ho could be worst could support qpr!!!
I think torres could have scored the winner if he were to.continue playing, cos sturridge didnt make a.really great impact when he came.on. If torres continue to play like that looking dangerous all the time, he could bag a few goals in the next few games. And we should get a backup striker like llorente or roberto soldado
