"Liverpool will be pleased with their start. They have forced Chelsea to hurry at the back on a number of occasions as they have applied pressure and look the more convincing of the two sides going forward. In other news both sets of supporters have spent the first 15 minutes exchanging Steven Gerrard songs."

(BBC) Clumsy. It's very clumsy from Emre Can as he sticks his backside across the run of Eden Hazard and dumps him to the floor. A penalty at the Kop End.
....and the result?

"I think Eden Hazard bought that cleverly. There is contact and my first thought is it's clumsy. The referee was in a great position. Yes it is a penalty. Liverpool will feel it's soft but I can understand why it's been given and it's a great penalty."

If ever there was a side built to contain a one-goal lead and hurt you on the counter it's this Chelsea side. Liverpool in trouble now. Do they come out and go for it? OR stay drilled and cautious?

-Four Leaf Ent: Typical Liverpool. We have all the pressure then concede a silly penalty.
-Hashim: Stonewall penalty. Clumsy and late from Can, who already looks in trouble defending Hazard.
-James Lee: Surprised Mirallas didn't take that penalty.

Raheem Sterling gets behind John Terry but his touch takes him wide and the chance has gone. Chelsea sitting deep but leaving Eden Hazard well up the field on the left wing.

Liverpool's sprightly spell just before the goal is already starting to feel like a distant memory. Chelsea look happy to shake hands on a 1-0 win now and go home for the second leg. They're sitting in and seeing what the Reds have got.

How are those back gardens looking? Here, Liverpool win a corner which skims off Martin Skrtel's head and drifts wide. Jordan Henderson almost releases Lazar Markovic with a cracking pass. But he can't bring it under control.

The benefit of playing Emre Can in a back three is that when he steps out like a young Alan Hansen he can really motor on up the pitch. Can takes it all the way to the edge of the Chelsea box, and tries to pick out Raheem Sterling too. But the pass is just awry. Liverpool get full marks for effort so far, but do they look like hurting Chelsea? No.


*yells at the top of his lungs* C'mon, you Reds!!!

One punt downfield and Liverpool threaten to capitulate as Cesc Fabregas is in oceans of space. He looked suspiciously offside but he's waved on and finds Eden Hazard on the underlap. hazard inside, shoot? No. He weaves on and loses the ball. There's a goal on the break in Chelsea though.

"Liverpool were very fortunate. There was one Liverpool defender against two Chelsea forwards. Fortunately for Liverpool, Moreno just did enough to hold the play up and that let his team-mates come funnelling back."

"Liverpool still showing plenty of composure in their passing but Chelsea looking secure and the pace of Eden Hazard is a real threat to Brendan Rodgers' side. For all that possession, however, Liverpool not applying any serious pressure on Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois."

-Nicole Towler: As a Chelsea fan the commentary is scary! Liverpool keeping the pressure which is good for a losing side.
-Jonathan Liu: Liverpool are still very much in the game despite giving away a stupid penalty. They just need to keep up the high pressure.
-Blue, Green and Red: Can't see Liverpool getting through this semi-final matchup against Chelsea. The Blues look pretty comfortable at 1-0 up.

It's all getting scruffy and niggly, with more mistakes per minute than a courtroom scene in Broadchurch. Nobody can keep it as we tick toward the interval.
