Liverpool-Chelsea: 2-0, Anfield, 1st of Feb ‘09

These days it’s common, you show your cleats blades to ref and straight away he will flash a ticket to the stands. Poor Lampard, though he had a clean tackle on the ball but ref got it all wrong and off he goes. Pity these uncooked decision kills all the drama and energy that a mega Sunday clash has to offer.

It’s hard to gulp down the fact as what difference it could have made if Lampard had stayed all through out. Right from the start the Merseysiders were bombing the Chelsea half like anything. It looked like Liverpool was going to break the lock at any moment. The complete game was dominated by them before that sent off took place.

But what if Lampard had stayed? Tell you what those trademark deflected Franky goals could have saved Chelsea from getting humbled at Anfield. It was highly likely that this game could have been converged to a draw. Before that sent off, the game could have given a four point cushion to United with a game in their hand. But ref got it all wrong, pity he gave that bad decision against Chelsea. It could have been the case, Alonso pocketing a yellow card but sorry Franky these days you are not reckoned to show the wrong side of your boot to ref.
