Being selective as always Ill pick up on a couple of points here.
Makelele was the only Chelsea outfield player who did his job, however, the 2 times Gerrard got the better of him, Liverpool missed two brilliant chances (Gerrard's shot and Torres' first half 1-on-1).
Not too sure about your seond line - he scored a hattrick v Reading and I know its lesser opposition, but he was kicked in that game more than vs Utd and Chelsea today. And your legitimising fouling for a way of stopping a player - now you might be a traditionalist, and like the defenders to have a no-nonsense approach to defending, but dont sugarcoat giving Torres a battering as "roughing him up" - he's got 30 goals in his first season in England - how could you say he cant take a bit of a kicking - his record this season proves it - when "roughing up" turns to fouling, then that's for the ref to do his job - which on more than one occasion, not just today, but in other matches this season - refs just havent done - im not calling for protection like your 2 faced Fergie did - i'd like refs to clear up the difference between roughing up and kicking a player to stop him from playing football.

If we can score at the bridge then its on. Will be very difficult but after that point its in our hands.
