1st Leg at Anfiled
Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea
With Hope in Our Hearts...
We Will Walk to Moscow Together!
Even at 1-0, I didn't feel safe knowing that the second leg will be played at Stamford Bridge next Wed. When 4 minutes of injury time was played, I thought we still can get 1 more goal on the break as Chelsea was looking to equalize. I was so wrong. It turned out to be a disaster. Riise scored a disastrous own goal in the 4min of injury time. Totally devastated. Yes all fans in Reds are feeling terrible. I couldn't sleep after that. It took me about 1 hour later to fall asleep. The sight of Riise putting the ball into our own net kept repeating in my head. I can imagine how Mr Riise would feel for the rest of his life if Liverpool were to go out of the Cup next week because of his injury time blunder. Once again, Liverpool v Chelsea was played cautiously and the stubborn Chelsea's defence and Petr Cech proved to be the stumbling block again. I'm seriously feeling frustrated over this. The only time when Chelsea's defence and Cech looked seriously vulnerable was the 20mins after half time. The other time, it was almost quite boring with Liverpool's defence handling the Chelsea well and the Chelsea's midfield not allowing Liverpool to penetrate attack. Same story always for the past few encounters. But I must have hope, so does the other Redders. It will be the first time one certain Fernando Torres will be playing at Stamford Bridge. It will be the first time Stamford Bridge will be witnessing the power of the Gerrard-Torres combination. And it will be the first time Benitez get a victory at Stamford Bridge. Stamford Bridge will fall down just like London Bridge! Again! Haha...
