Glen Johnson, the former Chelsea defender, is the man of the hour.
Liverpool played a crucial away game over the weekend, playing Chelsea away at Stamford Bridge. It was crucial for the fact that Liverpool had not been playing at their best as of late, and my team the Reds desperately needed a game to show their mettle. Liverpool did not disappoint, stealing a victory in the 87th minute on a fantastic solo effort from Glen Johnson. It was especially great for me to have Johnson score a goal, as the defender is a former Chelsea man himself, so this really digs the dagger in deep. Chelsea will surely be regretting having let the England national go.
There's a link to the highlights and some more about Chelsea after the jump.
AVB may be holding up a new shirt if he doesn't pick things up.
While there is jubilance for Liverpool over a win against a top 4 side, Chelsea will be reeling from this. Not only is this a big loss for the Blues, but they have now lost two straight at home, and Andre Villas-Boas, the manager of Chelsea, is officially on the hot seat after this loss. AVB, as he has come to be referred, has started off this season with the worst start of any Chelsea manager under the current owners. If AVB doesn't come up with some results soon, he may find himself out in the cold by Christmas. Personally, I don't think he has been there long enough to decide whether he is fit for the job or not, but with notoriously impatient ownership above him, he must be feeling the pressure.
