Liverpool vs Chelsea Match Thread

[Best Believe It]

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.

I disagree. We aren't top of the league because everyone else has been shite. We're there because we've been the best team in the league this season. Well strengthen in the summer, have a better team and better squad. There's no reason to think we won't be up here again next year. I don't care how much other teams spend, we'll still be fucking ace.

With that defeatist attitude you'll be first up against the wall when the revolution comes.

I really wish someone would put Silver Sean out his misery.

Jesus fucking Christ.

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.

But we didn't lose because we attacked. We lost because Gerrard made a massive cock up.

That could've happened no matter how patient we'd been.

Oh right. So Gerrard making a massive cock up in 90 minutes made it impossible for the team to score any goals. I see. I wish there was a chalk board illustrating that.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[Whaddapie]

Fuck me, some of you don't deserve a successful team...

 

[Gary25]

Not one for making scapegoats but I'm of the opinion Sakho is a bit shit.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Hail Opiniok

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Damn you Gary and your quick edits.

 

[C/O]

I got you with something similar a few weeks ago, Sheik, you old fart

 

[Fabio]

Not one for making scapegoats but I'm of the opinion Sakho is a bit shit.

Why? What did he do wrong today?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Nothing

 

[Gary25]

Why? What did he do wrong today?

He was ok today but he just doesn't fill me with any confidence.
He's a bit clumsy and rash, for a big lad he doesn't appear to be very good in the air and his anticipation and timing looks off.

I dunno, I just have my doubts he'll be the backbone of our defence for years to come like alot of people think. Granted it's early days for him. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Fabio]

Nothing

That's what I thought.

Bizarre to say scapegoat then mention him.

I could name 8 other players before we got to him

 

[Silver Sean]

I really wish someone would put Silver Sean out his misery.

Jesus fucking Christ.

Me too

Sorry I thought you were saying we should be patient because we only needed a point. The logic of that is that we lost the point because of a lack of patience.

 

[OLD_Lewy]

I'm still fucking gutted, can we start an scm support group?

 

[King Binny]

oh you beauty ‏@natefc 10m
#LFC shot location yesterday. Nine shots from "Deep Center" (Six. One each from Allen, Suarez, and Flanagan too.). Liverpool took just 32 in the previous 35 matches.

He should have scored.

I've heard this all day. What's to say we won't get better next season and buy some quality players. We have just as much chance next season.

Cheer up macca...

One game at a time... you've been here before...it's alright... it's just a game...

Just looks like a lot of people in blue shoving each other around.

Eh? We did.

 

[mark1975]

Pretty much Macca!

 

[mark1975]

Eh? We did.

Is still don't think it was great that the ball was played to him in that position, we saw the same with Toure against WBA. But then you can argue that players of that calibre shouldn't be having momentary lapses in concentration like that, he slipped because he failed to control the ball. It happens though, there's no point dwelling on it. I just hope he gets over the "trying to hard" to rectify the mistake, for the next game. Back to shape, cohesion and confidence in winning.

 

[gkmacca]

He now has so much more time - or thinks he has so much more time - in his new position he's slower to move. I agree it wasn't a wise pass to him, but that's the kind go faffing about that we do, and other coaches have noted it.

Yeah, this is it, it's always a case of heart-in-mouth, we've gotten away with it so many times, it's a wonder we haven't fucked up more. It's great trying to ensure we keep hold of the ball, but half the time it ends up back to Mignolet, who boots it back to the opposition anyway!
