What a game, massive credit Liverpool for what will go down as a 'classic'. I don't even think 4-4 tells the full story.
Credit Hiddink, his HT teamtalk, credit him for a massively bold tactical substitution too, taking Kalou off after 35 mins and replacing him with Anelka who playing out of position had a hand in two of the four Chelsea goals, nobody has mentioned this, I thought that was a masterstroke.
Drogba was immense, absolutely immense. Sure, he stays down a bit, but Torres aside, there's no better forward in World Football when he does that, he'll just get slated from fans for the other side of his game, but he won Chelsea the game tonight, amazing.
I can't quite believe what I watched, 6-3 it was over, 6-5 within mins it wasn't, just madness.
On the Cech 'finished' thing, I know he had a mere tonight, but he was excellent last Wednesday, he came and claimed everything, and made a couple of vital saves at Anfield, although there's something not quite right with him.
See Rafa at the end, angrym having a go at Hiddink. What was up with him ? Not happy with Drogba, he was fuming...
