Cracking game and a great win to Chelsea. With a decent center forward we would be near unstoppable and clear leaders.

Should have been a penalty for Suarez, but he overplayed it and created doubt in Webbs mind(but then again Hazard had one missed too so it evened it's self out, maybe Karma for last year at Anfield).

Chelsea were good value for that win.
Liverpools squad depth is an issue for mine , and heavy reliance on Suarez.

Pretty defining loss for Liverpool IMO. Not that I saw it, but they've lost to Arsenal, us and now Chelsea. Their depth (as has been noted) is just a touch off, would be interesting if they were at full strength against the top three.

Either way, the title is probably a three team race.

Im not sure. I doubt that would have been called a foul anywhere else on the pitch. They miss that type of block all the time. Actually without the ball would it not be an indirect FK in the box at worst?

From FIFA rules.

An indirect free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if, in the opinion of the referee, a player:

plays in a dangerous manner
impedes the progress of an opponent

So could come under it. You'll never see a penalty for that IMO.

Liverpool fans bring up this point so often. Funny that Chelsea are in a very similar situation and much more experienced at winning things.

I hadnt seen an indirect free kick awarded for so long (years) that I thought they didnt exist any more. I saw someone get one earlier in the year.

We've set ourselves up nicely for the second half of the year.

Yeah you guys were playing pretty poorly for a while there but still winning games. Cant ask for much more than that.

Yep, thats what good teams do. Just need to sign a CM in January and I'll be content for the rest of the season.

Cracking win for the Blues. Happy days.

Mata cracked the shits when being replaced, but then Oscar showed him why he's José's number 1 number 10.
