Liverpool-Chelsea 0:0 Thanx to Eurosport.com Liverpool-Chelsea Live Liverpool-Chelsea 90'+2 And the referee calls time on what has largely been a very disappointing tie between these two English giants. Liverpool-Chelsea 90'+1 Last chance for Liverpool as they win a free kick 30 yards out... GERRARD! No, it's miles over... Liverpool-Chelsea 88' Terry gives a mouthful to Alonso, after he's booked for going through the back of the Liverpool midfielder... Liverpool-Chelsea 86' Looks like Chelsea will settle for a draw here tonight... that's not the sign of champions is it? Liverpool-Chelsea 86 Lampard supervising a Chelsea free kick... in it goes but it's poor from the England man and Liverpool clear their lines... Liverpool-Chelsea 85' Five minutes to go... PLEASE can we have a goal?! Liverpool-Chelsea 82' Drogba bulldozing through the Liverpool defence, but Carragher and Hyypia are like two environmental protesters strapped to a tree on the site of a proposed motorway bypass, and won't be moved! Liverpool-Chelsea 78' Not a single shot on taget this second half! Liverpool-Chelsea 77' Sinama-Pongolle arrives, and off trots Cissé, who has been a disappointment tonight... Liverpool-Chelsea 76' Alonso with a none-to-shabby effort (excuse the pun) from distance! It's dipping and would have been awkward for Cech had it been on target! Liverpool-Chelsea 74' Substitution for Chelsea, and Crespo finally comes on, at the expense of Duff... Liverpool-Chelsea 73' Carragher and Hyypia make a hash of things at the back! Duff's nearly in as a result, but Cech goes to ground and gets an arm to the ball split seconds before the sprightly Irishlman! Liverpool-Chelsea 71' Free kick to Liverpool... Gerrard's over it and after a Roberto Carlos length run up, he strikes for goal.... but as with 95% of the little Brazilian's dead balls, it's poorly struck and hits the wall before bouncing to safety! Liverpool-Chelsea 68' Luis Garcia finds Gerrard wide on the right, perhaps a little too wide, but he still manages to send a decent cross into the box... Cech's out first though to claim! Liverpool-Chelsea 64' Chelsea substitution - Robben, who's been largely ineffectual tonight, departs, and Shaun Wright Phillips, who has a name long enough to give me nightmares and who I shall call SWP from hereon in, comes on... Liverpool-Chelsea 63' From the free kick, the ball is whipped into the box... it clears everyone, except Drogba who reallly didn't seem to know anything about his clearance... the ball hits his knee and flies off for another corner! Liverpool-Chelsea 59 Booking for Robben for dissent... third booking of the night... not for Robben, but in this match... Liverpool-Chelsea 59' We have a real game now! The Liverpool players and fans are perhaps feeling a little aggrieved after the turned down penalty! Noise is thundering out from the Kop now! Game on! Liverpool-Chelsea 57' Luis Garcia showing some nice touches on the edge of the Chelsea box, but he's crowded out by three Chelsea players in the end... Liverpool-Chelsea 56' CORNER TO LIVERPOOL, and it's CARRAGHER with the HEADER! It's flying in but there's a Chelsea player in the way to deflect the ball for another corner! In fact, it was Gallas who the ball struck, and more to the point it was his arm! I've seen them given for worse! And by the looks of things Carragher agrees with me! Liverpool-Chelsea 55' Crespo is warming up on the sidelines... what a luxory for Mourinho to the likes of the Argentine striker on the bench... Drogba's time could be up for tonight... Liverpool-Chelsea 51' LUIS GARCIA is through on goal! But Cech is off his line quicker to clear. Was he tugged back? I thought I saw a little tug from Ferreira, but credit to Garci for staying on his feet... Liverpool-Chelsea 47' Liverpool making the early running in the second half... no changes for either team at half time... Liverpool-Chelsea 45' Essien takes a ramming from behind... but there's no time to take the free kick - the ref's had enough for one half, and he toots on his whistle to end proceedings for fifteen minutes of relaxation.... well, that's what I'll be doing anyway.... Liverpool-Chelsea 40' Five minutes to half time, and it's still goalless at Anfield... Liverpool-Chelsea 38' Gerrard demanding the wall is put back the full ten yards... the kick is met by a Chelsea head... ALONSO FIRES IN A SHOT from the clearance, but the ball climbs high over the bar, even making it into the second tier of the stand! Impressive Xavi, but wrong game mate! Liverpool-Chelsea 37' Mourinho with some choice words for someone on the sidelines.. not sure who, but one things for sure, even with my limited knowledge of Portuguese, what's coming out of his mouth is pure filth! Liverpool-Chelsea 35' Carvalho seems to be stuck to the back of Crouch... really, I haven't seen the target man without the Chelsea defender on his back all game long... Liverpool-Chelsea 34' Chelsea are edging into control of the game now, as Liverpool's early dominance starts to wane... Liverpool-Chelsea 31' Drgoba with a BEAUTIFUL reverse pass to Robben, but Robben gets caught by Traore... good block... Liverpool-Chelsea 30' That's better from Chelsea, as Lampard starts to pull the strings in midfield... Liverpool-Chelsea 28' Gallas trying to get past THREE Liverpool defenders out on the left wing... he does well to get past two, but the third proves to be one too many... Liverpool-Chelsea 27' Chelsea looking a big ragged at the moment, and not really passing the ball around with their usual conviction... Liverpool-Chelsea 24' Makelele goes into the ref's book for going in on Gerrard from behind... Liverpool-Chelsea 23' HAMMAN CROSSES the ball teasingly into the box! It's begging for someone to get on the end of it... but there's no one there and the chance goes, ahem, begging... Liverpool-Chelsea 19' PENALTY SHOUT for LIVERPOOL! But the ref turns down Hyypia's claims... it was Drogba, who was adjudged to have won the ball cleanly.... Liverpool-Chelsea 19' Free kick against Carvalho for high feet on Crouch - how does that happen? You need to be doing a flying karate kick to get high on Crouch! Liverpool-Chelsea 17' Traore feeds Gerrard who controls and turns in one movement... but the Scouser's slightly off balance and his shot flies over Cech's bar... Liverpool-Chelsea 14' Gerrard penalised for getting a bit too physical with Makelele... I thought that was just a case of two midfielders challenging for the ball... oh well, this isn't the Premiership... Liverpool-Chelsea 12' The Chelsea fans making themselves heard for the first time this game, as they get behind the visitors... Liverpool-Chelsea 9' Reina flaps at the resulting corner, as it flashes across the face of the goal... no one's there to get on the end of it though... goal kick... Liverpool-Chelsea 7' LAMPARD FROM THE FREE KICK! He hammers that one, and forces Reina into pushing it round for a corner! First real chance for the Blues! Liverpool-Chelsea 7' Xabi Alonso goes into the book for a spot of shirt-tugging on Essien... free kick to Chelsea... Liverpool-Chelsea 6' Both Benitez and Mourinho looking dapper on the sidelines, suited and booted.... sorry, this is turning into eurofashion watch or something... I'll try to concentrate on the game... Liverpool-Chelsea 4' Cech is forced into a rushed clearance as Lampard closes down a backpass... Liverpool-Chelsea 4' Liverpool's kit has a nice little touch - gold numbers instead of the normal white... it lokks a lot classier, as befits the champions of Europe! Liverpool-Chelsea 2' Lampard tries to find Drogba down the middle... the Ivorian controls the ball with his head, but Carragher intercepts just in time... Liverpool come away with the possession... Liverpool-Chelsea 1' Chelsea get the game underway, playing in their usual all blue strip. No prizes for guessing what colour Liverpool are in tonight - all red.... Liverpool-Chelsea 1' Underway throughout Europe! Let the night's action commence... |
