Chelsea vs. Liverpool – Premier League Review (Part 3)
With only a few minutes gone, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196 threw in a perfect cross from Maxi Rodriguez. The Argentinean
striker was only a yard from the goal line and even though he touched the ball, he only managed to find the cross bar. It was a goal that could not be missed, but the Argentinean was having a night off.
With the first half ending, Chelsea had most of the ball and possessed up to 60 per cent during the game, but Liverpool were the ones with the most creative chances. The Reds were taking their game to the next level with the help of the tactics applied by
their new coach Kenny Dalglish.
The first half also saw tension between the centre back Ivanovic and the goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Petr-Cech-c29837. Ivanovic was trying to clear the ball even though it fell perfectly for the Chelsea goalkeeper. Both players stood up and almost ended in a brawl but the captain

With both teams returning to the pitch, Chelsea seemed to be the brighter side. The Blues took their chances on goal with the help of Nicolas Anelka and Ivanovic. The Frenchman tried his luck on goal from wide out as Ivanovic won a header from a corner,
but couldn’t find the target.
Even though Chelsea was having a good spell in the second half, it was the former Liverpool man, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jamie-Carragher-c17728 as both of them
read the play well and held their centre back position perfectly.
Fernando Torres was replaced by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Salomon-Kalou-c32266 during the 65th minute and his night ended goal-less as he could not even create a single opportunity to find the back of the net.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-Reina-c29672. With this shot, Chelsea’s night
was summed up. Even though the home team were trying to score time and again, they simply couldn’t get a shot on target for 67 minutes.
