WOOHOO!!! YESSAH! Finally after so long, 2 years maybe, Liverpool have triumph over Chel$ki 2-0 under Rafa Benitez.
Yeah most of you will say,
"Chelsea have no central defender, and so many injuries and suspensions, obviously lose right".
Then if they had won, which they hadn't, these Chel$ki fans would be like,
"See Chelsea so zhai, so many injuries and suspension, no central defender, they still can win, joke sia Liverpool".
So now Liverpool has done Manchester United another favour and they can extend their gap at the top. Watching the pre-match talk on Ch 23. I loved this statement the host made.
"Chelsea, the richest club in the world, does not have a fit central defender".Would you hear that from Barcelona? Real Madrid? Manchester United? Arsenal? Which top team has only 3 proper central defenders? Chelsea has... Carvalho, Boulahrouz and Terry. Barcelona, on the other hand, has Puyol, Oleguer, Marquez and Thuram. Real Madrid, again, has Ramos, Helguera, Pavon, Meija. Manchester United has... Vidic, Ferdinand, O'Shea, Silvestre, Brown. And Arsenal, even they have four central defenders, in Djourou, Toure, Senderos and Gallas.
So much money in the world... So little central defenders.
Hmm... Even so who keeps reiterating that Liverpool won just because they had a
first-team injury-less squad, while Chelsea has a
suspension and injury filled squad.
But the thing is... Chelsea conceded goals... Yes... With a severely weakened defence. But face it... The other thing was... They couldn't score! Did they have Ballack, Lampard or even Drogba out injured? No! Liverpool and Chelsea's squad were,
25. Jose Reina (GK) ------- 1. Petr Cech (GK)
3. Steve Finnan ----------- 14. Geremi
23. Jamie Carragher ------- 20. Paulo Ferreira
5. Daniel Agger ----------- 5. Michael Essien
12. Fabio Aurelio --------- 3. Ashley Cole
16. Jermaine Pennant ----- 13. Michael Ballack
14. Xabi Alonso ----------- 8. Frank Lampard (C)
8. Steven Gerrard (C) ----- 12. John Obi Mikel
6. John Arne Riise -------- 21. Salomon Kalou
15. Peter Crouch ---------- 15. Didier Drogba
18. Dirk Kuyt ------------- 16. Arjen Robben
Just look at the two squads. Chelsea have a great attack, with very good attacking-minded players that have great technique. But what happened? Clean sheet for Liverpool. This squad Liverpool have only costs around £44 million, counting only the players Rafa Benitez bought. Chelsea's, on the other hand, costs about more than £100 million. And this amount is only the players in
this squad, what about the others?
Chelsea can only get results when they are goals down or drawing against lower opposition. Liverpool can get back sometimes though, remember AC Milan 2005? Most of those Chelsea fans would be like
"big deal lah". Chelsea have no history at all. Even Nottingham Forests, who play in the lower leagues, have 2 European Champions Trophy. Chelsea? They have none.
Love to have long posts
suaning Chelsea whenever Liverpool win them. So if you are probably sleeping reading this.
Erm... Just to note, I don't really care, though.
Bye~!
