| Seeing Bellamy emotional at the start was a sign of things to come |
It was well and truly worth getting up early to watch Liverpool play Chelsea in the Carling Cup quarter-final. Chelsea must be seriously considering whether or not they need to offload their coach and a under performing Torres. On the other hand though Liverpool must be on a high with the form of Bellamy, who though was obviously distressed before the game started, performed superbly in what I considered a man of the match performance. Add to that the fact Suarez was not needed and got a well earned rest, Liverpool are getting closer to earning a piece of silverware this season.
Liverpool are looking much more stable all over the field and their calmness under pressure in defense reminded me of how Brisbane Roar are playing. The only thing not working quite right at the moment is the man who seems to be so popular and that is Andy Carroll. I have seen the potential and we all now he has ability but at times he seems petulant, rash and then suddenly has a burst of skill. Without Suarez in attack he seems to be inefficient in attack and easily held at bay. For Liverpool to really start climbing back up the order they need Carroll to start repaying the faith and find some consistent form.
A 2-0 defeat of Chelsea on their home soil is always great to watch but for me the best thing was when the home ground fell silent after the first goal and from that moment on were drowned out by the Liverpool faithfull and with ten minutes remaining seeing the Chelsea fans start streaming out.
