I was going to bet on them the other day when they were 33/1. Ridiculous odds.
Only reason I never was because I thought the officials would hand it to Liverpool.

Lampard said they did it twice. Definitely once, dont remember the other time.
thats nonsense mate, he is the first manager that has had a proper look at that liverpool side and know that if you dent them space behind to counter attack they really are not all that, he worked them out and has set the blueprint, that should have been set by some very well paid managers, including our own, long before this game

yep, winning the 'right way', it's what they do.
dont blame them one bit for that to be honest, wish we had shown the same attitude against palace

Don't know what you'd expect from Aspas. Poor liverpool had to hold a whip round to be able to afford his £200 transfer fee.
It's not like they were able to bring on a sub who cost millions of pounds but can't even take a corner, unlike those big nasty oil clubs.
Was very worried that too many changes with all the injuries and the CL to play might have weakened Chelsea too much. But Mourinho had every one of his player doing exactly what they needed to, I'll give him that. Fugly stuff but until marks are awarded for style, why not.

If we play Barry, accidently on purpose, tw@t City all over 4-1, then the F.A says naughty, you played Barry, the points go to City, this is the way to go don't you think?

nono, im not just talking about this game.
Im talking about this general tactic, that gets praised after games like this.
Liverpool this season are not the greatest team in the world ever, it shouldnt need defensive tactics to that level if you are a good team yourselves. I don't personally agree with it, and don't think its worthy of being called a tactic let alone being called a masterclass.
On this team in particular, if your only answer to them is to sit extremely deep to the level of, as I said, a non-league team playing at Goodison then I think you are not doing anything exceptional as a coach and your players become functional parts of a simple system and not much more.
To put it simply, I think putting 9 and sometimes 10 in the last third basically makes total common sense and it should always make it difficult to score whatever level your team is at because simply there is no space and if one defender doesnt get a foot in or a block another is always there. I don't think it is a masterclass, or takes great coaching to take a billion-pound team and use this "tactic" to win games.
I absolutely loved it today though!

Hahaha Chelsea were prob in another hotel the try hard whoppers
Still waiting for the 10 or so Kopites who have been bouncing around on here for weeks to surface
Don't mind them on here if there sound but don't just pipe up when everthings smelling of roses
I expect they will be here in the 100s when we get a result on Sat
.....I think gerrard was last man for both Chelsea's goals. Playing a back 5 at home.
