Mourinho essentially plays like Stoke, but has the money and players to do it at a world class level...

Stoke play good football now matey, you are thinking of West Ham.


Sturridge actually fit or been pushed onto the bench? Liverpool have lacked movement up front with him missing, opens spaces for Sterling and the likes.

 

[cookie-monster]

I'm feeling sick at the moment. But at least I'm not trying to defend a more expensive team parking the bus.

lol

 

[LTWheels]

Pulis would be a fucking cunt to come to Anfield where you've been blowing teams away and not focus on containing you and stopping your momentum. Mourinho is doing the same.

Just accept you're getting tactically outthought, and hope that Brendan can do something about it. Because that's what's happening at the moment. Even discounting the Gerrard slip, Chelsea are looking the better of the two because they're executing their gameplan well.

And regardless of whether you think it's boring or negative, it was the right one and it's fucking working.

All I'm pointing out is that there is nothing genius about what Mourinho's doing. He just has the players to pull it off.

 

[arkon]

Oh come on guys. We're just gonna pass around in the back filling up the 90 minutes. Not even gonna attempt anymore.

Total football

 

[Don't Laugh]

c'mon Chelsea hold them off for another 45

 

[Broder Salsa]

Chelsea's B team could easily get top 4

The loan team is decent.

----------------Courtois-----------------

Wallace-Zouma- Omerou-Bertrand

-----------Romeu-Chalobah------------

-----T. Hazard - Piazon - Atsu-------

------------------Lukaku ------------------



Victor Moses and Marko Marin on the bench.

I'm feeling sick at the moment. But at least I'm not trying to defend a more expensive team parking the bus.

lol

No need to defend it, the current score speaks for itself.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

That Ladbrokes advert makes me want to slit my wrists.

aye its god awful.

 

[bud]

so moyes get no credit for setting his team up defensively and reducing bayern to tippy tappy BUT mourinho gets all the praise when he does it hahaha ^^ typical mourinho fanboy

mourinho's the standard by which all other managers must be judged.

he's the sun, the moon, and the earth.
he's the clouds, the winds, and the rain.
he's the length, the vascularity, and the girth.
he's a big guy, for you, like bane.

 

[Ingeniero]

so moyes get no credit for setting his team up defensively and reducing bayern to tippy tappy BUT mourinho gets all the praise when he does it hahaha ^^ typical mourinho fanboy

What matters is the result.
And Moyes failed, end of history.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Jose deserves the title just for making LiverpoolGaf so salty

 

[Hixx]

Get up you shithouse.

I'm not saying Moyes doesn't get any praise, you're reading shit where there is none because your reading (and thought) comprehension seems to be on the level of a comatose walrus.

Moyes knew going into the game that Bayern were happy to knock it around in front of the defence for the entirety, so he set up his team to counter that. Good stuff.

Mou knew going into this game Liverpool have all the momentum at home in the first half, and looked to negate that. Good stuff.

You're clearly just one of those stupid fucking football purists who think that attacking is the be all and end all of the game, and to be honest I'm done with you because you're boring the living fuck out of me more than Mou could ever achieve.

 

[kmax]

Why do they feel the need to pass the ball into the goal. It's Barca syndrome.

Shoot the ball.

 

[Blablurn]

c'mon Chelsea hold them off for another 45

seriously fuck chelsea

 

[Linius]

Oh my God, this really is amazing to watch. What a way win to win the league.

EDIT

De Boer went inside :lol

 

[Blablurn]

 

[Gareth Bale]

I'm feeling sick at the moment. But at least I'm not trying to defend a more expensive team parking the bus.

lol

Not sure Chelsea's team today is that much more expensive than Liverpool's

I may be wrong though

 

[Elchele]

DAMN!!!!

rip HSV

 

[Phantast2k]

rofl, Adler. No way he should be nominated for WC..

 

[John Dunbar]

Gerrard will never forgive himself if that was the tipping point :/

you mean the slipping point.

 

[ashecitism]

Pool corners and crosses are utter shit

 

[spidye]

Lolburg

 

[tri_willy]

Jose deserves the title just for making LiverpoolGaf so salty

as opposed to arsenal gaf, pls understand

 

[Splatt]

Glen you stupid fuck

 

[Wilbur]

It's okay to play like that, it's even okay to defend it à la "I don't give a shit if we play like shit as long as we win", I just find it weird people pretend it's not boring and dreadful.

I'm so glad we don't play like that.

Because I genuinely find your style of slowing down play and just passing it around just as dreadful, so the media schism between one being fucking beautiful - because it relies on possession - and one being horrifically boring - because it relies on tactical shape and defending - confuses me.

 

[Walshy]

Trying to force it

The reactions it elicits are pretty entertaining to me.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

our own manager does it to us

 

[Slizz]

Shouldah ta Shouldah

 

[Tc91]

Great defending Kalas

 

[jayj306]

Gerrard's legs must really have gone if Rodgers isn't trusting him to play forward in place of Lucas. Lucas has all the moment and attacking nous of a corpse in attack.

 

[Feorax]

Pool corners and crosses are utter shit

And through balls.

And dribble.

There we go, one pen each not given.

 

[spidye]

Sikaffy, Phantast, you realize HSV will stay in Bundesliga, right? They'll probably have to play Fürth or Paderborn.

The way hamburg plays everything's possible

 

[ashecitism]

Kalas pretty solid

 

[tri_willy]

sturry warming up

 

[Wilbur]

And through balls.

And dribble.

There we go, one pen each not given.

That wasn't a pen. Just stronger than Sterling.

 

[kmax]

No pen.

Great defending by Kalas.

 

[Blackhead]

so moyes get no credit for setting his team up defensively and reducing bayern to tippy tappy BUT mourinho gets all the praise when he does it hahaha ^^ typical mourinho fanboy

?Moyes didn't win though! If Mourinho wins away at both Man City and Liverpool this season, it'll be a huge accomplisment

 

[Lambda Pie]

never a pen.

 

[Phantast2k]

Sikaffy, Phantast, you realize HSV will stay in Bundesliga, right? They'll probably have to play Fürth or Paderborn.

Who said that they'll even make it to the relegation play-off? Nürnberg & Braunschweig are far from being dead.

 

[Elchele]

Sikaffy, Phantast, you realize HSV will stay in Bundesliga, right? They'll probably have to play Fürth or Paderborn.

at this point, I wouldn't be so sure about that

Who said that they'll even make it to the relegation play-off? Nürnberg & Braunschweig are far from being dead.

Nurnberg are dead

 

[Feorax]

Suarez you utter moron. Release the fucking ball.

 

[Yurt]

 

[Tc91]

Matic is brilliant, why can't Fellaini be like that for us.

 

[Wilbur]

Please, do you even watch Bundesliga?

I watch Bayern a lot, and I find them boring as fuck. I don't really care if people like them, but the fact that being are so quick to deify your style of play and demonise Chelsea's is just stupid considering they're both as slow and in some ways negative as each other.

 

[ashecitism]

What are Suarez's stats against big teams this season?

 

[K1LLER7]

Matic has been a great buy.

Put Torres on. Mou pls.

 

[3Sixty]

How bad is Fwank these days.

 

[Linius]

Oh lol, we won the league

let's party

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Ajax pls stop celebrate. You've forfeited the right to celebrate anything after last week.

33!
