That was nice.

[stokeriño]

Well shit.

AND NIALL QUINN GOES WILD

[DavidMarrio]

The defence shit it when Sterling started running directly at them. Its a fair scoreline but I think Chelsea are more likely to score a second than us.

[brenchill]

Thought Costa Lot was in there.

[stokeriño]

I have lost count of the number of goals we've conceded over the past couple of years because Cahill wanted to walk backwards all the way off the pitch rather than provide the attacker with any kind of hindrance.

I noticed that, too. I thought he had bought a ticket for a front row seat.

Skrtel with high elbows? Never.

[Nerf]

Skrtel with high elbows? Never.

Wait, what?

Skrtel doesn't throw elbows. He tugs shirts. Keep up.

Impossible for the referee to make a call against Courtois there.

I can't even tell for sure from the camera's better angle. The ball's definitely touching his chest when it's over the line, but the only question is whether there's a *slight* touch from his elbow as well.

Looks like Costa was clipped in that chance earlier, but given his momentum I'm sure it looked like a slip in real-time.

Fucking hell, vital save Courtois.

[brenchill]

It touched Courtois elbow a little bit over the line. Still impossible to see.

[Baddar]

Liverpool need to win this more than Chelsea. It'd just be typical for Chelsea to go up the other end and snatch it though.

[stokeriño]

At this rate we might not see any substitutions at all for Chelsea tonight... :/

[Baddar]

They're saying Chelsea have had only 1 attempt, but didn't Cahill head one over not too long ago?

As I post, Luis finds the stands with one.

[Jimmy]

Liverpool have had 17 shots to Chelsea's 1.

What.

What.

Sounds like our game at Southampton just after Christmas.

HOLY SHIT A SUBSTITUTION

It's been a while since we last had a five minute Azpi-playing-as-a-winger cameo.

[Baddar]

Liverpool have dominated in terms of attempts, but there have been plenty of shit ones from 25 yards.

1-1 then. 2nd leg will be a good watch.

[stokeriño]

I am heartened that we played so fucking badly and Liverpool played out of their skins and the score is still only 1-1.

It won't happen two weeks in a row. We'll do them at the Bridge.

[brenchill]

Have Liverpool ever not showed "great character" in Rodgers' eyes?

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Yeah I read some comments saying how brilliant were...and then others saying that Liverpool played their best game of the season and were at home, while Chelsea had a rubbish second half.....and they still drew.

Sadly Chelsea HAVE to be relatively big favourites to make the final. Still, hopefully if we can beat Sheffield United (not as easy as it should be), at least that would be an all-London final.

Of course I'd rather play Liverpool and that would be even better as my brother's a Liverpool fan.
