With Man City beating West Ham, they are now joint top leaders with Arsenal. If we lose to Spurs and Man United draw with Arsenal, then the top 5 are separated by only 4 points! This season is driving me nuts!

No I didn't watch the game.
I think you're being incredibly harsh towards Lucas. He isn't a dynamic, spectacular, headline-grabbing player, but he is a very good player nonetheless. It isn't a coincidence that he's always available for a pass, and always gets the ball. It's because his positioning is very good and he can read the game incredibly well. He was a Gremio starter as a teenager, and captain at around 20, he moved to Liverpool and has played regular football for the past two seasons under two different managers. He is also a starter for Brazil. He wouldn't have got so far in his career if he wasn't talented!

I think lucas played a decent game. It might not have been his best, but certainly not his worst. I would say torres and babel were rather off colour in my opinion. If Meireles and lucas can strike up a wonderful parnership then liverpool can deploy gerrad in a more attacking role.

Enjoy losing to, what was it......a low profile team. Nice reality check for you there mate
Raul Meireles has really been our best player ever since Gerrard got injured. He carried the game entirely for Liverpool by his own self. Johnson was much better than his previous performances but the thing i hate in him is his delay to cross the ball into the D-Box . He is more concerned of his dribbling skills
And I think Roy has been really harsh on Jovanovic . DOnt know why he would play Maxi up there instead of this boy . Maxi has no physical strength , loses the ball regularly , makes clumsy challenges . On the contrary , Jova is one of the strongest fellas in Liverpool, his dribbling skills are superb , so are his passes . Wake up Roy or face the axe
Tell me honestly if you guys even deserved a point from that game. Liverpool thoroughly dominated both halves. Its just that we didn't take our chances and you guys did . That made the difference .And not to forget your first goal was offside . Sometimes the game of football can be really harsh . Its been two away games in a row where we have deserved to claim atleast a point but ended up with none. You guys really resemble the Pakistan cricket team. On a given day , you can beat anyone and at the same time lose to anyone as well

FFS Liverpool, I've got my local side Sydney FC tweaking up enough without me having to worry about your ████ performances. I'd like you to just be more consistent please Liverpool, so I can sit back and enjoy watching one of my football teams for once this season.
How frustrating! Had a chance to win the game but thanks to Drogba's poor penalty, we have to settle for a 1-1 draw. Why on earth he shoots to his right when his main targets this season have been his left this season? Even then there was no pace or real power to this penalty.
Having said that, a draw is not such a bad result. At least we improved vastly from recent performances, kept Bale reasonably quiet and did not get thrash! Overall, it was a cracking game and hope this is a step in the right direction but for now, we have to settle in 4th!
And oh, great to see Lampard back.

To be fair to Drogba, it was thanks to him that Chelsea came back into the game. He scored the goal, he won the header for the penalty, and it was because of him that Chelsea changed their shape and therefore were more threatening. With Drogba on, they had a genuine target man to aim for, and Anelka was playing crap. Also they changed a 4-4-2/lop sided 4-3-3 and this meant that with Mikel and Essien in the centre, one of the Spurs forwards couldn't really drop deep to pick the deepest man and therefore Spurs looked disjointed and Chelsea were able to finally hold possession.
