Liverpool beat the Russians 2-0 today, two good goals by El Nino.
Chelsea played a poor game, but were treated unfairly, as i believe Lampard's sending off was never a red. Scolari has done Chelsea more damage than good, their defense looks vulnerable this season, under both Grant and Jose Chelsea had one of the toughest defensive lines in all of Europe.
Ferdinand normally stays back, and reads the game, thats his way of defending i see nothing wrong with that.
I believe you are underrating both Evra and Rio. The former being one of the top leftbacks in Europe, and is a better defender than he gets credit for, he leaves a lot of gaps behind, but when he's in position he's a tough defender to get past imo.
Rio is one of the best defenders in Europe, theres no doubting that if you ask me, he reads the game very well, he's a physical presence and is brilliant in the air. But Man Utd's defense isnt about individuals, imo Fergie has got them to be a very strong unit that is almost impossible to get past.

I agree that the red was harsh, especially considering the game and how he had been calling the fouls before. Liverpool deserved to win anyway, but that certainly helped us. Benayoun is making a strong case to start, Kuyt has really come down after his excellent start to the season
Now I'm putting on my Liverpool shirt and going to play some football!
with the same chelsea fan I watched the match with, i'll have to watch my ankles
