Live: Chelsea 0 - 0 Liverpool (Half Time)

It’s gone half time at Stamford Bridge and the scoreline will tell you the two sides are still deadlocked.

Peter Crouch has had an absolute string of chances but has failed to convert any of them so far. With the absence of Torres and Voronin, he’s going to need to up his game in the second half or work on providing more opportunities for the likes of Babel and Kuyt and Chelsea plot against Crouch for the second half.

Overall, Liverpool have been the stronger side in the first half, just about, but you can’t write off Chelsea by any means. They have been a bit less aggressive that you’d expect, both Joe Cole and Frank Lampard keeping an eye on their challenges as a booking for either writes them out of the League Cup Final.

Defensively, Liverpool have done well in shutting down the Chelsea attack but going forward I’d still like to see Kuyt coming out of that right position more and having a crack up front, seal up that goal drought of his.
