Football: Chelsea 1- 0 Liverpool: Sigh...

It's gonna be a long season ahead for Liverpool fans. Three wins in seven games, and not a single away win so far. Time may not be running out for Benitez just yet, but if he doesn't start winning away games soon, we're not gonna even qualfy for the Champion's League next season.

Last night, it was a passable defensive performance (with a good game by Carragher), but in attack, Liverpool were neutralised completely.

Benitez dropped Hamaan for Diao (who was useless), and put on Traore for Finnan. The minute I saw Traore on the pitch, I knew that was it. The fella may have potential, but he has the concentration of a pea-brained chicken, and sure enough within five minutes of me turning on the TV, I saw him make TWO mistakes IN FRONT OF GOAL.

To Chelsea's credit, Joe Cole's goal was brilliantly taken, but what was alarming for Liverpool was that they never looked like scoring after going behind. Which is sad. Xabi Alonso had an ok game, but he needs to practise taking free kicks and corners more, because he ballooned at least FOUR balls into the crowd from the EXACT SAME position.

Sigh... I still believe that Benitez needs time to mould his team, but come the transfer window in January, I hope he bloody SELLS Traore and Diao, and GET BETTER PLAYERS.
