Battle of the losers: Chelsea v Pool / Dec 19th 19.45

S4P wrote:Yep, battle of the losers. One holds both domestic cups, the other reached the CL final. I'm sure you Feyenord fans wouldn't mind being called 'losers' (not that you already aren't ) and achieving this.

Regarding the team: Cudicini, Belletti, Ben Haim, Alex, Bridge, Essien, Ballack, Lampard, SWP, Kalou, Sheva.

Hope your players don't start with the same attitude. Fulham, Everton, Blackburn, Rosenborg, Valenica all returned with a draw this season. Can't see why Pool can't win there. Not odds on of course, but you have a decent chance.

Yep exactly, draws, no one wins there though and if it went to penalties I'd be amazed if we won again

Here's hoping that Ballack-Essien central midfield doesn't click straight away...

FFS Frank what do you base this on now, on second thought your opinion means very little

Charles Itandje was voted Liverpool's star performer during the 2-0 Carling Cup defeat at Chelsea by the Reds fans who took part in an exclusive vote on this website.
Meanwhile Lucas took the Liverpoolfc.tv accolade.

After each game we ask you to pick the Reds' top three players - and we'll pick ours too.

The winner of each poll then gets three points, the runner-up gets two and the third best player gets one. At the end of the season the points are totted up to reveal our star performer.

Liverpoolfc.tv's top three players v Chelsea

1. Lucas. The Brazilian was always a threat and his passing, especially in the first half, was outstanding.

2. Charles Itandje. The French goalkeeper made some excellent saves and he showed his qualities.

3. Jamie Carragher. So unlucky with the deflection for Frank Lampard's goal, and he didn't deserve it because he fought so hard for the team cause.

Liverpool fans' top three players v Chelsea

1. Charles Itandje. 461 votes.

2. Jamie Carragher. 447 votes.

3. Lucas. 279.
