This has got to be the longest 90 mins ever. Stop....Babel time......soon KUYT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sorry, but Lucas miscontrolled twice there, and slipped up. Gave that away. Bad decision making. Bad sub. Shame really because it was much fun until this point disproving the critics....

Very strange....not sure how on earth could anyone take Masch off and keep Lucas on?

Pepe......no no no no no. What a schoolboy mistake

Is EXACTLY how I'm feeling now.....heart is pounding and we're not even on the pitch!

How did that not go in?????

Just spotted that too (Lucas)....didn't even chase back then.

ESPN commentators keep saying the peno was questionable....."not too many refs would have given that" - Ivanovic was wrestling Alonso to thr ground. idiots....

This is feckin unreal.....amazing fans at the game...amazing start. Great ref too Then Chelsea have woken up, and we are sitting back. And Anelka coming on already.... I forgot to wear my shirt last week, but did for ManU & Real - got it back on this week. Sorry about last week....

As I say apols if this has been done before, but I just went for a run post match to get the anger out, and all I could think of was their first goal from the corner tonight. I sat there at the time, screaming at the screen for someone to mark someone. We had 3 (or maybe 4) players lined up on the 6 yard box marking space. No-one between them and the keeper. Then 3 players out trying to mark the 4 Chelsea runners. Ivanovic basically was the extra man, and ran into one of the spaces on the 6 yard box. I've seen schoolboys do better!!! I just don't get it - it seems that over the past 2 seasons we've let in many goals from this 'method'. Has anyone got any stats to prove or disprove that? Surely each team you play will have a different make up, and different potential winners of the ball, and styles of corners, such that you play to defend their attack? Or am I just being dumb here, and doing the same zonal thing each time should work...?? Either way - I feel like writing to Rafa.... "Dear Rafa, Re: Zonal marking. Please please please give it up. Please also (while you are watching all the videos we hear you watch) take a look at how inept the zonal marking method is and has proved time after time for Liverpool. It's giving me a heart attack every time we have a corner against us, and giving our opponents hope. Yours Disgruntled fan" Thoughts??

Just saw the stats - apparently we had 57% possession? I'm still not calm so this won't be clear thinking....but I think it was more than the midfield where we had issues tonight. Defence was abysmal too. Lucas proved he just does not offer enough. Riera has had a few off days recently. Stevie was snuffed out by Essien. Torres was well up for it, but without Stevie at 200%, he can't do it all. Skrtel looked slow tonight, which really surprised me. Is the summary that Rafa was out-thought?

No fight tonight - case in point there, Babel loses it - the nearby 4 players just stop and don't fight back. Long ball out to Torres, and no fight to support him.

No defenders there again....thank god for Pepe....

This is bizarre to watch. Skrtel brings the ball out, there are 3 or Chelsea players in front of him, but I see no reds ?? Dossena mis controls two simple balls. We give it away time after time. Not quite sure where the team from the past few weeks has gone?

3-1 down, and here comes Anelka!! Positive move to bring on Babel for Lucas though.

2106: "You'd be disappointed if your pub team had conceded two goals like Liverpool have tonight." BBC Radio 5 Live's Mark Lawrenson It's not over yet though...get one back and then it's still on......

Nobody marks anybody at corners. Again......

F&ck me...where has our defence gone?????

You're kidding right? We really need to sort out what the f&ck is going on at corners - I could see that one coming - we had three players marking the six yard box, and 3 players covering 4 runners, and one of the runners ran in between and scored. I think the saying goes - if you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always gotten.

Not exactly our recent fast start.... Also look forward to being pleasantly surprised by Dossena..............

I was just catching up on the latest LFC news, and saw the various rumours about Javi Martinez, so thought I'd youtube him and found this clip and hilarious We need more British commentators like that - got any more?

Madrid 4-0 ManU 4-1 Villa 5-0 How can we possibly cap that? And to top it off, all my Manc mates have gone quiet. What a week...... Part of me still struggles with how we can do this now, but not against some of the poorer teams we dropped points against, but mainly I'm delirious

Bad decision....poor touch by Torres. Nice reaction by fans.

Mockering is supposed to work the other way remember - like your Fulham/Hodgson thread
