Hope they win fuck all. Come on Madrid
You're probably joking but we might need to aim for that is right.
Its everyone, plus favourable circumstances and plenty of good luck.
Although if you want to apportion blame for yesterday I'm not sure what could be leveled at Rodgers.
Favourable circumstances like one of the best finishers in the world, a great manager and good tactics?
Depends on the resources available. If Stoke did it to avoid relegation then that's a different story altogether. I've no problem with that. It is however, a little rich to laud it as master class when Mourinho has a such a fine squad of players at his disposal.
*Hopes no one bites at Ross's thinly veiled dig at Rafa in his post*
They should be scrapping like loons , not particularly to qualify for the CL but to avoid the EL: a competition that brings the best part of fuck all in revenue, or attracting players but takes more out of you in resources and energy than the CL
Oh one thing I did enjoy from the game was Flanagan sowing it into Salah any chance he got. Salah didn't fancy the battle as the game progressed.
I also enjoyed Sterling's blistering acceleration to breeze past Salah in the first half. I'm all about technical players but I'm a sucker for a bit of pace every now and again.

City are just not the type of team to 100% win every one of their last few games. And this league won't be decided by a slip. There's been so many twists and turns this season, there's almost certain to be more. Take Lukaku for example. if Everton for example. He's going to be on fire v City.
I wasn't playing the blaming game. I'm still not playing it here.
I was talking about the credits for our fantastic season.
That was the context of my response, and you responded to that in your 1st sentence, with which I partially agree.
Only partially because you seem to be giving equal credits to everyone while for me Rodgers and Suarez deserve more credit than everyone else.
I hope that's a good twist. Not a fucking shit one like City dropping points, we drop points, and Chelsea emerging to steal it. It'd make me give up watching football.
Interesting article in the Guardian On-line on Mourniho's tactics for big games. Here's his 7 point plan :
1. The game is won by the team who commits fewer errors
2. Football favours whoever provokes more errors in the opposition
3. Away from home, instead of trying to be superior to the opposition, it's better to encourage their mnistakes
4. Whoever has the ball is more likely to make a mistake
5. Whoever renounces possession reduces the possibility of making a mistake
6. Whoever has the ball has fear
7. Whoever does not have it is therefore stronger.
That's not genius at work.

Bloody hell.... I was really p1$$ed of yesterday and turned me phone of till now and it still hurts....!
This place isn't going to cheer anyone up. You'd be better turning your phone of again
I was going to post this. I think it's from a book written about his time at Madrid.
That's close to what I'm thinking
Yep - it is.
I don't want to get all preachy & misty eyed about how football should be attacking.
It almost comes across as an inferiority complex - maybe because Mourinho never played the game he feels driven to be successful by winning by other means - strength, negative tactics, basically focusing on everything that you do without involving a ball.
It's not that we don't like him. Not at all. I'd love him to be consistent. But he consistently gave the ball away with sloppy passing when not under pressure. That's what enrages me about him.
Can you come back after you get married?
Carra and Neville on the game ... spot on:
Is it still a quiff if something that's posted has already been posted in 2 other threads today? Or does that fall under a new category, like cross-thread quiff or something?
A few interesting points from that analysis from Carra and Neville.
They feel Rodgers got his tactics wrong first half and second half. We were playing with naivety against a team obviously playing direct football.
We can't complain about time wasting as we've done it ourselves many times to our advantage.
Madrid changed their normal possession heavy style and tactically allowed Bayern to have 70% , in order to get the result in a big game.
Chelski have the 2nd most shots this season, and the 3rd most goals - not exactly mourinho defensive football
We had 21 shots from outside the box, and put in 29 crosses into the box considering we dont have a 'big man' playing up top

I know this is a controversial opinion, and not something we're used to hearing on here, but I think Gary Neville is a cunt and I'd like to see him crushed to death in a Victorian printing press.
