Liverpool v Chelsea

The game started as it seems this matchup normally does, with strong possession play and most chances occurring off the counter. Liverpool controlled the play for most of the first half, although Gerrard seemed off his game with the foot injury. His shots from distance were off target and poor and he will need to regain form for Liverpool to win close matches like this one. Fernando Torres scored in his Enfield debut, controlling a strong forward ball to sneak it into the side netting underneath a diving Petr Cech. The second half saw more of the same, with Jermaine Pennant supplying good balls from the right wing. The referee made his presence felt, with what felt like a dozen yellow cards. The worst call of the game, however, came as a pass came in to Malouda who ran into Jamie Carragher and was awarded a penalty. Neither player touched the ball nor made an effort to play it. I was truly outraged, as Lampard coolly dispatched the penalty to tie the game. The air quickly left Liverpool's sails and the game slowly settled to a 1-1 draw. Good result for Liverpool but they could have done so much better.
