Liverpool Vs Chavski post match thread

[Tee]

did anyone else see him have a laugh with our fans, he was near the centenary stand about the half way line and was about to take a free kick and threw the ball about 5 feet forwards and has soon as the ball landed he grabbed the ball back knowing we were going to give him **** about trying to gain the extra yards and pointed to us and started laughing

Yes, that was a funny moment in an otherwise depressing evening.

You're a tactical genius.

I try my best!!

Why didn't Gerrard man mark Essien out of the game? They would have cancelled each other out and then we could have relied on Alonso and Lucas...

Oh.

I think this Man marking ****e knocked Rafa for six, He more or less said so himseld. Completely destroyed our tactical plan. The next game will need a masterplan by rafa. Infact im sure he is already working on it! I just hope the players still believe.

Has anyone else read Oliver Holt's piece in todays Mirror? What a ****. That is the second consecutive article he has written having a dig at us and trying to heap the pressure (no doubt Sluralex had a word with the Manc).

I have decided not to buy that ****rag again.

I see no reason why they'd come at us mate.

They'll just sit back and soak it up, try to hit us on the break and do it that way.

just sittinig back and soak up the pressure, could have a negative effect, especially if they concede early in the game.

Oh.

Your opinion is now of no consequence to myself and probably 99% of people on this forum.

Well done.

I dont mean they'll set up a line of 10 men across the front of their box. But they wont be forcing the game or coming at us, they've no need to.

He's wrong, but only because the great Anfield roar was not present last night. More than likely because their eyes are on something else - an end to 19 years of pain. Last night they were not the twelve man for Liverpool. If anything their quietness was too obvious and galvanised Chelsea, becoming a twelve man for the opposition.

As my United mates put it this morning - Anfailed.

Thats kindof what we tried to do after scoring the early goal and it allowed Chelsea to build up a head of steam. So I hope thats exactly what we do.

No it's not what we did. When i said about not forcing the game, i meant not thrusting forward and pushing on. You can not thrust forward and push on, but still keep the ball. Last night, we gave the ball away horrifically and it cost us.

If we'd sat back but kept possession, it would've been entirely different.

Having a dig? Well we lost comprehensively for a start and considering that I thought he was quite kind to us? He was certainly full of praise for YNWA, and the sea of scarves, banners etc. What else did you expect him to praise? The performance?

Playing at home can do funny things to players. I suspect the crowd will demand they go forward and not sit back. Depends how disciplined Chelsea are.

Maybe it was his last line, the chelsea fans singing "**** your history, we're going to Rome"...............

Still, right at the end when Stevie tracked back and did a fantastic sliding tackle, I heard the Chelsea fans pipe up "Gerrard, what's the score, Gerrard, Gerrard, What's the score?" Right at that moment I wanted Stevie to hold up 5 fingers to them

What crowd? That crowd reacts the same to win or defeat

It's no Anfield in full volume, but they still get behind their team. I think their lack of passion in the past has to be attributed to the fact that they were playing first. Last year they were well up for it. Not Anfield, but not bad by their standards.

I sense next week will be like a party atmosphere for them and they will want to see goals from Chelsea. But I also think that the first goal for Liverpool could quieten them and make the Chelsea players think.

Liverpool and Anfield are special because of the reputation the club is built on. Everyone knows about our superb come backs. Get one back and everyone in that Stadium will start to think of that.

It's the same reason so many teams collapse against Man Utd. Reputation - something money can't buy.

The last line of his report was ****in disgrace.

A ****in sly dig if ever ther ewas one and it followed on from a similar 'Liverpool are running scared of United' story last time out.
