Mourinho's version of not fit

Its wonderful to watch in action
A CGI trailer gets everyone hyped, then bit by bit the news leaks out and chips away at any chance the game had of being decent

Apparently Di Canio was asking the Sunderland fans if they want him to stay!
Save us from what? I'm glad that our best player is back in the team.

Liverpool fans are always too quick to write off players. Players always tend to struggle in the premier league their first year, I remember some Arsenal fans being less than impressed with Bobby Pires his first year. The next year he spanked it.
His incredible ego will stop him from ever being a good manager.
Three games in a row we've conceded three goals and I guarantee NOTHING will change when we play Liverpool next week.
Stick your bets on over 2.5 for Liverpool. Fucking banker.

I missed the game, was it that bad? And also did we lose because the players didn't show up or is the manager at fault on this one?
Crazy how two matches can change things so drastically. Three draws in a row had a lot of EFC fans moaning about playing like Wigan, two wins later and Martinez is a progressive young talented manager.
Bit of both.
A lesson in the importance of having fullbacks.

There's been nothing.
No 'good play, just not on his teammates wavelength'
No 'unlucky, that would've gone in on another day'
No 'great run, just needs the finishing touch'
Just losing the ball, often by flicking it needlessly, losing control of the ball when he's running at snail's pace, falling over under the slightest pressure, taking too long to get his shots away, passing it to the space his teammate has just vacated because he's made an obvious run.
Just not providing anything. Certainly not done any better than Assaidi did, and he was frozen out after about 20 minutes of gametime

Guess there isn't a point for me to watch the match later on though.
Is he gonna want to go back if they keep sending him out on loan?

I doubt it considering Everton paid quite a bit to take him on loan.
They didn't seem to realise it would take him a few games to adjust. He did excellent today though.

honestly, given what i've seen this season, it's high time for Gerrard to retire asap.

Apart from Sturridge, I could say that about the whole of the liverpool team from what I have seen this season.
only the third liverpool game i have watched the full 90
Well, there has been the massive lack of a relevant sample size.
Honestly I don't even know why I bother with this, people just cannot seem to realize their mistakes in judgement
Do everything you possibly can to avoid it. Match of the day can fuck right off tonight.
Mata or not Chelsea are going to squash Fulham. From what I've seen of them so far I wouldn't be surprised to see Fulham battling relegation at the end of the season.
Nope. If hes not a first choice striker next season he has my blessing to leave and he will. He deserves better than this
Hopefully in January we will sign another attacking midfielder and a defensive midfielder for when either Lucas or Gerrard are playing terrible/tired.
We have been quite unlucky with our fullback injuries but playing 4 cb today was not the way to go. Kelly needs to start playing. FBs are so important to how we play. Toure or Wisdom on the right is not cutting it.
Also Brendan must not be afraid to drop Lucas or Gerrard when they are playing shit.

Where you read it is a 4-2-3-1? I'm excited

Yeah I'm going to avoid watching it. Mainly because its games like these that we should be winning but instead are losing them. It's getting pathetic.
The sooner this dies a horrible death the better. Seems to be rife on gaming side.
Typical Mourinho nonsense. Mata has been superb since joining Chelsea and he's obviously been dropped because of Jose's politics. Both players have contributed a lot to Chelsea success over the past two seasons.

Mou has said there is a clause (just in case I suppose) to recall him but that they won't be.
Luiz left out for technical reasons Mou said, I think he may well be off. Still think Mou is challenging to Mata to adapt. Nothing wrong with that if he responds. He also said we have a 24 man squad and only 18 can be picked, if he wasn't happy with Mata (and Luiz) midweek I can see why they wouldn't get in.

Anyone else disappointed with the way Lucas/Gerrard failed to drop back and give Mignolet/Toure/Skrtel/Sakho an option to pass to? If he had, we'd have been able to get it to midfield with a degree of accuracy, and without going long and being immediately under pressure when the defenders got rid of it
i agree with mourinho about luiz (he's wild and kinda dumb), but dropping mata makes no sense.
Well you also have to take into account that bad results really bite at you, and especially so when you're dropping down from a high. It's hard to be completely rational right after you get your ass stomped.
There's also a competitive nature among fans when you get a group together, all supporting different teams. I often feel the need to reprimand or apologize for a poor performance from my team. Tomorrow I'd be up to discuss the actual tactics of it.
Yeah, as I understand it you cannot recall a player if you've accepted a loan fee for them.

Now for some real football, Serie AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
It was a throwback to the West Brom and Aston Villa games at Anfield last season. RAWK is also going to have to be actively avoided until Wednesday.
Missed Allen big time.
Yeah. That's vital in our team as Mig's distribution is not up to Reina's level. Would still rather have Mig in goal though. That dropping back is something that Allen is good at. I honestly think one of Gerrard and Lucas needs to be dropped for next match if Allen is fit. They look like they need a rest. When we have both Suarez and Coutinho back, I would like to see some games with Allen and Henderson as the two midfielders. The way we are set up to play requires high energy midfielder in the sitting roles.
