CL Semi-final - Chelsea vs Liverpool


Liverpool deserved the lost and it was lucky to lost by one goal only!!It was a big disappointment for Liverpool fans to watch how tame was Liverpool when they lost to Chelsea. It would be quite hard to Liverpool to dream of CL final now. Everything is game over when Chelsea scores 1 goal in the second round at Anfield.
Just looking back at last year tournament, Liverpool lost to Benfica 2-0 at Anfield. Liverpool remains weak in coming back when the opponents score first. Of couse, we may just forget about Istanbul and last year FA Cup final. There were only 2 come backs in so many matches. In conclusion, the history shows that the possibilities are very low.
Let us come back to semi final match. I was shocked when I saw Zenden is in the starting line up. I have no idea what he can do or contribute to the team. He is old and should not play in any big game - just like Robbie Fowler. He can even run faster than a right back and this is proven when he did absolutely nothing in the match. Yet Benitez did not bring him out and he played full match. Zenden runs like a turtle and wanted to dribble pass defenders during the match. Passing the ball to him is nothing different from throwing the ball into the sea. He should not play in any big game. He is useless!
Why Benitez put Gerrard to play at right again? Liverpool totally cant attack when he is playing at right. He is not a purely right midfielder and he cant make good crossing. He was hardly to involve in the game due to his position. Liverpool center midfield was alsmot empty and Chelsea was making party at there. Liverpool did not make any danger attempt to Chelsea goal other than the long shoot from Gerrard.
DirK Kuyt - no doubt about his work rate. But it is not enough in a big game. Frankly speaking, I do not think he is a good striker. Same problem again as he cannot run fast - no pace. Without the most important ingredient as a striker, he did nothing in recent matches. Pls ... look at hime, he cant even run faster than a defender. Kuyt is kinda useless too!
Xabi Alonso. He is just too soft and he is not a complete player. Other than his long passes, he hardly contribute to the team as well. He is the defensive midfielder and you hardly see him to win the ball from the opponents. He is running like an old man too and his reaction is just too slow as an defensive midfielder. He always do nothing for the team too!

What do you think about Momo Sissoko?


No doubt, Sissoko produced an excellent performance for the first match of the season where Liverpool vs Chelsea in the Community Shield game. His flying tackles had caused Ballack and Lampard been quiet during the match.
However, he has now be one of the players that i dislike the most in Liverpool squad. Another player that i dislike the most is Peter Crouch. He should be a basketball player instead of a footbll player. I will mention about he in the coming posting.
Let us go back to Momo Sissoko. I heard this comment from my friend when we were matching the high tempo match - Liverpool vs Barcelone last week. Liverpool was lucky enough to lost the match 0-1 to Barca. This is because Liverpool was playing with 10 players against Barca who has 12 players. What is this? This is due to Sissoko was playing for Barca in the match.
He made so many passes to Barca players in the match! Whenever he got the ball from Liverpool teammates, he passed the ball to the Barca players. This is really useless and stupid. He never learn to pass a ball!!
Whenever he is playing, Liverpool will be short of 1 player during attacking. He does absolutely nothing in attacking. In defending, he rarely produces an excellent performances as well.
I was so happy when he dislocated his shoulder where I know Liverpool will do better without him. Liverpool records is far more better when Gerrard played in the center role.
Liverpool performance is a bit drop recently due to the return of this useless Momo??
