Too bad Terry can't face him now that he's injured.

That will be a certain.
We just lack the finishing touch.
It has been a great half, with Mikel anchoring the midfield, we just need a tick from Anelka.

Simply it's not our day.
But Liverpool played well to get the 3 points.

Totally agree with Acey's.

We lost to a team that showed us their title credential, and Liverpool could be the team to be stopped this year. They have been good, and greater in today match. To come to the bridge and get maximum points ain't easy stuff, it takes courage and confidence! And Liverpool is a complete team today! they have beaten Man Utd, Chelsea. So next match against Arsenal will be an early indication of their ability.

Back to our side, I always doubt about our attacking ability. Games after games Anelka proves to us that he is not the type of striker that can hold up the defenders alone. He has been anonymous this noon and to be fair, I think we played with 10 men today.

Di Santo on the other hand is good, but he needs more games for experience, he certainly lacks it.

What a waste from Ashley Cole, it would have made him into instant hero of he nicked in the goal.

But it's history now and most importantly is to hold your chin up and look forward.

We need more attacking options as pointed out.

Wonder who will be the missing link in our attacking line apart from DD...
We somehow need someone who can hold the ball for midfielders to offer alternative attacking option.

The worst on the field IMO is Kalou. He lost many balls and missed shots, not the Kalou we saw in the Man Utd game!

Sadly Ballack is aging and well passed his peak. Somehow he can't find his best in Stamford Bridge, but Scolari might get the best out of him.

Kenyon: I will stick to Di Santo! He is a great player and I don't see why we need to sign another striker in for Chelsea? Oh, we have Sahar as well!

I disagree that they fought well.
They deserve the praise for holding such a proud unbeaten home run but not the praise for the way they dictate the game.
We could have lost by a bigger margin had the Alonso shot bounce into the net.
This is simply not the kind of performance expected from a great team, but I expect the Blues to bounce back.

2 points from becoming the Champion + goal difference. *SOB*

Di Santo is good, I can see talent beneath him, but at the end of the day, he is still a kid.
Sometimes, experiences do count in deciding a game.

And how many times we need to tell LFS that Anelka isn't suitable for the lone striker role?

Who knows, LFS may pair Santo and Anelka? We shall see.

Of course Kalou is better, but don't you think he is inconsistent?
See how he performed against Liverpool and you will sum up he was worst than Wrightly, in that single match.

I wonder why Astro seems to favour Man Utd...

Didn't manage to wake up to watch the game but from what I read, it was indeed a great game from our boys! Well, LFS still stick with lone striker but at least Anelka scored to divert some attention from him. Lamps scored a great goal as well?

It can't be luck when you have beaten Arsenal, Fulham, West Ham and Tottenham. Luck, anyone?

I think it's better to use 'bounce-back' instead.
Comeback is when you are trailing but emerge victorious.

I saw Coley hurt as well!Any news on this?

Don't think it as that, it is a past.
Though we missed out on him, we still manage to crawl to the top of the table and credit to the boys who have strong fighting spirit.
The biggest lost IMO is Robinho himself, to be performing for an under-performing team, I wonder how long he will stay there?

Roma have nothing to lose now and my bet is they will go all out to score an early goal to contain Chelsea threat.
That's an advantage to us as we can sit back and counter when possible, though still expect LFS to play more attacking minded football again.
