Yeah there was nothing we could have done it that game. Mourinho set up for a draw and didn't even bother counter-attacking just gambled on set pieces. They got the luck of the first goal and that played into their gameplan furthermore. Just one of those days.
Hey, shouldn't you be revising?
Yup, this.
They're an awful side and a serious waste of money and talent.
The first goal just before HT was crucial and came from bad luck.
But our performance was dull and 'uninspired' as they call it.
It was in our hands and now it's gone. C'est la vie, let's move on. 6 points to play for.
Why would anyone respect an opinion thats a load of bollocks? don't act all suprised that you have been called out on it, what else did you expect?
You coming on here right after the match spouting your 'Mourinho is a genius' line along with the other horseshit is a massive lack of self awarness and respect to proper supporters, pity there wasn't any ice skating on this time so you could have watched that instead of the match and spared us all this shite.
Agreed. Add to that the fact that our best player was far from his top form and our second best striket wss not fully fit.
Genius indeed.
That's killing football, so I just can't really see how he can be labeled genius.
'death by football' - the mourinho way.
Quite literally? You mean you actually had a shed full of cash which you bagged up and took down the bookies?
Not to praise Mourinho, far from it in fact, but he got it spot on today. He knew if he stuck 8 men in the box all game we'd likely not score. Anything else he got was a bonus. He couldn't legislate for the opener, though, so he's far from a genius. I have two issues with how he set up, though, despite him winning (from a neutral viewpoint).
He rested his team and came without the pressure of needing a win, why play the anti-football? Why not go for it and try to win? The league's gone anyway isn't it? I know he won like, but still...
And secondly, quite clearly, nobody should be lining up with that team in that manner, having spent hundreds of millions.

"Spot on"? Had we not conceded the Ba goal, the game would probably have ended goalless and what good would that have done the fucking cunt's title hopes? Lest anyone forgets, this could all still end in tears for the cunt, in spite of his mind games, and millions splurged on talent to play his putrid brand of football.
"Death of Football", more like.

fair enough he's won two battles against us but if he doesn't win the league then he's lost the war .
and even if he had played his strongest 11 he probably would have used the same tactics .

He is not stupid is he ? - he knows that despite having all that talent, he is not capable of making them play like we have been playing. If anything he is making them play like he knows best, which is to sit back and wait. As for out title chances - forget them now, the chance 'slipped' by along with SG 'slipping'.
I had great hopes that Crystal Palace would beat Man City or at least hold them, but having seen the first half - they are playing against City like West Brom did, which is 'I can't be arsed to try...'. Reckon Everton will do the same next week.

It's baby steps. If you don't yet have the imagination to counter a game plan as simplistic as Mourinho's, you copy it. Well, you don't copy it, but you pull back, get very patient, and regard one point as better than none as you work the ball around looking for openings. You don't just keep serving as a training ground test for the other team. The way we approached it just suggested we aren't good enough to win the title, nor will we be good enough to get through a Champions League group. You just have to respond to that sort of game with cool intelligence, not stupid crosses and wild long range shots.
Gerrard tried to force A LOT on the second half.
Feel like he needed someone like carra to out his arm round him and tell him not to dwell
There's truth in this imo.
That's the really disappointing thing today. The players lost their heads against a wholly predictable Chelsea template and Rodgers appeared not to do too much about it.
Sturridge was nowhere near fit either.
I love this. Go on then, what you your plan b have been?
While I agree with the point behind this, to be fair, the only reason they got a goal was through blind bloody luck. I don't think their goal was anything to do with the way we played. The second, maybe.
It isn't imagination that is lacking though you must just to some extent copy it. I think Barca would struggle against those tactics. and the Anti-Christ.
This is the only sentence I've seen Jason post that follows conventional grammatical rules. There must be something wrong!
There has been a shift in the force.
As unexpected as it was to be pushing for the title this season, we have just blown our best chance of winning the title for another 24 years. We will never overtake Citeh when they are allowed to flout the FFP rules, Chavs will spend even more to be even more fucking dull and effective, and the scum will be back to being a top four side next season too I imagine. Gutted to say it, but Arsenal and us scrapping for 4th again next season.
Oh give over you moany twonk. It's a loss and it's disappointing but it's hardly game over for the season. Let's wait and see huh!?
