I'd rather have Liverpoo win cause I told everyone at school they would, but I don't really give a damn, gives City a better chance at victory

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 08:40 PM

Damn I wanted the poo to win.

Lampard's shot takes a deflection on its way into the Liverpool net
Chelsea booked a place in the Carling Cup semi-finals by beating a Liverpool side who had Peter Crouch red-carded.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:54 PM

Both sides had missed gilt-edged chances in a tight first half with Chelsea's Frank Lampard and Liverpool's Lucas Leiva having shots saved.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:55 PM

But Lampard atoned for his error when his strike was deflected in off Jamie Carragher before Crouch saw red for a reckless tackle on Mikel John-Obi.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:55 PM

The match had started off like most between these two in recent times as both sides quickly closed each other down with space and time at a premium.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:55 PM

Liverpool's strategy saw them sit back and challenge Chelsea to find a way through, while hoping to catch their rivals on the counter-attack.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:55 PM

What are your thoughts on the game?

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:55 PM

They survived a scare when keeper Charles Itandje pushed a Salomon Kalou shot wide before almost succeeding with a goal on the break.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:55 PM

Ryan Babel surged towards Chelsea's goal but took too much time to pick out a team-mate and his pull-back was blocked.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:55 PM

But there were signs of the match having more of an attacking edge as the first half progressed and Lampard should have put the home side ahead after 25 minutes.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:55 PM

Lampard was inadvertently put clean through on the Reds goal by Alvaro Arbeloa and seemed set to score only for Itandje to stand tall and block his shot as he tried to dink it in.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:55 PM

Almost immediately, a one-touch passing move on the edge of the Chelsea box gave Lucas a clean sight of goal and his angled shot was well saved by keeper Petr Cech.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:55 PM

Liverpool striker Peter Crouch is sent-off in his side's defeat at Chelsea
Crouch was shown red for his challenge on Mikel

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:55 PM

The game quickly reverted to type and the rest of the opening half was a cagey affair with just a Michael Essien strike, which flashed wide, a rare threat on goal.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:55 PM

Essien again went close after the break when a similarly sweetly-struck effort was palmed round the post by Itandje.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:55 PM

Cech came to his side's rescue at the other end after Ricardo Carvalho's tame back header let in Crouch.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:55 PM

The Reds striker tried to chip Cech but the keeper managed to get enough of a touch to stop the ball going in and allow his backtracking defenders to clear.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:56 PM

It proved a vital miss as Shevchenko slipped Lampard in on goal and his shot was deflected in off Carragher.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:56 PM

The Reds suffered another setback before they could regroup as Crouch was sent-off for a reckless challenge on Mikel.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:56 PM

The lanky striker lunged two-footed at the Chelsea midfielder and referee Martin Atkinson had little hesitation in brandishing his red card.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:56 PM

Liverpool carried little threat with 10 men as Chelsea comfortably closed out the game.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:56 PM

Shevchenko sealed the win with his late goal as he powered in a shot from an acute angle after a pass by substitute Michael Ballack.

Freddy Adu · 12-19-2007, 09:56 PM

Chelsea: Cech, Bridge, Carvalho, Belletti, Ben-Haim, Essien, Obi (Ballack 68), Lampard, Kalou, Shevchenko (Sidwell 90), Sinclair (Joe Cole 57).
