Costa going down easily...
Courtois looks like he slide over the line and out of the box....

by lfc91 Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:21 pm

Think the official term for it is cheating fernando.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:23 pm

What a save that is

by Fernando Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:37 pm

£1 Mourinho covers up being dominated by complaining of the campaign against them again and Costa should of had a pen...

FT 1-1

by Mad for Chelsea Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:38 pm

meh. Liverpool were very good, Chelsea pretty ordinary. Mikel had a nightmare second half, really missed Fabregas's influence in midfield, didn't have enough influence up front. Ivanovic had a rare poor match. Sterling excellent, Coutinho needs to stop shooting on sight.

Will need to be better next leg to go through...

by lfc91 Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:39 pm

Should have been a win for Liverpool but for another exceptional keeper denying us. Can't complain about the performance though we were the better team pretty much start to finish. Just wish we could play like that more often!

by Mad for Chelsea Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:41 pm

re the Costa incident, he's quite clearly clipped by Sakho, should have been a free-kick and yellow card IMO. Costa was also elbowed in the face by Skrtel just before Liverpool equalised. But to be fair, Chelsea got away with a couple of 50-50's too (the penalty shout first half, Courtois maybe handling outside his area), so probably evened out.

Thought the ref was a bit poor TBH, but probably didn't influence the result, so no complaints.

by lfc91 Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:42 pm

If Costa falls on contact he gets the free kick, no idea why he didn't. Or continue and get a shot away. Either option far better than what he actually did!

Every season including last season when he got in team of the year?

Has has his moments this season like every player but he still a very good defender.

by JDizzle Wed Jan 21, 2015 1:00 am

Cahill's great when asked to defend deep, but he struggles when asked to come out of that game and doesn't have Terry's nous/experience to get himself out of trouble. Think Zouma will get some more game time, has looked promising so far.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed Jan 21, 2015 1:57 am

I'm pretty sure Cahill would walk into every team in the league.

Only donkey around here is Ent. Indeed, he got into the team of the year, been immense with Chelsea & a vital part of Chelsea's supreme defence, especially last year & easily England's best defender. If he's a donkey, what are Smalling, Jones & Evans.

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 8:15 pm

Chelsea: Courtois, Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Luis, Matic, Fabregas, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Costa. Subs: Cech, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Ake, Ramires, Remy, Drogba.

Liverpool: Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Sakho, Lucas, Henderson, Moreno, Markovic, Gerrard, Coutinho, Sterling. Subs: Ward, Johnson, Lovren, Lambert, Lallana, Allen, Balotelli.

by JDizzle Tue Jan 27, 2015 8:18 pm

Cahill dropped after Saturday. Interesting.

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 8:50 pm

I think it's more to protect Terry vs Sterling's pace.

by JDizzle Tue Jan 27, 2015 8:51 pm

More to protect Cahill vs Sterling's pace, looking at last weeks game.

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 8:58 pm

Either is a good enough excuse for Maureen to use really.

Costa with some stamping on Can, Easily avoidable. Followed by some diving...

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:02 pm

And there is why he got picked after fluffing the header.

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:08 pm

Costa diving again......

by JDizzle Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:10 pm

Stupid challenge from Skrtel. No doubt Costa goes down easily, but that's a penalty. Skrtel gets nowhere near the ball!

by **hampo17** Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:11 pm

Evens up the kick on Can he got away with earlier.

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:11 pm

He was going down before Srktel touched him.

Great save from Courtois there.

by JDizzle Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:12 pm

Which evened up the handball penalty Chelsea should have had. Whistle

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:13 pm

If that was a penalty then Costa handballed it last game was a pen Laugh

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:15 pm

Courtois keeping Chelsea in the game again...

by JDizzle Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:17 pm

Liverpool should be doing better with both those chances. Decent saves from Courtois, but Liverpool should be 1 up.

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:19 pm

Moreno surprisingly strong just shoved Ivanovic over like he was a toddler...

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:32 pm

HT Chelski 0-0 Scousers

by **hampo17** Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:59 pm

Costa is a horrible player, dirty as they come.

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:01 pm

maybe he wants the day off vs Citeh

by NickisBHAFC Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:04 pm

What a save!

by NickisBHAFC Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:08 pm

What a tackle!

Simon Mignolet is loving it!

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:09 pm

henderson verylucky

by JDizzle Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:10 pm

Henderson should be off.

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:12 pm

So should Costa tbf twice lol so swings and roundabouts

Super Mario is on for Markovic...

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:16 pm

Anyone else really want a Mario vs Costa punch up?

by JDizzle Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:16 pm

That second one was never a stamp!

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:16 pm

Yeah and the pope isn't a catholic...

Terry going through the back of Sterling.

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:27 pm

You can tell this will be settled in the 89th min Laugh

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:48 pm

Chelsea 1-0 - Ivanovic

Doesn't change much Liverpool have to score anyway.

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:51 pm

gotta be scoring that Henderson absolute shocker.

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:53 pm

Costa getting in a scrap with Gerrard

Gerrard with the nut...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:54 pm

I love Costa so much

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:55 pm

I suspect you won't be seeing him for 3 weeks after this...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:55 pm

He's literally the perfect forward for Chelsea and mourinho.

by JDizzle Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:55 pm

It's good that Niall Quinn has drawn the line there. That was too much. Cheers Niall.

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 11:08 pm

Well this has 2-0 written all over it...

by **hampo17** Tue Jan 27, 2015 11:18 pm

Don't think either sets of fans can have any complaints about that game, over the two ties Liverpools finishing has cost them dear.

by Fernando Tue Jan 27, 2015 11:56 pm

I don't get why Redknapp was having a go at Super Mario when it was Henderson's fault. I suspect he's not allowed to be negative about the future captain..
