Chelsea Fall At Liverpool's Mighty Studs

Anfield was ablaze with sounds of triumph and jubilation after they scored twice in the opening twenty minutes of the match.

A goal from Dirk Kuyt and another spectacular shot from pennant deflated all of Chelsea's hopes that they would repeat what they did last season by beating Liverpool.

Chelsea did not play at all like the champions they are, oh sorry, the champions they were. The only thing that might have given hope to Chelsea's adoring fans was Peter Cech.

He made his first appearance in the first eleven after the knock he received last year when Chelsea visited Reading. Apparently he could not remember playing the game but could only remember shaking hands with the Reading players before the game.

I would however like to point out that although Micheal Essien is trying he cannot replace John Terry as a center back. If Terry would have played in the game, he might have stopped the first goal from Dirk Kuyt.

What Chelsea need urgently is a good and solid defense to stop them from conceding any more goals. This will in turn bring Essien back to his usual spot where he is most dangerous.

Without Essien, the Chelsea midfield does not look menacing at all. In fact they don’t provide the strikers with as much balls that are needed upfront in order to score as much goals that are needed.

Other top-flight clubs should also dread at the fact that Peter Cech is back. Even though it will take him some time to get his form back, when he does it will for sure spell problems for all opposing strikers.

Mourinho should also consider starting with two usual strikers at all games so that they can get used to playing together upfront. He can then consider making substitutions after that.

He has all the talent that he needs but he just has to figure out a way of utilizing it to its full potential. I have faith in the man. If Chelsea would have gone to Anfield with the above things in check, they would have annihilated Liverpool.

If at all a bunch of youngsters did it, then they should have at the least beaten Liverpool 10-2. Last but not least, team spirit should be at the top of their agenda.

If Mourinho works on these things, Chelsea would re-define the English Premiership as they did so last season and the season before that. I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt they would do exploits.
