Liverpool 1 - 4 Chelsea

Surprisingly, I'm not as disappointed after seeing Liverpool being mauled by the "mighty" Chel$ki.. I hope the defeat will be a wake up call for Benitez to rethink about his NEW tactic of employing Peter "Beanpole" Crouch as a lone striker upfront..

We are getting more predictable wif Crouch leading the strike force alone.. It's no doubt abt his aerial capability and his ball controlling.. But Liverpool is not fully benefitting from Crouch's knockdowns b'cos there isn't any 1 there receiving them.. IS Benitez relying on Crouch to head into goal wif all the crosses supply to him?

I would really like to see someone is partnering Crouch.. supports him and receives his knockdowns.. Hopefully Morientes will recover real soon.. OR we could haf a change of partnership for different strategies.. Morientes-Crouch, Cisse-Crouch, Cisse-Morientes..

Benitez...

"In my first season in charge of Valencia we went 13 games without losing a match. There were seven draws in those games. Everyone spoke about the number of games we drew and how the team needed to win," he said.

"At the end of the season, we were league champions."
