[quote author=baby.me link=topic=581303.msg7482013#msg7482013 date=1294415215]From your description of her,she is an introvert. She is someone that prefers to stay indoors,procrastinate,and not ready to take any action on her own bc she is comfortable in her zone and not willing to make any mistake. But mark my words,such personality is the best with the right kind of push from a loved one. On the other hand,you are an extrovert who likes action,and from my experience,she is the right kind of person for you bc she will slow u down where u want to move too fast and you will push her on where she tends to be too slow. Be spantenous any time u are with her,encourage her to make more friends and hang out some time. There is a great personality under that cold/boring person. Cheers [/quote]You're GREAT! |
Omolola1:I have a whole lot of intelligent questions and topic to discuss with her but it wouldn't work out. rokiatu:I don't wanna be anyone's babysitter. deniyor:Thank brother, you really understand. thweraja10:Sex is not the issue, our sex life is GREAT!. Would I have to take her to the beach everyday or weekend? Onchedu:humm thweraja10:Tell me, what has romance got to do with someone being boring? I think you should read my post again. |
I've been with this girl for about six months. She is actually everything I looked for in a girl - gentle, lovely, igbo, intelligent, has a lovely diction, excellently dressed, neat, and rubs my back right. But she is not fun to be with! She is intelligent, and gets very good grades at school. But she does not say intelligent things! She only thinks about boring things, and has no interest in any half way intellectual discussion. Her favorite activity is just staying at home and lying in bed or watching Nollywood movies. I feel like we never really say or do anything worthwhile. Also, we never do anything really fun together, because of her lethargy. I like doing things like running, jogging, climbing, going through bars, visiting weird stuff, trying new things but with her, her lethargy just infects me and all I want to do is chill and watch TV. And she is the type of person that wants me to always do things with her, she expects a boyfriend and girlfriend to always spend time together. Basically, she wants to be my best friend, but is not able to intellectually interest me like my usual friends do! She is dependent, wants me to do everything in the relationship and when I ask her, all she tells me is that "You're the guy" and it just disgust me so much because I believe in two sided relationship whereby no one is to rely on the other to take a step first. If you're in the position to do anything in the relationship, just do what comes naturally and not wait for your partner. It's a confusing situation, what could I do? |
[b]Answer: The Muslim and Christian views of God have some similarities. Christians believe in one eternal God Who created the universe, and Muslims apply these attributes to Allah. Both view God as all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-present. A vital difference between the Islamic and Christian views of God is the biblical concept of the Trinity. In the Bible, God has revealed Himself as one God in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. While each Person of the Trinity is fully God, God is not three gods but three in one. God’s Son came in the form of man, a truth called the incarnation (Luke 1:30-35; John 1:14; Colossians 2:9; 1 John 4:1-3). The Lord Jesus Christ conquered the penalty and power of sin by dying on the cross (Romans 6:23). After rising from the dead, Jesus went back to heaven to be with His Father and sent the Holy Spirit to believers (Acts 1:8-11). One day, Christ will return to judge and rule (Acts 10:42, 43). Those who have trusted in the Lord Jesus will live with Him, but those who refuse to follow Him must be separated in hell from the holy God. “The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him” (John 3:35-36). Either Jesus bears the wrath of God for your sin on the cross or you bear the wrath of God for your sin in hell (1 Peter 2:24). The Trinity is essential to the Christian faith. Without the Trinity, there would be no incarnation of God’s Son in the Person of Jesus Christ. Without Jesus Christ, there would be no salvation from sin. Without salvation, sin would condemn all to an eternal hell. So, do Christians and Muslims worship the same God? A better question is, “Do Christians and Muslims both have a correct understanding of who God is?” To this question, the answer is definitely no. Because of crucial differences between the Christian and Muslim concepts of God, the two faiths cannot both be true. The biblical God alone addresses and solves the problem of sin by giving His Son. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son” (John 3:16-18).[/b] |
The tithe was a requirement of the law in which all Israelites were to give 10 percent of everything they earned and grew to the Tabernacle/Temple (Leviticus 27:30; Numbers 18:26; Deuteronomy 14:24; 2 Chronicles 31:5). In fact, the Old Testament Law required multiple tithes which would have pushed the total to around 23.3 percent, not the 10 percent which is generally considered the tithe amount today. Some understand the Old Testament tithe as a method of taxation to provide for the needs of the priests and Levites in the sacrificial system. The New Testament nowhere commands, or even recommends, that Christians submit to a legalistic tithe system. Paul states that believers should set aside a portion of their income in order to support the church (1 Corinthians 16:1-2). The New Testament nowhere designates a percentage of income a person should set aside, but only says it is to be “in keeping with income” (1 Corinthians 16:2). Some in the Christian church have taken the 10 percent figure from the Old Testament tithe and applied it as a “recommended minimum” for Christians in their giving. We are to give as we are able. Sometimes that means giving more than 10 percent; sometimes that may mean giving less. It all depends on the ability of the Christian and the needs of the church. Every Christian should diligently pray and seek God’s wisdom in the matter of participating in tithing and/or how much to give (James 1:5). Above all, all tithes and offerings should be given with pure motives and an attitude of worship to God and service to the body of Christ. “Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). |
God forbid! Caressing her body would be like doing it with wood. Coz due to the training she has undergone there won't be fat in her body like breast and buttocks. And in some aspect she would heartless a little and someday she might beat me up. So what's the point? She should marry a soldier like herself. |

Tues January 26 Molineux Kick-off: 19.45 GMT; TV: Motd highlights Good stat: 27- Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 27 games against promoted clubs. Bad Stat: 310 -Wolves have not scored in their last 310 minutes of League action. Probable teams Wolves: Hahnemann, Foley, Craddock, Mancienne, Ward, Henry, Milijas, Jarvis, Jones, Vokes, Doyle Injuries: Edwards, Keogh, Kightly (ankle), Maierhofer (hernia), Murray (knee) Liverpool: Liverpool: Reina, Insua, Skrtel, Carragher, Degen, Mascherano, Aquilani, Lucas, Riera, Gerrard Injuries: Benayoun (rib), El Zhar, Kelly (ankle), Johnson, Torres (knee) Referee: Peter Walton Matches: 19 Y42 R3 What they are saying Mick McCarthy: When Liverpool have no [Steven] Gerrard and [Fernando] Torres they play exactly the same way but not quite as well. But I watched them against Spurs last week and they performed very well. The team they put out that night was very solid and Dirk Kuyt, who got their two goals, was outstanding. To suggest that when Gerrard and Torres don’t play means they are any less than a top-four team would be barmy. Rafael Benítez: When you don’t have two important players like Gerrard and Torres, everyone has to stick together and work hard. The players have taken responsibility. Wolves work very hard and have a good mentality as a team, so I think it will be a tough game for us. But we have the challenge that we can be in the top four if we beat them. We had problems with injuries, late goals and beach balls. If you put everything together it could have made a big difference. Verdict: The possible return of Steven Gerrard will be a boost for Rafael Benítez, while Mick McCarthy is struggling to decide on his best side. Liverpool have the momentum after beating top-four contenders Spurs last week. Score: 0-2 |
In an exclusive interview with Liverpoolfc.tv, Roma captain Francesco Totti tells us why his former teammate, Alberto Aquilani, is destined to be one of the best midfielders in the world. I Giallorossi's talisman came through the same youth system as the Reds' new number 4 and is as well placed as anyone when it comes to knowing what makes the 25-year-old tick. Here he tells us - via Luca Fallica of RETE Sport - why he is convinced Aquilani will be an Anfield hit, how Kopites will soon be swooning over the 'rabona' and why he is certain to be a Barclays Premier League star. Liverpoolfc.tv: Liverpool fans have only seen glimpses of Alberto Aquilani so far. What can we expect from a player you have played so closely with? Francesco Totti: Alberto is an incredibly talented player, with great technique and an excellent understanding of the game. He also has a powerful shot with both feet – he really is a complete midfielder. He came through the Roma ranks like you did. Are you good friends? Yes, we are really good friends. We keep in touch even now that he has left us. How do you see him fitting into the Liverpool system? Alberto can play in any position in the middle of the park really, either a bit forward or a few steps behind. The advantage he has is that he really understands the game and has great vision - he is dynamic and can make the last pass or try to score himself. Here at Roma, with our 4-2-3-1 strategy, he was playing in front of the defence next to Daniele De Rossi or David Pizarro, but also as an attacking midfielder just off me. I think he can do very well in a 4-4-2 too. How would you describe him as a player. Is he up there with the best midfielders in the world? He is elegant and smart - these are his main characteristics. Potentially he is one of the best in the world. He has been unlucky with injuries so far but I believe he will do really well in England. Have you spoken to him much since he moved to Merseyside? Yes, of course. I asked him how it was going and he said he had settled in really well. He can't wait to start playing regularly. Has he said anything about learning Scouse? He didn't mention that really, I am sure his Roman - our dialect - is still much better! (laughs). But I know he is studying a lot to improve his English. Aquilani has had his troubles with injuries in the past. Do you expect him to put those behind him and play a key role in Liverpool's quest for honours this year? As I mentioned before, he hasn't been lucky in his career since all these injuries have stopped his growth. I am confident though, that he will be back at his best and prove all his worth at Liverpool. What is your favourite memory of Alberto's career at Roma? What would you say was his best match? Whenever Alberto had a chance to play for us he would take it and has always done well in big games. I remember the one in Madrid against Real, it was a memorable night. He hit the woodwork with a thunderous effort and 15 seconds later, Casillas deflected another one of his screamers. But that's not the only great display. Against AC Milan he did a delicious 'rabona' (his favourite move) and gave me the ball for our 2-1 win - look it up on the net! Reds fans will surely appreciate his dribbles and will discover what a great player he is. Do you expect him to make a big impact in the Barclays Premier League? How will he adapt to the pace here? Good players prove themselves wherever they go. Alberto will adapt to any type of football. Will he be a key player for Italy in the World Cup? I really hope he will be and I wish him good luck for that. You have played at Anfield before. Did you speak with him about the great atmosphere? Anfield is a great stadium; really exciting. Your fans are really warm. Even Riise told me about it and he said our supporters and yours are alike. How has former red John Arne Riise settled into life in Rome? Really well, the fans love him. He is a professional and his shot is so powerful. It's not easy to adapt to Italian football, but he tried his hardest and did it. What are your own personal memories of facing Liverpool in the Champions League and what did you make of the fans and the stadium's atmosphere? To be honest, my memories are not that good because Liverpool beat us in the 1984 Final and here in Rome many resent them for that. I also remember the game in 2002. The refereeing was quite controversial and Litmanen scored a very, very dubious penalty. Riise played a good game that night. Riise was also involved on another famous night against Italian opposition - the 2005 Champions League final. What did you make of that game? I was sad for Milan, but for a fan winning the Cup in that way must be incredible. Liverpool face a potential Matchday 6 winner-takes-all showdown with Fiorentina in the Champions League (if results go there way on Matchday 5). Who do you expect to qualify? The Viola are clearly favourites and Liverpool are going to have a really tough time especially after drawing against Lyon. The Reds' hopes could well rest with the likes of Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard, who have both recently been short-listed for the Ballon d'or. What are your views on the two players? I can only think about an Italian adjective to describe them both: grandissimi! As a striker yourself, where does Torres rank among the best in the world? Torres is absolutely one of the best in the world. He is so fast and sees the net like no other – a great striker indeed. I had a look at his Premier League scoring record - not bad at all! Andrea Dossena is another Italian international on our books. What have you made of his impact in England? Last year he scored famous goals against Real Madrid and Man United, He is a decent full-back, who can do well both attacking and defending. And finally, we know you are Roman born and breed but would you have liked to give it a go over here in England? Staying at Roma was my personal choice, one I took with my heart. I grew up playing for this club, the one I always supported. So thanks, but I am good here.

This season could be ours. We need to work really hard, though we've had bad games in the start. But we can make them all up. I'm a Liverpool Fan for good and bad times. I wonder why Benitez is not ready to use Aquilani, the guy is so excellent. He score goals of 30/35 yards, he strikes very well and can help Gerrard with the free kicks he his losing these days. Aquilani uses both legs and Gerrard shots can't come close to that of Aquilani.

Liverpool's summer signing Glen Johnson has said that despite his side's disappointing start to the new season the club's hopes of winning the Premier League title are far from over. Rafael Benitez's side suffered their second loss this term at the hands of Aston Villa this week, bringing an end to their 18 month unbeaten home run. Yet Johnson insists Liverpool’s chances of winning their first championship in 20 years hremain intact. "Obviously this is not the start to the season that we wanted but it's only the third game and there is a long way to go," said Johnson. "It's still the early part of the season so we are not going to beat ourselves up at the moment. "Of course, we'd like to have a few more points but it's not to be so we’ll just keep going." Currently sitting 10th in the league, Liverpool failed to clinch any points on the opening weekend of the new season after losing 2-1 to Harry Redknapp's new look Tottenham - a side Johnson said the 'Top Four' would be foolish to omit as genuine contenders. "I definitely believe that teams like Aston Villa and Tottenham and Man City will take points off the so called big four this season," he added. "That is good thing about the Premier League, anybody can beat everybody." Liverpool only lost two fixtures across their entire Premier League campaign last season and finished second, four points adrift of Manchester United. And despite the summer departures of Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa, 24-year-old Johnson is convinced Liverpool can get back on track, starting with an away clash at Bolton this weekend. "Bolton is a hard place to go next," said Johnson, "but hopefully we'll start there the way we started the second half against Villa by going at them from the first minute and get the three points." "After losing only two games throughout the whole of last season, we've now managed to lose two in the space of just 10 days. "It means that Liverpool have to adopt a positive mental outlook in every game from here on in. [We] were held to too many draws last season [and] the margin for error in the modern title race is so slim that draws are no use any more. "Manchester United won the Premier League title last season despite losing four matches and that's because they drew five fewer than Liverpool. "The three points for a win format means that a defeat – even a home defeat as desperately disappointing as last night's – is not as damaging as it might otherwise have been. "That's why I think it's far too early to be writing Liverpool off as credible title challengers as some people already appear to be doing." Johnson has also called on Liverpool supporters to get behind them and not lose faith. "At times like this supporters' influence can be vitally important," he continued. "They will be feeling low after last night – and they pay their hard earned money so are fully entitled to express their views. But if they keep the faith they can help the team come through a difficult spell."

Aston Villa midfielder Steve Sidwell is relishing the prospect of coming up against Steven Gerrard in the centre of the park when the Midlanders take on Liverpool at Anfield tonight. Sidwell believes Gerrard is in a 'league of his own' - but the Villa No.4 can't wait to pit his wits against the Reds' skipper. "Liverpool have got Stevie G, who is one of the biggest match winning players that there are in the Premier League at the moment" said Sidwell. "He is a match winner, he is in a league of his own, he's a fantastic talent and to have him as an English player as well for the country is fantastic. "To play against these players in the Premier League week in, week out is hard but you've just got to do your best. You've just got to try to match him in everything."

Rafa Benitez believes Pepe Reina will play an integral part in Liverpool's title bid this season - and has backed the 'complete goalkeeper' to once again claim his share of assists along the way. The Spaniard has enjoyed a fine start to the 2009-10 campaign and turned out a man of the match performance in the opening day clash with Tottenham Hotspur. Benitez feels Reina's excellent from has underlined his credentials as the best goalkeeper in the Barclays Premier League, and says the custodian's unique penchant for creating chances for the Reds' forward line also makes him something of an attacking threat. "Pepe is the best in the Premier League for me. He is the number one," said the boss. "He is good with the ball, good in possession and he is good at organising the defenders and so he can help them. He can also start the counter-attacks. He is the complete goalkeeper. "He is very important for us in attacking terms. He is a threat to defences because when you have Torres and Pepe together you know as a defender you cannot be watching the game. Pepe can give assists. "He works hard on his kicking and you can see how good he is. He has a very good mentality and is always joking so his teammates are happy with him. "When you talk about goalkeepers their job has changed. Before it was just being in the six-yard box saving shots. Now they have to be reading the game and the goalkeeper is now the sweeper. "It is not easy for him with Spain because Casillas is doing so well, but for the level Pepe is he could play for any other country." Benitez added: "A goalkeeper can win you the title definitely. When you are attacking all the time, he might have one save to make and that can be the difference. "The keeper is really a key player, think of Schmeichel and Van der Sar last season for Manchester United." Reina was largely unemployed in last Wednesday's comprehensive 4-0 victory over Stoke City at Anfield, though the 26-year-old did produce a fantastic flying save to thwart Rory Delap in the early stages of the second period. "We have fantastic keepers in England but at a top side like Liverpool it is very, very difficult because normally they are not involved in the game too much," continued Benitez. "To see Pepe at this level from the beginning of the season is really good for us. "He is a player who needs to be focused and concentrated because he has one or two saves to make in a game. "He started very well against Tottenham and the other day the save from Delap against Stoke was fantastic and he dealt very well with the throw-ins. "I think he was really good when we signed him but he now has more experience and knows exactly the style of English football. He is working hard with Xavi Valero (goalkeeping coach), he is more mature. "He has the same qualities, but because he is more mature he is relaxed and he can make better decisions."

Rafa Benitez believes Emiliano Insua's progress at Liverpool could soon earn him a call from Argentina boss Diego Maradona. The 20-year-old has started the season as first choice left-back at Anfield, though he can expect stiff competition from Andrea Dossena and the recuperating Fabio Aurelio as the campaign progresses. Insua's emergence hasn't escaped the attention of Maradona and his staff, according to Benitez. "Maradona is watching him and the Argentina staff are monitoring the situation because they know he's doing well," the manager told Liverpoolfc.tv. "I think in the future - I don't know how long but sooner rather than later - he will be with the national team." While Insua clearly has a great future in English football, Benitez has made the youngster no promises about his first-team position. With Aurelio expected back from a knee injury in the autumn and Dossena reaching full fitness after his Confederation Cup antics, the gaffer has plenty of options down the left. He said: "We knew he was a player with potential and he is improving. He already has some experience for his age and he's keen to learn. For us it's been a good addition and hopefully he'll continue playing well. "He has to compete with Aurelio, who is a player with real quality, and with Dossena, a player with experience who is working very hard and who plays for Italy. "He has to compete but he'll have his chances."

Glen Johnson admits he could hardly have expected a better start to his Liverpool career. The England full-back was the star of the show when Liverpool won 4-0 at Anfield against Stoke on Wednesday night. He scored on his home debut and helped to create two more in a devastating display of attacking full-back play down the right. And manager Rafael Benitez, Stoke boss Tony Pulis and Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard were lining up to praise Johnson, who turns 25 on Saturday. Even in defeat at Spurs last weekend Johnson was the Liverpool star turn, winning a penalty with a battling run into the box and attacking on the flank whenever the chance came along. Greenwich-born Johnson reckons his instant form is all down to the speed with which he has adapted to his new surroundings. He said: "It has been absolutely brilliant for me so far at Liverpool. The lads and everyone at the club have been fantastic. "It has been great for me and helped me to settle in here quickly, and that has shown in my performances already so I am delighted." "It was great to run out at Anfield, and to get the three points and keep a clean sheet made it a perfect night for me. "To score a goal made it even better. Obviously it was brilliant to score my first for Liverpool and to do it on my home debut was amazing, but the win was more important to get us out of the starting blocks. "It was great to be part of the home side here for a change. As an opponent the hairs stand up on the back of your neck when the fans at Anfield sing You'll Never Walk Alone, so to hear them singing it for you is very special. "At a club like Liverpool you don't want to lose any match, so to lose the first game of the season was disappointing. "But the lads showed great character to put that behind us and hopefully we can go on a good run now." Gerrard praised his England team-mate, saying: "We saw what Glen will offer this team with the run that won the penalty at Spurs. "He cut inside and left people for dead. He showed similar form against Stoke and was outstanding on the right for us." Stoke boss Pulis witnessed his side being pulled apart by Johnson's display and the partnership with Dirk Kuyt. Pulis said: "Johnson and Kuyt down the right caused us loads and loads of problems. They have great players all over the pitch. Not only (Fernando) Torres and Gerrard, who are world class. "(Yossi) Benayoun comes in off the left flank and does damage, and they attack you at every point." Benitez's decision to add an attacking full-back to his squad who could make an impact in tough home games where teams defend in depth was vindicated. The Spanish coach said: "We were looking for a player with quality going forward, to produce more chances from the wide areas. "We knew Johnson could score goals. From set-pieces he is dangerous, we initially worked with (Javier) Mascherano in that close-in position by the keeper at corners, but decided to change because Johnson was proving to be good in that role. "His goal was proof of that. He can give us something more on the right, he can play almost as a winger with good distribution when he goes forward. "And that allows Kuyt to move inside also to support Torres. Last season we had too many home draws, and that cost us. "I felt that an attacking full-back like Johnson would give us something extra, and his display underlined that view." Benitez also dismissed wild speculation that he was about to quit, with one radio chat show even saying that he had resigned during the afternoon and Sammy Lee was in charge. Speculative betting also helped create a situation that Benitez laughed off, saying: "I was told at Melwood (training ground) of the rumour. But that is the sort of thing that happens in this city sometimes. "But it is nonsense. I repeat that I have committed myself to this club, I decided to stay here for the staff, the fans and the players when I signed my new contract. Nothing has changed. My commitment is 100 per cent."

Roma defender John Arne Riise says Liverpool have not bought a like-for-like replacement for Xabi Alonso in Alberto Aquilani but believes the Italian will bring a greater goal threat and attacking intent to his former club’s midfield. Riise spent seven years at Anfield before moving to the Italian capital last summer and so is well placed to assess just what Aquilani will bring to Liverpool once he completes his £20 million transfer. The Norwegian is quick to disabuse Liverpool fans of the notion they have bought a direct replacement for Alonso, who joined Real Madrid this week after five years on Merseyside. Aquilani does not possess Alonso’s exquisite ability to pick a pass from deep within his own half but instead plays further up the pitch, eager to join attacks and will offer more goals than the Spaniard did. “When I first came to Roma, I didn’t know a thing about Aquilani,” said Riise, speaking to the Express newspaper. “I knew all about Francesco Totti, Daniele De Rossi and Philippe Mexes, of course, but Aquilani was the player who surprised me the most in my first months with what he could do. “He’s really good on the ball, with good passing, good movement, he works hard and is a good professional. “He likes to have the ball at his feet but not because he likes to dribble, he just wants to keep the team moving. He never stands still, he’s always on the run. “He certainly runs more than Xabi and is probably more dangerous in terms of getting in the box and trying to score goals. “When I came to Rome he was my neighbour and helped me out a lot. He’s a good friend. Liverpool will be getting a very good player.” Aquilani, 25, who came through the youth ranks at Roma, had a disjointed season last year, playing just 14 games after undergoing ankle surgery in May. His talent has never been in doubt but concerns persist over his robustness – something that will be tested to the full by his introduction to the hurly-burly of Premier League midfields. “There is an obvious difference between the Italian and English leagues,” said Riise. “Here it is more tactical whereas in England you’re playing 90 minutes up and down, up and down, and there is more emphasis on power and physical force. “But Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t all about physique and he has been the best player in the Premier League in recent seasons. “Everyone can adapt. It just takes time. The key is how long it takes. I was lucky. I fitted in quite quickly when I came from Monaco. “Alberto is someone who wants to make the most of his talent and wants to prove himself, so if Liverpool come in for you it is very hard to say no.” Aquilani’s ability to adapt will play a large part in whether or not Liverpool can mount another credible title challenge this season after coming so close last time around. “Last season I was so sure they would do it. They made a fantastic start but drew some games and United got stronger,” said Riise. “I really hope they can do it this time. Xabi and Alvaro Arbeloa leaving is a shame, but Glen Johnson is a brilliant signing. “All the Premier League games are shown on Sky Italia, and I managed to watch every Liverpool game last season. The club is in my heart. I had all my highlights at Liverpool. I still speak with Stevie [Gerrard] and Carra [Jamie Carragher], as well as Pepe Reina and Dirk Kuyt. “The first months for me at Roma were hard, learning a new language and settling in, but I am happy here and enjoying it. We can have a really good season and I hope Liverpool can, too.”

Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari admitted that Liverpool deserved their win against Chelsea at Anfield, but also revealed he felt the referee had made a mistake sending off Frank Lampard. Lampard saw red in the second half for a foul on Xabi Alonso and speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Scolari insisted the red card had changed the game. “I think the result it’s after what’s happened with Lampard. It’s normal because they have more possession, they have more quality, they arrive more in front of our goal, but until then no,” he said. Scolari then went on to reveal his side would be appealing the decision and insisted the referee had made a mistake. The Blues’ boss explained: “If it’s possible I want the referee to look at this situation on the television and maybe he will change the red card for Lampard because as I look on television it’s a foul for the other player [Alonso] not for Lampard.” The Brazilian also insisted that he could not understand why the referee had decided to brandish the red card: “No I don’t understand. But maybe now, after, when he looks on television at what’s happened, maybe he will understand he is wrong, he will change the red card and maybe in the next game Lampard can play.” After being reduced to 10 men, Chelsea struggled against a dominant Liverpool side who eventually prevailed courtesy of two late Fernando Torres goals. Scolari admitted that Liverpool had controlled the game and that they had deserved the win that takes them three points clear of the Blues in second place. “After this they are the owner of the pitch and they scored two goals,” he said before adding, “I think Liverpool are better than us, all of the game.” The defeat puts a serious dent in Chelsea’s title aspiration but Scolari insisted his players would not give up yet. He concluded: “We need to look again, we need to try again, because we have many games. But we are behind now, two clubs Manchester and Liverpool, and it’s more difficult than before but we need to fight until the last game.” |
