Liverpool 0-2 Chelsea: In-game & post-match... thread

If Liverpool want to fill a 60,000 seater stadium they will do it even if we don't win the league providing the football is as attacking as it is today.
When Houlier was manager plenty of people complained about the style of play and you could hear a pin drop at Anfield .Not now the place has come alive again.
If you look at our managers over the last 54 years all have them have been true football men even Roy for all his faults was a football man.
Maureen is an accountant he understands all the numbers but he doesn't really understand what football means to people.

He's spot on.  People have short memories - we won a treble in 2001 thanks in part to being clever (or mind-numbingly defensive) when we needed to.

The Chelsea result was harsh.  If Stevie hadn't slipped then it almost certainly would have ended as a nil-niler. 

But like I said elsewhere - we're going to have to develop some form of plan B because next season the likes of Man City, Arsenal, Spurs, Everton etc are not going to be as expansive when they come to visit - and we will find a lot more teams even aim for a point at their own grounds against us.  Not to mention what will happen in the Champions League if we go there gung-ho.

It may have worked for Barcelona for a couple of years - but they had a slightly better set (and more experienced) set of players than we have.

I've read some comments from people saying that 'I'd hate to win the title playing like Chelsea'. Ridiculous statement and

1) It's a lie
2) Do they know nothing about Liverpool's history prior to January 2013
3) Chelsea do not play like that week in week out - they get the result they believe they require
4) We would be deliriously happy right now if we had played out a 0-0'er.

Absolutely bang on the money!!

F***ing con man Mourinho .

Chelsea: Petr Cech & John Terry return to training

Chelsea keeper Petr Cech and defender John Terry trained on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg against Atletico Madrid.
Cech's season was said to be over after he dislocated his shoulder in the first leg, while Terry injured his ankle in the 0-0 draw.

Eden Hazard (calf) and Samuel Eto'o (knee) were also fit enough to train.

Midfielders John Mikel Obi and Frank Lampard are suspended for the return leg at Stamford Bridge.
They both received their second yellow cards of the knockout stages at Atletico's Vicente Calderon stadium.

Blues coach Jose Mourinho said after the match in Spain that both Cech and Terry would miss the rest of the Premier League season, with the Portuguese stating that the defender would only feature again if his club reached the Champions League final on 24 May.

Captain Terry, along with Hazard and Eto'o, who both missed the first game, trained with the squad, while Cech took part in a collective warm-up before having a personalised drill.

When asked by Sky Sports News whether he was fit, the Czech keeper responded: "Of course."

The only thing that surprises me is that you are surprised he done it .

Even the timewasting from minute 1? (just asking, haven't seen our games that season)

Never saw a ref continually tapping his watch like that, not an indication that he was watching the minutes and recording time wasted, he was letting everyone know that the timepiece had stopped.

There is that ....

 

Im disgusted to have lost to him. They played it perfectly.

We were desperate to win and really should have been more patient even at 0-0. We draw the game and it was still in our hands.

I was gutted in 08/09 but if we lose the title on goal difference I'll crack up completely!

I was so gutted against the Gooners in May '89.
All we had to do at least was draw.
Sickener.

Same as.

A Chelsea fan has reported a possible racial incident to Kick It Out and to Liverpool. It involves racial abuse towards Demba Ba where somebody has supposedly called him a F****** N******.

The irony about this though is that the supporter who reported the incident has supposedly racially abused Raheem Sterling during the same match.

After the game a Liverpool fan on twitter (https://twitter.com/PhantomGoal) stated that an LFC fan in the main stand sat in front of him made racial remarks about both Ba and Raheem calling them both "F****** N******". I assume this is the incident you're talking about? Apparently the lad reported him to both the club and Kick it Out, he wasn't the perpetrator. Anyway, hope the c**t gets found, Scum shouldn't be allowed in the ground again.

I feel like I'm still that bitter that the only reason for watching that match again is to add up the time wasting.

Well I got to 5 minutes and thats the 3 minutes added on we got accounted for. So all the time the ref was tapping his watch was what exactly?

Sickener is right, i was out with my manc mate that night oh did he love that ,in fact since last sunday he has taken great pleasure at every oppurtunity to remind me of it, be like getting kicked in the bollox all over again ,not a nice thought ,trying to banish that kind of thinking and hoping they slip up ,in fact ive crossed so many things i woke up this morning in a figure of eight 

Where is that big ponytailed Geordie oaf when you need him

sitting at home thinking.....fvk you Liverpool i show you for not wanting me i'll score an own goal v city

Fair enough, a masterful defensive display by Mourhino (and even then, like the Gaffer said, it isn't difficult to coach)

It's the blatant time wasting from the first minute I despise

Please lock this thread. It's bad carma. 32 pages of mourning and despair.

 Defence wins you titles while offence wins you tickets.
How on earth the portugese wins both don't ask me i don't know.
