Adam:, external Typical Liverpool. Quality + wastefulness = mediocrity.

Saidmadrid:, external Liverpool keeping a high pressure on Chelsea, more threatening and aggressive. Why do they not play like that more often?

Craig Walker:, external Game over Liverpool don't come back against Chelsea or Jose's teams simply don't have the tactical know how to beat Jose.

How are those back gardens looking? Here, Liverpool win a corner which skims off Martin Skrtel's head and drifts wide. Jordan Henderson almost releases Lazar Markovic with a cracking pass. But he can't bring it under control.

Worried you're missing all the action in the Championship? Don't be. No goals so far at Elland Road, where Leeds have started well against leaders Bournemouth or at the Riverside Stadium, where Patrick Bamford has gone close for Middlesbrough against Cardiff.

Liverpool's sprightly spell just before the goal is already starting to feel like a distant memory. Chelsea look happy to shake hands on a 1-0 win now and go home for the second leg. They're sitting in and seeing what the Reds have got.

Four Leaf Ent:, external Typical Liverpool. We have all the pressure then concede a silly penalty.

Hashim:, external Stonewall penalty. Clumsy and late from Can, who already looks in trouble defending Hazard.

James Lee:, external Surprised Mirallas didn't take that penalty.

Raheem Sterling gets behind John Terry but his touch takes him wide and the chance has gone. Chelsea sitting deep but leaving Eden Hazard well up the field on the left wing.

If ever there was a side built to contain a one-goal lead and hurt you on the counter it's this Chelsea side. Liverpool in trouble now. Do they come out and go for it? OR stay drilled and cautious?

"I think Eden Hazard bought that cleverly. There is contact and my first thought is it's clumsy. The referee was in a great position.

"Yes it is a penalty. Liverpool will feel it's soft but I can understand why it's been given and it's a great penalty."

It never, ever looked in any doubt. Eden Hazard steps up with a degree of confidence and plants it into the bottom corner. For the second night in a row on Merseyside a Belgian in blue takes a penalty kick. This time he finds the net.

Clumsy. It's very clumsy from Emre Can as he sticks his backside across the run of Eden Hazard and dumps him to the floor. A penalty at the Kop End.

"Liverpool will be pleased with their start. They have forced Chelsea to hurry at the back on a number of occasions as they have applied pressure and look the more convincing of the two sides going forward. In other news both sets of supporters have spent the first 15 minutes exchanging Steven Gerrard songs."

That's what he's al about! Cracking drive from Steven Gerrard, 30 yards out with a bucketload of dip and a side order of swerve, Thibaut Courtois has to backtrack and punch it over. Fine hit. Liverpool now firmly on top.

"Great idea by Coutinho. I thought he might have taken a touch to his left and whacked it but great work by Gary Cahill."

And Liverpool do keep the pressure on, Philippe Coutinho spins away from John Terry and lays the slide-rule pass into the run of Raheem Sterling, he's in but Gary Cahill toes it back to the keeper! Backpass? No chance. Good play though, and Anfield is aroused.

Excitement! Minor excitement, that's better. Jordan Henderson drives into the box but his pass is cut out before Alberto Moreno wins a corner. Well cleared by Diego Costa. Liverpool looking to build and apply some pressure.

"The only pattern of play is there is no pattern of play."

Bob: , externalChelsea are man-marking Sterling which is a good compliment to the lad! Liverpool must have something to take to the Bridge.

MJF:, external So begins the first of 10 consecutive crucial games for Liverpool; 5 league and 5 cup. This is where the season will be decided.

You're in luck, 'Britain's Best Back Gardens'* is just about to start, external on the other side. Whack that on, I'll let you know if anything happens.

*Not a made-up show...

A contender for dullest opening 10 minutes of the season so far. And don't forget, we've got two legs of this! Someone have a shot, a dribble, a tackle even?

"Branislav Ivanovic is the go-to man for Chelsea. He's nominally right-back but he's got acres of space. I remember he played that role against Manchester City last season and he scored the goal."
