I'm not saying we lost without him as an excuse, I was just saying that he was sorely missed

I agree, Torres isn't an excuse. Games like today happen and you just have to live with it unfortunately. Liverpool haven't been winning comfortably as such and it was always going to bite them back at some point

Your goal difference is less than your games played.

That alone just shows you don't win games comfotably.

Liverpool beat Chelsea by a fluke deflected goal,and against the run of play. Their luck has started to run out,and they will end the season with nothing.Manure and Chelski will win it all

Clearly as a red, I'm disappointed. We lacked a killer instinct today, but let's face it... the way we've been playing lately and picking up results late on, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Personally, I would have liked to have stayed top for longer, but after 11 games we have 26 points and are second only on goal difference without hitting anywhere near top gear so that is a positive.

I usually like to say nothing about Rafa and his 'tinkering' or decisions, but I do think he made two bad substitutions tonight - Babel on for Keane and Benayoun on for Reira. Why take off two of the hardest working players in the team for two players who rarely, if ever, track back, when leading 1-0 away from home against a good side? (spurs are a good side no matter what anybody says). Keane and Reira were both rested in mid-week against Pompey too so tiredness can't be used as a reason. I just think he got it wrong with his subs tonight.

And just a quick word to the select few (and I stress the select few) who came on to say "haha told you you'd be out of it by Christmas" or "now you'll fall back down the table" or "time for Liverpool's yearly slump" etc etc. You're very quick to forget aren't you? After the Chelsea game, the amount of people saying "There are 38 games in a season... nothing's won or lost in October" - well you'd do well to remember that.

I think it's important we bounce back against Atletico, but EVEN MORE important that we get a good result against West Brom, and by good I don't mean a 1-0 in the last 10 mins, although obviously I'd take it. I'd like to see us be incisive, continue to press well, pass the ball neatly, but most importantly - take our chances and run out comfortable winners which so far this season we've only managed a few times.

Yeah Torresmeric,sure you would take 1-0 in extra time,because thats what you usually get.
Keep on throwing everyone forward in a panic in the last 10 minutes and you will be caught on the break by any half decent team,which is what Chelsea should have done last week

throbbly - extra time isn't played in league games, injury time is. And I was simply referring to the last 10 minutes of the game, not including injury time i.e. 80-90 mins. Are you telling me you wouldn't take a 1-0 in the last 10 minutes for whichever team you support?
