Gerrard Challenges Drogba
It was a good result, though it would have been better if it was a scoring draw. That would mean Pool would have walked away from Stamford Bridge with away goal/goals.
Rafael Benitez played a cautious game, they didn't want to allow Chelsea to score as that would mean they have to overcome the first-leg lead at Anfield. Once again, Carragher, Hyypia & Traore were outstanding in defence. Finnan did a decent job as well. Midfield was orchestrated by Alonso, Gerrard, Garcia, Riise & Biscan. Baros was the lone striker due to Rafa's defensive approach.
Alonso Misses 2nd leg at Anfield
The only disappointment would be booking of Alonso by referre Sars. That was NO foul, surely he knows that now having watched the replays of the foul. But it's not gonna change anything, Alonso will miss the 2nd-leg at Anfield. What a pity!
Hopefully Hamman can recover in time for the second leg. Otherwise, Rafa has a choice among Kewell, Smicer & Nunez.
In all, the 0 - 0 result was one the Kopite can be very proud of now!
