Red Faced Blues Part 2


Didn't write much about Tico game the other day.

Sure, it was disappointing to let Tico escape the jaws of defeat so late in the game but it was not important enough to dwell on. Even Rafa had trained his sight on the Battle of the Bridge.
The qualification from CL is almost sure with 2 home games coming up. A draw at the Calderon is good enough considering a flurry of substitutions made and a negative tactics employed by Senor Goatee. Downside was the inability to convert chances that were created.
Suffice to mention that we did miss Torres and fringe players will remain as that. They're not good enough.

Back to Chelsea game. This top of the table clash is the one that matters.

Last season we met Chelsea 5 times. 2 in BPL, 2 in CL and the odd one in Carling Cup.
Not a single win. Zilch, zero. Close but not close enough.

How about this Sunday's game?

Man for man, Chelsea is better. They have a better squad. Their fringe players showed up when needed unlike many in our camp. They have not lost at the Bridge in all competition for more than 4 years. Well, records are meant to be broken. Every dog has its day, so they say.

Statistics will suggest that Liverpool will start as an underdog. Think that will suit us just fine.
Rafa will play not to lose I'm sure. Torres will again be missed up front so it'll be K & K to the fore with Kuyt on the right.

Upset the form book then Liverpool will be regarded as genuine title contenders.
Will it be a Red faced Blues or is it Red turned Blue after Sunday? Hope it's the former for heaven sake.

So Mr. Gerrard and Co, prove them wrong please. I want to believe.
