LAST NIGHTS GAMES - 1 FEB

LIVERPOOL 2 CHELSEA 0
Chelsea has taken 1 point from a possible 15 points from games with the top 4 of last season. What is wrong? The forwards didn’t have a sniff of any good attempt following on from the awful one attempt they had at Old Trafford. This is something that could never have happened with Jose Mourinho. First attempt at goal in the 74 minute is not acceptable for Stoke City, for Chelsea it is shameful.

Mike Riley is officially the worst referee of the weekend. Steven Gerard raised his studs and got a pat on the back from Riley but Frank Lampard gets a red card when he is kicked by Xabi Alonso. What utter nonsense. If the FA doesn’t overturn this red card then there is a conspiracy somewhere. And then Jose Bosingwa’s assault was overlooked; if there is a better reason for either more referees or video technology I haven’t seen it yet.

But Chelsea fans can’t blame their defeat on that red card, they weren’t involved in any chances of victory before the card and they are not built to win a game with 10 men when you can only call on Deco and Didier Drogba when in crisis. Two woeful players joining Michael Ballack in a badly balanced team. The less we say about Ashley "girls blouse" Cole the better. is that what passes for defence today.


Fernando Torres scored 2 for Liverpool but their cautious approach won’t be winning them any thing this season.


NEWCASTLE 1 SUNDERLAND 1
In a game that should normally be full of passion, we get another stupid referee decision deciding the outcome. How the referee Howard Webb decided on that penalty is beyond me but he helped Newcastle back into the game. If Sunderland had taken all their chances would have taken all the points.


Djibril Cisse scored for Sunderland and Shola Ameobi equalised from the penalty spot.
