Dunny, I was actually at this game and though I can understand why you say this, it was pretty obvious to me that we did not have any idea how to break down Chelski UNTIL Yossi came on the field.
Before then, our best threats were from the forward runs by Johnson on the right side and Riera did give Ivanovich trouble. And Torres in truth, fluffed 3 chances. From we went down 1-0, it was either going to be 1-1 or 2-0. The FACT of the matter is that we don't have a midfield. Until that is fixed, we have no chance...and it doesn't look like Rafa will bench Lucas, for what reason I don't know. Had I managed that team, my line up for Chelski would have been
----------Reina
Johnson -- Carra -- Skrtel -- Aurelio (not sure how fit he is)
Kuyt----Gerrard---Masch----Riera*
----------Yossi
----------------Torres
*Riera needs to get fit to run 90 mins, his best play is always in the first 20 mins, so subbing him for Babel is a definite must.

Liverpool were unlucky to leave the Bridge empty handed
I watched the re-run of Chelsea v Liverpool and thought Liverpool were unlucky to lose the game.The 2 nil score line doesn't tell the true story.Torres and Gerrard didn't have the best of games yet Liverpool still had enough chances to get something from the game.
