Chelsea just a bit too fit, too strong in the first half. Liverpool had began to reassert control after the first goal but then the second came along and knocked them back. Really just seeing the thin squad and the injuries here - again, with Enrique in the squad the second is never getting to Oscar, let alone Eto'o, and of course Sturridge would give a completely different outlet.
Still, chances are certainly there against this defence. Also can't help but feel that Chelsea overdid the pressing in the first half and will tire badly, even with their subs (of which they now only have 2 having lost Ivanovic). But it will be very tricky to turn this into a win.
