ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

Not open for further replies.
Liverpool began their game against Chelsea in April knowing that a draw would have maintained their advantage over Manchester City in the title race, but they slumped to a 2-0 defeat as Gerrard made the error that allowed Demba Ba to open the scoring just before half-time.

"It gave the title to City, as simple as that," Mourinho told reporters on Friday. "Liverpool, with a point in that match, would have been champions. Without it, they lost the title."

Chelsea had gone into the match with no real prospect of winning the league after a shock 2-1 loss at home to Sunderland the previous weekend, and Mourinho added: "It meant nothing to us.

He was asked whether Saturday's game would see a role reversal from April's fixture, with Liverpool forced to sit back against an assertive Chelsea.

"I don't know," he said. "Our intention is to win. Our intention is, when we have the ball, to score goals. When Liverpool have the ball, we have to try and stop them scoring. It's the ABC of football.

"Sometimes some people pretend to be clever or influence the opinion of others and say it's not the ABC of football, but it is. You have to try and score when you have the ball and stop them scoring. I've done this ever since I've been a coach, and will do until my last day."

Mourinho suggested Suarez's move to Barcelona should not necessarily be a negative for Liverpool in the long term, given the money they have spent.

That's a top quality wind up from Mourinho.

"It meant nothing to us".

Ha Ha Ha. Knife twisted.

He's teaching Brendan waffle waffle Rodgers the ABC of football. That you don't go out to just try not to lose.

They'll be livid.

I bet Jose's not the only manager in the PL who cant stand the bull Rodgers comes out with.

I saw a video of Gerrard's slip on my dinner today, and it has the funniest cartoon "slip" sound effect, followed by Tony Pulis laughing.

I spat me butty out with laughter, I have to say.

It's only a matter of time before it's part of those 'football's hilarious moments' dvds. Atm, it's still like a death in the family for the cult and no company is going to risk having their's and their family's throats cut by producing it. But a few years time it'll be getting guffawed at up and down th land and beyond...as you say, with blooper sound affects.

On another note, did you notice that on ITV's commentary on both Lille games, Origi was mentioned every single time he was in shot? Every single time.
