Chelsea v Liverpool : League Cup semi-final second leg, 27/1 @ 19:45

[SALTIRE]

Think this one will again be tight, and I'm going for another 1 - 1, then it will be anybody's game.

 

[Stevencc]

3-1 to Chelsea on the night - smooth sailing.

 

[smat]

Chelsea will win and there'll be an ABSURD refereeing decision at some point.

Looking forward to the Henderson-Costa match-up..

 

[BlueBee]

Cannot wait for this. Feels like I've been at work forever today.

We'll go 2-0 up and Liverpool will pull one back for a nervy ending....but we hold out.

Looking forward to the Henderson-Costa match-up..

Poor Jordan really hasn't got a clue what he's started....The worst thing you can do with Costa is make him angry....ask Seamus Coleman or Martin Skyrtle (sp?).

 

[Blitzballer]

I sense there will be a red card at some point. I'll go with a Chelsea win though 2-1

 

[Whitechapel]

Costa would fight dirty, biting and scratching...but Hendo wouldn't give up. IMO Hendo would batter Costa.

Anyway, onto the game. I reckon Liverpool will take this. 2-1. Coutinho & Skrtel with the goals. After losing to Bradford, any team could take Chelsea on their day.

 

[Tilbury]

We should be fine.

Just because he looks like a Bruce Banner who's eyes are too close together that doesn't mean he's actually hard.

Wow, you gave Liverpool a goal.

 

[Stevencc]

Wow, you gave Liverpool a goal.

I'm feeling generous mate

Sterling will try and put it out for an injury but the wind will catch it and it'll sail over the keeper's head into the net.

At least Liverpool are scoring just now...

Liverpool's last match was against Bolton which ended goalless

And that wind assisted one hasn't happened yet so you can't claim that one.

Liverpool have done ok latterly without playing strikers unlike Man Utd who have strikers supposedly worth a gazillion quid who can't score against League 2 Cambridge...

0-0 against Bolton is OK for Liverpool these days is it?

It's not like you played a weakened team or anything

 

[SALTIRE]

Bolton are a decent Championship side who on their day could make it tricky for anyone and their keeper was outstanding. Had it not been for Bogdan, Liverpool would have scored six. Man Utd didn't exactly pepper Cambridge did they though...

 

[Blitzballer]

dropped Cahill

 

[Tilbury]

Courtois; Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Luis; Matic, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Costa.

I'm not the one pretending my side are doing OK though, I'm under no illusion

 

[Tilbury]

Zouma is so much better suited to deal with the pace of Sterling than Cahill.

 

[Tilbury]

And it's a pretty decent atmosphere, unlike the first 60 minutes at Anfield.

 

[Whitechapel]

Cracking start to the game. 50/50 so far.

Come on, they've started using those speakers haven't they??

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Should be a red for Costa there.

 

[Whitechapel]

Costa knew exactly what he was doing, the bugger!

 

[Womble98]

Costa should be off.

 

[Stevencc]

Nasty stamp from Costa. Pretty pointless as well.

 

[Tilbury]

He's a nasty bastard isn't he. Love it.

 

[Relentless]

Probably about time we had someone who can bite back at opponents.
Especially against Liverpool.
