Winning has never felt this good.

A bit excessive isn't it?

We do seem to be using our young ones a lot more. The fact that they are preforming is a joy. Long may it continue and Roy has bought my praise for a week but I'm still wondering what chance we will have against teams that don't want to take the attacking initiative.

Oh and I hate this KHL bashing, one of the best contributers to the site and a little too much patriotism gets him a bashing every time. Grow up, don't hate! tolerate.

Our young ones are stepping up big time.

Kelly was great. Great allround performance by thr team.

This win will give the lads super confidence going forward.

What a difference a goalscoring Torres makes! Welcome back!

We've got nobody else who could score goals like Torres's today.
Well, apart from Gerrard anyway.

It's why those two players are the best we have, and should be cherished

Some fair points:

* This game was a microcosm of Lucas Leiva's career at Liverpool. He's under-appreciated and still underrated - the typical midfield spoiler, really. Against Chelsea he was disciplined, efficient and - with the help of Steven Gerrard - dominated Chelsea's midfield. The clear man of the match, an award he would surely have been given if Torres had only scored once.

* While he was only on the pitch for around eight minutes, the introduction of Jonjo Shelvey at a still delicate stage of the match in place of Dirk Kuyt displays how highly the youngster is thought of at Anfield. Still only 18, the boy could have a big future. Equally, it could be an illustration of the lack of faith Hodgson has in Christian Poulsen.

* It was also a good day for another Liverpool youngster. At the start of the game, one feared for Martin Kelly, selected at right-back, who had an afternoon dealing with the combined threat of Ashley Cole, Yuri Zhirkov and Florent Malouda ahead. As it turns out, we need not have worried - Kelly dealt with the left-sided trio with the ease of a much older, more experienced man. He is still raw, but based on their performances thus far this season, he is a better option - defensively, at least - than Glen Johnson.

* To give an idea of what an achievement it was for Liverpool to even breach the Chelsea defence, Torres's goals were just the fourth and the fifth they have conceded in the league this season. Indeed, it is the first time Chelsea have conceded twice in a game since April, when Spurs beat them 2-1.

 

[Rafiagra]

but Torres has been behaving like a soft twat recently.

Having Kuyt up with him made the difference today. That pass for the first goal was different class.

Not really. It's the sort of one-eyed, arse-faced, load of fucking bollocks that I'd expect a vegetable on SQUAWK to write.

We beat Chelsea at Anfield.
Where we also lost to Blackpool.

We're 9th.

That's all true. What's also true is that you have a massive chip on your shoulder when we win under a manager you loathe, which makes you look silly.

You seem quick to take the Blackpool game as representative of us this season while quick to dismiss or play down our wins, they were all fair points, based on this game. Arse faced? Yeah.

[mark1975]

So? We were in the relegation zone last week, now we're 5pts off the top four. Disastrous. He wouldn't be the first manager to take a couple of months to get to grips with a team.

 

[Ijg]

I get where Bren is coming from, 3 points against Chelsea or not, we're 9th. This is not acceptable for Liverpool Football Club.

However, after recent weeks, this is an amazing result and shows we're somewhat on the right track.

I don't think anyone is happy with how it's gone so far, but that doesn't mean you can't give credit when it's due, or acknowledge that we've had a thin squad, some tough fixtures, off the field problems and a new manager to bed in. It takes time. He's been shit for most of the season but we look like we're getting our act together.

 

[Paddy]

Simple fact is. Last 3 games, 9 points. Alright, we don't want Hodgson as manager, but come on. It's more than I could have hoped for.

I can't even be arsed answering that because I've said it as clearly as I can in other threads. I don't 'think' he's good enough in the longterm but if he does well he'll get the credit he deserves, just like he'll get the flack too.

At least try and be a bit reasonable about it, what's the point in being stubborn? To save face? It doesn't mean he's suddenly good, but we won and that's all that counts and he deserves support and acknowledgement for that, if he deserves the stick he's had for our poor run of form, why is such a fucking deal to give him a bit of praise?

Yeh that's fair enough. I still do not want Hodgson as manager, but he's doing alright, we're winning, playing better and picking up points. I'm here to support the club so thats what i'll do.

Hodgson has been up against it but I feel some decisions he's made, have been mistakes, but he looks like he's turning it round.

If we're 9th at the end of the season then you'd have a point Brendan. Banging on about it now, a third way into the season seems a bit pointless although we can all understand your frustration that with every win your disappointment increases.

Me neither. A fair question to ask would be would you forego a final win if it meant a manager who wasn't going to produce the goods in the league being replaced?

 

[Oncy]

I am happy with todays result. How could you not be?

Ive stuck the boot in when our results were
L
D
L
L
Yadda yadda so credit where its due (and it surely is) when our last 5 results are DWWWW
Only a supermong would try to fucking find unhappiness in that.

 

[Woland]

That was good shit right there. All of them. I mean Maxi was a bit gay but other than that it was perfect. Even Lucas was fucking boss.

I mean if Lucas could be relied on to be that good, and we played 442, we'd finally be able to let Gerrard have free roll. And Meireles was ace, and so was Kelly... I mean even that Mekon headed cunt at Left Back wasn't bad.

I love Roy and I'm getting a Poulsen kit.

Haven't had a chance to look at the table but I think we're joint second or something.

[Woland]

Bit pissed off with Pepe as I had Torres and 2-1 at 50/1. I was shouting but I don't think he heard.

And I'm already doing all that shit in my head where we've already beaten Wigan and West Ham.

Bit weird after all the gaytarded shit in the first half a dozen games innit.
