Liverpool vs Chelsea Post Match Comments


The match has already been played for almost a week, but all of us are still enjoying the win against the Blues and the fact that we are heading towards Athens. The victory was sweet and to see both Man Utd and Chelsea bowing out of the competition made it sweeter.

Chelsea was a hard team to beat, and for 90 minutes, we beaten them 1-0. They won't not able to score with the presence of Jamie Carragher and Daniel Agger who scored the only goal of the game. Oh man, didn't he struck the ball so beautifully that Petr Cech can't react fast enough to save it!


Our skipper, Steven Gerrard was superb. No doubt he's so wanting to lift the trophies with his arms again. He was great in the center of the park and was inspiring the team to hold onto the lead earlier in the game. His stamina and power are just unbelievable. Running non-stop throughout and was tackling any single ball he could see.

Dirk Kuyt's penalty gave us the victory and I truly believe that he deserved that penalty winner. His form came back and playing pretty well. He had a header off the bar, and scored a goal which is ruled offside, when it's onside. His determination and stamina were just extraordinary. He just didn't stop closing down on the players and worked extremely hard for the team. You could see that he was hungry to for success, wanting to go the Champions League final. Keep going Kuyt!



Of course, our victory was also because of this man, Pepe Reina. His saves in the penalty shootout were proven crucial as we won 4-1 on the night. During the 120 minutes, he was confident and made several important saves which kept us in the game. No doubt, he playing his best football now in his Liverpool career. He had proved one season ago in the FA Cup final that he's one of the best penalty stoppers. Again, he has shown the world that he's a penalty saver expert. His saves for Robben and Geremi's was good enough to bring Liverpool to the plane to Greece.



Our fans, as always, were the best on the night. Full voice, full support for the team and that gave so much lift and confidence to the players, no doubt about it. We have the best fans in the world. You can't find any fans like ours. It's just so unbelievable. They sang from the 1st minute all the way till the end. I really wonder how these guys do it, but still, they can do it. Without them, I don't think we can make it to the final.



Walk on..

You'll Never Walk Alone..
