A word, if you say anything like that be ready to back it up with evidence. I asked you a link to it so please post it instead of spinning the statement. Shouldn't be hard for you considering your uber Reddit skillz.

 

There was nothing I quoted Mr. Sherlock! dont kid your self by not admitting who was the clear favorite to come out with atleast a point.. in your words, dont spin it again & again! Each & everyone of your kind was wetting their pants in the dream of that title.. heck your captain was the most pumped!

 

And you know this how? Nobody here and most of the guys I knew claimed that if we get a draw we'd win the damn thing. Did you not see the responses to a post by Nemo, everyone dismissed 'a formalty' instantly. Nobody knows what would happen in the next game as it has been proven countless times this season.

 

It wasn't. I'm pretty sure when I say this, but no LFC fan considered the any game a title decider yet unless we were on the last day of the season needing 3/1 point(s) to win.

 

Hmmm... I dont really like to start quoting you & your friends from a few pages behind with all the clear sight & vision of your captain, funny! I mean how difficult is to just digest that getting atleast a point against Chelsea and then having to play New Castle & Crystal Palace.. do you really undermine the capability of the rabid dog (pun-intended) goal machine Suarez & Stud-man? dont try & act all diplomatic and that too on behalf of your entire community..

 

I just made a point where I compared a match in which you guys were playing with your best team at home against west ham which employed the very same tactics which you guys did against us. That day you couldn't broke through, on sunday we couldn't. All I'm saying was that it happens against these tactics. I mentioned already why it wasn't a black & white case of a title yet but you'll ignore it anyway.

 

I'm perplexed as to why you wouldn't see a basic similarity in both cases. Anyone would've made Chelsea clear favourites that day and had there best team which one would've picked 10/10 times to come up with a win against WHU. Chelsea still had quite a few players who are well versed with what Mourinho does in these type of games.

 

On the continuous f**ked up cries, again please read my response on the previous page that I don't quite agree on that term but yes Chelsea got us where they wanted us to be as I have said more than once after the match. I dunno why you keep raising this rabbit again & again. f**ked up would be something I'd use if Chelsea would've outwitted us in midfield or bamboozled us with some clever forward play. What would be apt to say is that we were short on the execution of our attacking play in the second half. We tried changing the formation, changing the personnel by bringing on Aspas (who was f**king woeful) and did everything we could. But it was one of those days when nothing would work.

 

 

*waits for the LOL TL:didn't read meme*

 

Alright, TL;DR - Chelsea beat pool (with a clean sheet) infront of the KOP without Cech, Terry, Cahill, Hazard, Oscar, Eto'o in a match where pool needed nothing but a point.. Have the 7 kingdoms been notified or do I need to spend hours & hours to make it happen?

 

you are going with ifs and buts, to make yourself feel better :)

Ok since I missed the match & have gotten aware of the scoreline.. Hypothetically if Chelsea do make it to the final, does Chelsea stand a chance? was Real/Ronaldo that good? drubbing Bayern like this seems similar to what Barca got from Bayern last season...

Real were quite dangerous but it started with poor positioning/marking of bayern in set pieces and after that bale and ronaldo gave a demo of their pace.

 

Mourinho will face his shadow, if we reach the final.

Still continuing with the malarky I see. You claimed Rodgers uttered some specific words, I asked for a link, how hard this is to understand?

 

As for the rest, whatever, i really have no wish to repeat myself now, like i said before continue till the finest hour lasts. Oh & please do watch the entirety of that video, it justifies a lot of the points I was making.

Hoping for Chelsea to go through and beat Real in the finals. There is something about Mourinho's teams that make them awesome villains and gatecrashers.

I hated that guy in real

Real won't play in the same way against Chelsea or Atleti . Possession figure will just get reversed . and we will have more than 60% possession.

 

We also like possession . But possession obsession of Munich resulted so skewed possession stats . even when they were losing they were more eager to keep the ball . Also they really lacked fast paced dribbling. Robben was so predictable

So did his post-match interview suggest that Liverpool deserved to lose? If yes, then I take my words back..

 

For your second point, you chose to conveniently ignore the most important part of the Carragher Scrutiny.. Stop trying to act like a saint here coz you all have been there and done the same things in the past & will surely do again in future if need be.. tactically y'all got owned which was well appreciated by most of your kind..

 

Here's the transcript..

 

 

 

When asked about Chelsea's Gameplan,
He said:
"I've done it playing for Liverpool.
I remember going to Barcelona in 2001 in the UEFA Cup and we got a 0-0. We did exactly the same as what Chelsea did yesterday, we went there for our clean sheet. Johan Cruyff said after the game we were a disgrace to football.
Let's not forget that in the seventies and eighties when Liverpool went away they'd go there and do a job to try and get a 0-0. At times they'd play it back to Ray Clemence and slow the game down.
I remember with Rafa Benitez playing against Chelsea, we played them at their own game. We slowed the game down, played direct football, never got caught on the counter-attack and never risked playing a ball into Stevie (Gerrard) or Xabi Alonso, as they had Duff, Robben and Drogba for the counter-attack.
There was frustration after the game. We heard Liverpool fans afterwards on radio phone-ins and whatever, but you've got to not be complaining so much about Chelsea and think you may come up against this again - how are we going to go about it and try to get the result?
You can't complain and say 'we don't play like that'. We've done it before and been successful at it.
You can't complain. Lots of teams have done it, we've done it, so get on with it and try to find a way to fix it."

Look you can dress up your statement again & again & again, but the fact is that your intention was to have a go at him. And in doing so you fabricated a line out of thin air to support your claim & gloat. Its why you cannot provide any link and its why you continue to move the goalposts on it.

 

Now that we have got it out of the way

 

you chose to conveniently ignore the most important part of the Carragher Scrutiny

And you have repeatedly "conveniently" chose to ignore the points both of them & I had made. See we can do this all day.

 

As for the "important point" I post again what i replied to DK

 

The bolded is part is what I'd say too. Chelsea/Maureen did what they are good at and I was fully expecting them go with that gameplan.

 

What I also expected was to bludgeon them with our attack because we were at home and we have blitzed teams before. It still part of a learning curve for us because next season more & more teams will play like that against us & we have to counter it, we have done it a few times this season but there is still scope for improvement.

I have said it more than once but you seem to have a real problem reading those points. Something about convenient ignorance comes to mind :rolleyes:

 

I understand what Carra is trying to say. What he referred to was eons ago but yes we have defended deep before. I won't deny that.

 

What I have beef with & never seen us do is a keeper trying to waste time after 80 or so seconds on the clock. To fake taking a kick after pondering a good minute & let your defender take it. To have a referee point to his watch repeatedly in the first 5 minutes.In Second half yes I understand that and I have said so.

 

Tactically owned :lol: Erase that one mistake and it was a 0-0 all day. Or are you saying that both the goals were part of some deeply masterminded, strategic initiatives.
