Liverpool 1-0 Chelsea
liverpool 1-0 Chelsea. for starters i am absolutely sure the ball didn't cross the line. so the goal should not have counted.
yet we matched barcelona and bayern munich for skill but we could not match liverpool for desire.
and gudjohnson missed a sitter in the SIXTH minute of added time.
and even the special one makes mistakes. big mistake i thought. bringing robben on so late? robben looked far from his best but certainly had enough about him to create something had he been given more time. and when mourinho says that the best team lost after the match, i beg to differ.
Chelsea didn't deserve to lose. they just didn't deserve to win, against a side maybe less blessed in talent but certainly not in heart we looked short on ideas, energy and will.
tears for gallas. mourinho huddles with the players on the pitch in the face of defeat. kezman looked as clueless after the match as he was during the match and for much of the season. lampard for a while tried to take the game by the scruff of the neck but even he can be fatigued. really wasn't much more terry could do. and a confounded look from drogba, who contributed as much to Chelsea getting to the semifinal as he did towards Chelsea crashing out.
next year maybe. 2 semifinal defeats in a row should give much added impetus to win the 3rd one. and maybe we would get a proper striker.
