Liverpool 2 Chelski 0

That was a great result! Liverpool desperately needed something good soon, and this might just be the result that turns things around for us. Kuyt and Pennant were the scorers, while Jamie Carragher was the star in the center of defense. Wish this could happen more often. The truth still remains that this is the first time Liverpool have beaten Chelski in the league since Rafa and Jose arrived in the English league. But hey, lets enjoy it!

So, Liverpool have won two of the five which I had talked about in an earlier post. We are now 5 behind Chelsea, and 11 behind Man Utd. I think it may still be possible to catch Chelski. Though second is hardly the same as first, it would still be terrific.

Being in this situation just keeps reminding you of the wasted points at the beginning of the season. We could easily have been title challengers if we get a good start to the season for once!! Draws against Sheffield Utd and Middlesborough(both away) and Blackburn and Portsmouth(both home), defeats to Everton and Bolton (both away), coupled with defeats to all three of the big four, meant that at the end of November, we had already lost 23 points, out of which only 9 were to the big title contenders. The remaining 14 could have been real handy right now, and would have improved our chances of stealing some of the points from the big 3 too! And in December, we lost to Blackburn again, another three points wasted.

Anyway, West Ham(a), Everton(h) and Newcastle(a) now before the trip to Barcelona.
