Was good to see Kenny changing things up. Downing's last match for us obviously wasn't a good enough performance, so Kenny dropped him to the bench and it worked wonders, his replacement scored. Hopefully that will be the kick up the bum downing needs to start improving and adding a lot more to the team.

but we weren't 'outplayed' by them for the match as a whole. For large periods in 2nd half, yes but thats part of away matches, and how to deal with them surely, i am not jumping on your opinion but i think this is one area where KD is good at ; saying to other teams " here have the ball see what u can do with it" as opposed to trying to keep the ball for 90mins, not possible in premeirship

missed the game yesterday was traveling back from amsterdam, just watched the re-run there now. great win lads, great team performance. well done dalglish got the team selection and tactics spot on. now bring on city

Basically if comes down to this: Reina misses that free kick and we lose.

We were nowhere defensively in the second half until he made that save. Quite frankly Johnson might as well not have played until he got he winner - every single time they attacked our right flank in the second half he failed to stop the cross coming in. Mata went straight through him once as well!

As usual Maxi scored a vital goal but did very little of importance for the rest of the game. Bellamy bustled about but in all honesty he didn't do much more than Henderson, though his lay-off to Maxi in the box deserves some praise. Kuyt was largely absent too. The real difference was that we suppressed their midfield completely in the first half, and we made our chances count. Adam was immense - his tackling is usually suspect but he did very well in that department all game.

Other than that it was just another average display, quite frankly. Chelsea were no better in that regard - they didn't impose themselves on the game until the second half, and Drogba was largely absent. But we did the things that I've been wanting us to do all season - not disappear entirely during the second half, score the last goal. What a difference it makes, eh?

If only we could do the same when we're not the underdog.

How many times have we done that and lost or drawn and then fans say we played sh1t?

ffs people we got the 3 points and lets get over it...

look at united...those bast@rds never dominate a game to win it....they just get outplayed and still win most of the games..!

get in there

True that, who cares we won Would like you all to join me in a song...

YOU AIN'T GOT NO HISTORY..

hahaha still buzzing tbh, great win! fantastic game of football. We where far from perfect, but we did what we had to do.

I thought johnson played well, but was defiantly targeted as a weak link- Can't expect him to keep mata out all game on his own.

Thought we were rotten down the right in 2nd halfBUT fair play they dug it out, now a bit of consistency please

Well that does it Bar, ...I always felt that this modern fascination with stats was a waste of bloody time, now I know it...'lies, damn lies and statistics'! We were all over them for the first half and should have been 3 up and we shared the spoils in the second half. We deserved our win and that was also the opinion of the panel on MOTD! So shove them fuc*ing stats where big King Kong shoved his nuts! Oh and by the way I hope LFC don't sign any players using stats like those or we're for the high jump for sure.
