Liverpool vs Chelsea Sunday April 27th KO 14:05 SS1

Thanx 4 The Fish

Ashley Cole could be said to be lucky to be still on the pitch there. Forearm to the head/neck and escaped all sanction... Strange one.

No, players jumping with their arms is normal. Cole was looking at the ball, expecting Suarez to jump and he just leaned into him.

I'd have given a penalty.

Where is the sexy football Abramovich paid a billion pounds for and sacked every manager that couldn't give it to him?

Chelsea playing a back 6 19 th century defending

Obviously it's a pragmatic approach - it's just a shame it's the approach adopted by a team worth hundreds of millions.

They weren't very pragmatic when they dominated the entire game at Stamford bridge. First team ever to adopt a defensive approach away from home?

Who was that to the left of hendo?

Tinie

Got a scrappy 0-0 written all over this.

PhiloCypher

Chelsea playing like they are the team where a point would be enough.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Flanno playing in beast mode today.

Which game is that? Don't remember any domination this season. I do remember Eto'o shouldn't have been on the pitch after 5 minutes though.

Liverpool fans whinging abut chelsea's tactics are sounding pretty pathetic.

just go and beat them, it shouldn't matter how they are playing.

Perhaps Chelsea should play in a way that suits Liverpool? Laughable.

Kelly to the left who was on the right looked like he was making his confirmation.

grumpymunster

9.5 out of 10 there

citytillidie

All 50/50's going Chelsea's way

2-1, dominated the game bar the first 10 minutes.

Entire game is a bit of a stretch, and a "defensive" approach is one thing, not even trying to play football and time wasting right from the beginning is another.

And Suarez shouldn't have been on the pitch when he scored the winner against Chelsea in injury time last season.

Atkinson needs to start flashing some yellows here for time wasting.

mightyreds

Is it not a yellow for time wasting

Rossiter, perhaps?

This time wasting is so small time.

razorblunt

I don't mind Chelsea's tactics, there's more than one way to skin a cat but this time wasting lark sees yellow cards when it's the 88th minute why doesn't the same logic get applied here, they've had multiple warnings, time for Atkinson to crack out the yellow.

But so Jose to be fair

PhiloCypher

Taking it into the corner in the first half lol

Cantona's Collars

Chelsea should be sponsored by Warrior: "We come not to play".

Too Tough To Die

Absolute dogshiit game of football. This is a poorer league without a Man U side challenging to the end.

dirkmeister

Haha Suarez clapping Schwarzer, classic.

Knex*

Suarez with his ironic clapping :pac:

Washington Irving

They really are an odious, insufferable bunch.

kingshankly

What is the point of Lucas today ?????

Agueroooo

Job done so far for Chelsea.

Not all Liverpool fans. Don't think anyone has an issue with the tactics, it's Jose's tendency to throw the toys out of the pram when other teams dare to take that approach to his teams.

Why was that a free?

Rayne Wooney

Time wasting will be a piece of genius if Chelsea win the game, stopping Liverpool's quick start

Obviously if Liverpool win he'll look like a mug

Hmm, that free out for Mignoet was a little strange, didn't see any Chelsea players near him

How is that not a peno FFS

Washington Irving

Liverpool got away with that. Very easily could have been a penalty

double GG

Oh that's a penalty surely...

mike65

Flanno was turning away. No discussion.

LightningBlue

Every week Flanagan gets away with something.
