The Liverpool vs Chelsea thread!!

Do you watch any football ?

If Gerrard's fit, he will play. Could you imagine the reaction of the fans if he was dropped? There was already huge uproar when Rafa took him off in the Everton game, with the score at 1-1 (a game Pool later went on to win). Leaving him out of the team for 90 minutes of such a big match would leave him facing the boot (which is probably why Rafa's adopted the 4-2-3-1 to accomodate Gerrard and give him the ability to select Masch and Alonso). Sadly (for you) I think Rafa will play 4-4-2 and leave out either Masch or Alonso. Either way we will hopefully reap the benefits from this.

I hope Gerrard plays because he's sexual when he's on form.

I hope Lampard scores the winning goal because coater's reaction will be an absolute gem. We can't both have what we want though, so at least one of us will be wrong.

Lampard or Cole will score at the Bridge but it wont be the winner

haha that's certainly one way of looking at it sp

The other being that rafa clearly thinks gerrard and torres are his two best players and he wants them to do all the damage

Again I ask

Are you being intentionally stupid tonight ?

Blues boss makes Kop idol his No1 target

AVRAM: GET ME STEVIE G

STEVEN GERRARD should pip Cristiano Ronaldo to the Player of the Year award.

That's the verdict of Chelsea boss Avram Grant — who would love to see the Liverpool skipper join his ranks at Stamford Bridge.


Gerrard lines up against the Blues in Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg — but he twice came close to joining Chelsea when Grant's predecessor, Jose Mourinho, was in charge.

And the current Bridge boss has revealed he is just as big an admirer of the Kop idol who he regards as the best in Europe.

Grant said: "Gerrard is a great player and a great person. For me he is the player of the year in England and maybe in Europe because of the influence he has on the team."

Manchester United winger Ronaldo is the nailed-on favourite to collect the individual honours this year.

But, just days after declaring he might have £100million of Roman Abramovich's money to spend this summer, Grant insisted it's Gerrard he covets the most.

The Israeli explained: "He's very good, I like him very much as a player.

"And I know him — he is a nice guy, a positive guy and he is an example for many people.

"Unfortunately he plays against me — not with me — but he is still my favourite player.

"I'm not surprised he is playing up front with Fernando Torres now because I think he can play in many positions. In that position he probably feels more free.

"Tactically, its not easy to play against this position."

And when reminded how close Gerrard came to joining Chelsea, Grant added: "If you can bring him to me, I will be happy."

You're getting very desperate when you're quoting Avram Grant coater.

Fortunately, he won't be at the club much longer (certainly as manager anyway) so this will never happen.

Gerrard missed his chance in 2005. Instead, we went out and got Essien. What a deal that turned out to be!

Nobody else thinks that these statements from Grant are:

1. The usual soundbites from opposition managers replying diplomatically when asked about the opponent's key player/s.

and/or

2. Grant trying to unsettle Gerrard with nonsense transfer speculation, right before a big game??

Why 2-1? when did I lose?? I said Milan would beat us in last years final so that's not a conceded goal

Surely if dont go out we will finish behind them as well? but i don't about you, I would rather win the European cup and finish 4th than 3rd with NOTHING

Is that the carling cup that Gerrard handed to you

The very same.

What an inspiring header it was from Stevie too to get us back in the game. Clearly thought he was a Chelsea player already.
