Tomorrow sees Chelsea and Liverpool meet AGAIN for the 5th time I think this season. The bookies seem to have Chelsea as the favourites, but they would seen as in the league they've got a good run against us.

 

My main concern for Liverpool tomorrow is where is the firepower gonna come from. Hopefully next season Rafa will buy two decent strikers but for the time been we ain't got brilliant strikers, and with Fowler cup-tied it makes it even harder for Liverpool.

 

I think though they'll play Crouch and play Luis Garcia off him, and i'm gonna stick my neck on the line and go for a 1-0 to Liverpool.

 

On the Chelsea note; a guy on a liverpool forum found this article on a Chelsea site and it really does show how arrogant the fans are and how they dis-respect all other clubs. People who support teams like Man Utd, Arsenal or Spurs might see Chelsea's fans nickname for them in a poll as well: http://chelsea.rivals.net/default.asp?sid=...=2&stid=8409243 that is the site where the article is at.

 

All that is left to say is come on the reds for tomorrow.

Lets just hope Rafa's Red revolution can defeat Chelski tomorrow at the Theatre of Dreams (Manchester Cricket ground ;) ) & put Abramhovic billions; diving Drogba, etc in their place and give Jose Mourinho something else to whinge about! :cheer:

I really hope Rafa goes with 2 up front. The reason for this is that with Crouch just up front on his own we will be on threat to Chelsea at all.

 

Crouch by himself will be easily handled by Terry, and that either leaves Morientes or Cisse to go up front with Crouch. Cisse has good pace but his overall play is average. I'd prefer Rafa to play Morientes then at least he could link up with Crouch and they'd be a handful for Terry.

 

My Prediction For The Liverpool Team:

 

Reina

 

Finnan

Carragher

Hyypia

Riise

 

Gerrard

Sissoko

Alonso

Kewell / Garcia

 

Crouch

Morientes

I cannot believe no one has posted here on this glorious day.

 

Today, proved Rafa Benitez NOT Jose Mourinho is "The Special One". :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Mourinho definitely dropped a bollock today with his starting line-up. Only when he changed it did Chelsea look like winning, and Liverpool were holding on at the end. I'm glad they lost though, as I don't want one team winning everything in sight.

:party: :party: :party2: :party: :party:

 

Were going to Cardiff :cheer: . I'm so glad that we beat Chelsea :D . We outclassed them in the first half, and they got better in the second half because they went all out with three wingers and had two at the back and had John Terry up front and we had Cisse....... :cry: , but we still won and guess what..........Maureen decides to throw a wobbbly and still declares that Chelsea are the best. What a moron, and lets hope that either Liverpool, Man Utd or Arsenal can win the championship next year.

 

This is Maureen's comments on bbc:

 

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was understandably disappointed to have failed to win a double again and blamed slack finishing - and refereeing decisions by Graham Poll - for the defeat.

 

'In a semi-final you cannot miss chances like we did at crucial moments,' he told BBC Interactive.

 

'You cannot miss chances like the one for 1-0 and lose chances in the last minute for 2-2. That's the negative comment I have about my team.'

 

He continued: 'In the semi-final you cannot have every crucial decision against you. The free-kick for the first goal was a decision against us and the goal disallowed for (John) Terry is a decision against us.

 

'We cannot miss two crucial chances in two crucial moments against a very defensive team.

 

'But we showed in the last half hour why we are (Premiership) champions and will be champions again and why in the Premiership in two seasons we have 45 more points than Liverpool.'

 

I wouldn't mind seeing West Ham win it for a change, instead of the same old teams over and over again. That's why the lower leagues are more exciting - you can never truly predict which teams will go up or down.

 

 

COME ON GARY JOHNSON'S CIDER ARMY!!!!!!!!!

cant believe it. For a start the first free kick was bad defending (the wall) but it should have never been given in the first place. If you look later in the game the same challenges are made loads of times. Then Chelsea are pushing forward and concede the second.

 

Cant believe Chelsea didnt get the 2nd goal in the last few minutes. Was a great match and Mourinho got his tactics wrong in the first half but when hes proper team is on (as shown in the second half) they are near impossible to play against.

Mourinhio definitley has a point about the first goal. It was never a free kick but I'm still chuffed they lost. One league cup and two Championships since Abramovich came is hardly the domination anyone was expecting!

Great Garcia goal !!

 

I expected and wanted Liverpool to win. B)

This pleases me greatly. Another game added onto the Liverpool fixture list will obviously work in Man United's favour.

Liverpool v West Ham final then.

 

I predict 2-0 to Liverpool for the final.
