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

[DrEFC]

Buses don't score goals..

 

[caught]

It was Chelsea all along...

 

[ScouseBlueBoy]

For any Kopites reading this:

When you call people "scum", spit in their faces, send them death threats, sneer at their achievements, glory and gloat in their failures, it's not a good idea to ask them for favours.

What sort of person would do that?

 

[CrabbyPaddy]

And.... has he actually watched a Palace game this season?

I know, they've played fantastic football under Pulis. Ridiculously disrespectful what he said.

I've mentioned previously mate when he was Swansea manager he was [Poor language removed] full of himself until we went there and took the absolute piss and should have won by more ( this was the 2-0 win not the 3-0 win ) and they only won another couple of games after that. He comes out after games saying he played this formation then countered that 20 minutes in with a new diamond white formation blah blah blah he believes his own hype the bellend.

I'll never forget that mate, was brilliant. I hate the way the media and that tit make out that they're an attacking team. They literally play a back 6 and pump the ball to Coutinho, Sterling, Suarez and Sturridge. Even look how deep Gerrard was for the first Chelsea goal? He was the last man!

Yes they have attacking threats, but they keep a lot of players back as well. But sure, anyone else who does that is negative.

They were found out yesterday if they cant knock it over the top they don't score from open play and Chelsea were also well organised at set plays. Next season more teams will catch on and they'll revert to normal position 6th-8th.

Mourinho has taken on and destroyed Ferguson, Guardiola, Heynckes...outwitting Gerrard's fluffer was always a likelihood.

Fact is, Liverpool are much more easily contained by playing deep. They still have a window of opportunity to win this league, but next season more teams are going to safeguard against leaving space for them (and they'll find it impossible to juggle more games and less preparation time countering that).

since when???

Yep, they tried to so simila

I've said for ages that's exactly how everyone should have been playing them at the pit. Villa got it absolutely spot on for an hour until a dubious pen was given. Sit back and counter them. Its a lot harder to pop super threaded balls to the front two when there's no space. Give them space and the front two will destroy most sides but stifle them and they look like a bang average side. I hope Palace do exactly the same and finish their little bubble of hope once and for all for the season.

since when???

Since when? Since he got into Guardiola's head at Inter and masterminded their CL SF win over them and then seen Guardiola off in La Liga with Madrid; and since Mourinho's Inter run riot against Heyncke's Bayern in the CL final.

 

[Kurt.]

I don't understand all the media debate going on about this...... Chelsea were going to the home ground of the team at the top of the league and have been scoring for fun, they had half of their first 11 out injured. Liverpool have a world class strike force ths season..... What kind of bellend manager would go there with half a team and go all out attack ? Rodgers was shown up yesterday, he had no idea how to change the game and just continued playing the same way throughout the 90 mins..... He has no plan B.... It was ace to watch Stevie g laa shooting from 30 yards out over and over again because they had run out of ideas, Chelsea and Jose played this game perfectly.

 

[Allezfan]

since when???

Beat guardioila to a la liga title and in a cope del rey final as well knocking them out of a cl semi with Inter?

I think it was van gaal's bayern he beat in the final with inter not heynckes though.

 

[Jeff Jones]

That was a disgrace. 5 yards away from Flanagan and he had his hand outstretched. Penalty 100%. That was at 0-0 and it just goes to show that the opposition facing Liverpool are having to literally walk the ball into their net.

Anyone refusing to believe they aren't being forced toward the finishing line by officials need to wake up.

The TV commentator - forget who - thought a pen would've been harsh. I agreed until I saw it from a different
and closer angle. Clear penalty

wrong manager. That was Van Gaal... Heynckes Bayern beat him in the semi's.

Have you seen Mourinho's record v's Guardiola??? its woeful! Only 1 manager has destroyed the other in that contest..... and it isnt Jose

TBF, Guardiola came through the system at Barcelona and inherited a cracking team, tweaking it to become the best in Europe hands down. Mourinho went into Inter and Madrid in disarray and got them playing a certain way that countered the best team possibly ever and brought them down from the Gods to get on top of them. That, I believe, will be his legacy: his handling of a rampant Barcelona in their pomp at two different clubs.
