I'm not bitter, truly, but there are a few Chelsea players that disgust me with their behaviour and if that means that we won't have to hear Ashley Cole's constant 'effing every two seconds in the next match then I'm pleased.

I don't think anyone is making out Drogba is the leagues only diver. Every side has more than a few players who like to "go down easily" as they say.
However, I think Drogba truly is in a class of his own when it comes to sheer volume of diving and feigning injury. Even the fake Ronaldo is someway behind him.
The moment he rolled over twice to get back onto the pitch (after he had fallen well over the sideline) to stop the game was really incredibly embarrassing. You could almost understand it if he was a **** player who had nothing else in his locker, but he doesn't even have that excuse to fall back on.

Unbelievable stuff tonight, sick to death of playing Liverpool in the CL every year I was expecting the usual dull fodder in both legs but tonight was the game of the season and the 1st leg was a cracker aswell. See you boys next year in the QF's or Semi's eh?
I think the only dissapointment tonight was the pen, could it have been any softer and wheres the consistency? There should be about 10 pens every game if you're gonna give those. Awful.
What has happened to Petr Cech though? He's a great keeper but his nervous mentality and flapping at every ball made the entire team edgy, he just doesn't seem to be able to deal with these big games.

It would take someone pretty amazing not to come out of that a changed man.

Anyway, it was an excellent game to watch. I thought after the horrible first half Chelsea had thrown it away, but they managed to redeem themselves.
Well done to Liverpool, but I don't think they had much say in the result in all honesty. I'm sure some will disagreee here but I think Chelsea were basically playing against themselves - in the first half, they looked complacent and uncaring which gave Liverpool a clear advantage, but in the second they finally woke up and were the better team.

I agree about Cech though - he looked very shaky the entire game. Hopefully it will be more of the same on Saturday

Congratulations Chelsea FC.
On the ropes and in real trouble for the few minutes either side of the half-time whistle but as soon as Reina made the balls up (great work by Drogba to get on it though) - they totally settled. Great game - good spirit too (apart from Drog's "injury" at the end) and a game that all except the two keepers can be proud of.

Originally posted by Asylum View PostHardly insanse, the fact is you see this kind of thing week in week out and nothing is given, so when one is its frustrating as theres never any consistency..
It was inside the box.
Therefore it was a penalty.
The fact that referee's in the ENGLISH leagues ignore it doesn't make it okay for the others to do so as well.
