JT: Reds are a two-man team

Chelsea captain John Terry has taken a swipe at Liverpool, claiming that unlike the Blues the Merseysiders are a two-man team. "When Gerrard and Torres get injured they seem to be very short in the squad they've got," said Terry. The central defender also claimed that Chelsea have far more depth than the Reds. "We're very fortunate at Chelsea. Since Roman Abramovich came we have had a lot of strength in depth in the squad, like with Salomon Kalou scoring twice against Atletico with Didier Drogba being out. People said we would struggle without Didier but we didn't. If you take Torres out of their team, who do they bring in? It's difficult." Liverpool have lost their last four matches and currently lie six points behind Chelsea, and seven points behind leaders Manchester United in the title race. Chelsea play Blackburn on Saturday, while Liverpool take on United on Sunday.
