Meireles spoils Fernando Torres party
Fernando Torres Chelsea highly anticipated debut ended in disappointment for the club and players like Raul Meireles sealed a memorable victory for the Spanish, the former Liverpool team-mates.
Liverpool midfielder Meireles return home from close range after 68 minutes to take the game - and potentially any lingering title hopes - Blues, Big Spender.
It was a different story if Torres were silent for £ 5,000,000, with the most expensive player in British football history after 65 minutes. Torres received a strong reception when his name was called, with their new fans cheering and booing their previous announcement.
The game was a little over a minute when he got his first sight of goal from Liverpool, with a false passport from Maxi Rodriguez. The Spaniard made a couple of buttons on the edge of the area before arriving at the top, but it was too high on the ground.
See more nervous Liverpool, Dirk Kuyt giving away possession in midfield after passing under the animation Kelly Martin hit. Torres was when he saw the next ball, a little heavy and power under pressure from Steven Gerrard.
Torres partnership with Didier Drogba in attack was the role of Nicolas Anelka on the other, in distance, but the struggle against the French in order to create both in the first 15 minutes.
Jamie Carragher and Kuyt combined and the law does not apply to any method of rare Liverpool attack, but the Dutch were able to wait Meireles. It was an exciting time for Martin Skrtel, when Anelka almost steal the edge of the penalty area but the defender did well to hook Ashley Cole cross from the left.
Daniel Agger Torres floors, to the amusement of the difference if you try on the left flank again, but his shot was covered with Drogba. Torres then gave an overview of his touch when the ball deflected Frank Lampard set up a break and moments later had the opportunity to show his predatory instincts of eight meters.
It is based on the end of the transfer of Drogba, but Carragher saw mounted diving smother his shot. With 33 minutes played Liverpool in the head. After good work from Glen Johnson, Gerrard drilled the ball into the face of goal from Chelsea and Maxi at the far post. The Argentine striker fluffed his relationships with white and I saw the ball cannon off the crossbar.
If the absence of the first half of the quality described in the second and nervousness after the transfer of Torres, the slow start was a disappointment.
It took seven minutes for the first shot of note, Kuyt gave Johnson a chance to throw 20 meters, and still no backup was needed.
The guests began after the life force that Drogba and Anelka every street corner, while to test Reina. Torres will be a simple gift, and did not help his cause that when the ball fell into his hands, at least two former teammates on hand for release.
Kuyt had become difficult in the role of traditional Spanish striker, but just wait for Luis Suarez on the bench at Liverpool has had several explosive options in reserve. Chelsea, Carlo Ancelotti is very sensitive and is 65 minutes of play, completed a common place to send Torres Salomon Kalou.
The Reds took the lead shortly after, Gerrard to break the law and whip a ball in the center that did not Petr Cech Branislav Ivanovic at the meeting. The ball fell, but Kuyt Meireles was rewarded for its support races and hooked the ball safely.
Drogba tested Reina at the near post to save the game and Ancelotti two men tried to challenge his title and we hope also provided for handball in the Liverpool area with 10 minutes remaining.
Liverpool had chances on the counter, substitute Fabio Aurelio at home in the hammer near the post by Cech and design a chip for recording.
The blues has been the creation of more and more desperate in their attempts, the level and the first appearance of the new £ 20 million rookie David Luiz, but almost unnoticed. Ivanovic called for a penalty in stoppage time began, but the authorities were quite interested.
