London Bridge is falling down

Quite oddly, I punched the air with delight when Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-0 last night. I felt good…it took a long time coming. It was such a nice feeling to see a team bankrolled by russian roubles…crumbling. I am not sure what it’s like come May. It sure feel good to see them shambling at Anfield.

All along we knew they had millions of pounds of talents rotting in their reserves, right now, they are exposed as a one-man team. Without their talisman captain, John Terry, this Chelsea team looked pretty lost at Anfield.

Well, the partnership of Ferreira and Essien looked uncomfortable. A pairing doomed to fail. Or was it the unhappiness of Mourinho affecting his players? With his defensive crisis looming over his head…was it right to let Gallas and Huth go at the start of the season? Who cares.

To top it off, Ballack and Drogba make a mess of a freekick. Drogba passes the ball to the sleepy German, anticipating he would stop it. Off guard, the German let the ball slip through his legs. It was comical. Oktoberfest was just a couple of months ago… shambolic, I thought.

After the two defeats by Arsenal, Benitez is praised once great again for his tactics. Did he saw the weakness in Chelsea and put in Crouch to deal with the air and let Kuyt run the ground ragged?

Is Jose Mourinho still a wily football tactician that brought in two Premiership titles in succession? Let’s not get too euphoric with this Liverpool win… only in May would we know the answer.
