a nice win for the last game of 2012 at Anfield.

I hate to say I told you so, but I did bloody tell ya

Poor Meireles. I guess the Turkish FA will have to impress cultural classes on all foreign players as well now.

Didn't I tell u that floodgates would open?

No Joe Allen aka WELSH XAVI = biggest and most convincing league victory under br. FACT!

Without Allen we played so well in Midfield.

We are at number 8 now, win 2 more games during Xmas we shall stay at 7 ( suarez number )

Is it the first time Allen does not start since the season start?

Allen like to pass to opponent in MF.

Allen cannot defend well.

Lucas is so much better than him.

Arghh.. missed the match..

note to self, do not take a 'nap' if the game is an hour away

played like that more often and we might get 12m for downing

dont think sturridge will be good fit for us..
he is bolot and shoot on sight when he get the chance....
exactly not the kind of player you want in passing and teamwork type of team.

Now BR said he wants Downing to keep playing like that and he doesnt want him to leave.

He's suddenly a $20mil player.

If BR can get the best out of Sterling, Suso, Enrique, Johnson and now Downing, I trust that he will do the same with Daniel Sturridge and Tom Ince. They will benefit massively under his guidance.

Speedy Daniel has an ego. It'll be crushed to pieces upon his entry to Melwood and we'll see the best of him.

that drowning assist.
5 points away from 3rd spot!!

Sturridge's joining us....how come I dont feel the excitement and anticipation like others or It is just me ?

So many Chelsea fans have posted articles after articles about why they think Daniel Sturridge is a much more exciting player than Fernando Torres.

Of course many people here are not in favor of him. I trust that BR knows who he wants and why he wants him.

if BR said he want to keep downing that means he'll sell him..remember andy carroll?..haha

One game, Fulham, played well, without Allen and he's the culprit all these while?

What about Sterling? He did not play as well no? Why not him?

Downing played on the right wing! He must be the key!

And when we were up against Aston Villa, if we put goals aside, did we really play that badly?

Defensively yes. The difference yesterday was how we work to try to cut them out higher up the pitch and we use bodies to block any shooting attempt Berba and his gang may want to set up leaving them with no room. They made mistakes after mistakes with quick passes and panic at the back with sloppy passes which we took advantage of.

Of course the finishing was more clinical and ruthless. The quick movement also open up the spaces.

If I have to be analytical, didn't Lucas play much better last night? And Not forgetting, Skrtel and Agger clicked well? Oh and Downing no longer playing as a left back last night?

Plenty of reasons, the Allen = the reason we haven't been good is getting annoying really.

Gerrard played well as well last night so is it possible that the reason we played well was that we were playing Fulham?
