If that was the difference, Liverpool would be fine. Liverpool are not fine. They're fuucked!

They're not fuuuucked. They need to do a lot better but they're far from fuuucked. Issues that need to be addressed but the usual overreaction merchants are all over it. Losing to chelsea is no shame. Most teams will. United and City were both very lucky to get draws with them and tbh i felt in general we played ok today. Very well in spells but the problems that have cost us all season came out again.

Played better, but still not really good enough.

The problem is, we also got no decisions, so it was never going to happen today.

Ball was out of play for the goal, Matic could've been off for 1000 fouls and should've had a penalty.

Very close game. Liverpool are only lacking sturridge and theyed be a real force IMO.

While hes a huge loss we still have too many dodgy players in that first 11.
Lovren,Johnson,Balloteli in particular.

Over to you Ireland to give me atleast one weekend victory to enjoy:P

Just on todays performance the only one of them who was poor was Lovren, Johnson had his best game this season comfortably.

difference between the team is Nemanja Matic vs Gerard.
Matic is a excellent defensive midfielder. Gerard is not.

True, but also Costa gave Chelsea an attacking focal point, Balotelli didn't do that for Liverpool

Watch it again, Azpilcueta kept the ball in, the whole ball didn't cross the line. Could have been a penalty though.

Should it not have been a peno!?? I doubt that Rodgers will say we played great, but we haven't been completely awful. Some awful performances but as a team we haven't been that bad imo.

Also your post is pathetically passive aggressive.

How about I just be aggressive in my posting?

The Rodgers is a chancer and I've been posting this for the majority of the season. If Chelsea were that way inclined, they coulda easily beat us by 2-3 but Jose changed tactics to see out the game.

My point was that now The Rodgers has an incident that he can focus on in the aftermath that will detract away from the decisions he has made in this game.

If you don't like my posting style, ignore or block, simple. Don't give the. Pathetic passive aggressive shouts when you disagree with someone.

I find trying to be sarcastic (not really good sarcasm I suppose) helps me cope with the fact we are absolutely poxy. You may disagree and a lot on here do, but I don't attack their posts because of it.

Good win , fairly comfortable , great workrate from Oscar and Costa

TitianGerm

Chelsea are so good at shutting a game down when they are ahead. If we could do half as good a job we would seriously reduce the amount of goals we concede.

We played well mostly bar a few nervy spells but the pressure and intensity need to increase to level like last year.

Did you feel that last year when we finished 2nd playing football that was the most exciting i've seen in my time as a liverpool fan? Its pretty obvious you want him to fail and imo it's pathetic. I don't need to ignore anyones post. Its not going to upset me to read them but i will reply and defend a manager who in his time at the club has done very well.

7 is generous.

Could have robbed a point but Chelsea are just too good defensively.

Were a different team entirely with two up front, he can't keep going with one up front.

Passive aggressive name calling by those who want to paint him as a failure and a chancer.

Kept the ball in where did you see the pen? Oscar was also offside when laying in the goal line

I've always felt it and talking to lads I go the match with who all think I'm mad. Last year I admit I got caught up in it, especially in the last few months. The reason we were so good last year is in Spain now. It's my opinion. Also the fact you think I want Liverpool to fail is mental stuff tbh. I have a few fetishes but spending money on supporting my club so I can watch them lose and also hope they lose is a fetish too far. I don't hate myself that much.

Just a chancer. He is on his way to failing.

Btw it's a joke name put on him a couple of seasons ago, nothing to get emotional about.

Laying in the goal line would be a big interference but the. Liverpool were getting nothing from that ref

If you are laying the blame on the ref for that defeat then you are delusional, keeper was never saving that

I know its a joke name put on him a couple of seasons ago. I was here for it. And it was mainly in reference to the "Brentisms" that people were going on about. Not emotional about it but i think its very childish. But thats the internet right? :P

The Davestator

Delighted. Now watch coach Rogers pass the blame to anyone but himself. Joker

Sanity_Saviour

Thought overall we were nowhere near good enough. Bizarre decision to start Ramires instead of an actual winger and the amount of space Liverpool players were given all game was worrying.

If Mourinho doesn't learn from the mistakes of letting the other team back into it at United and City could come back to really hurt us. Matic, Costa and Cahill good today Hazard seemed to try and break the record for giving the ball away.

It would have been worse if Liverpool were even at the races. Hope this isn't the start of another November rot

I know you were. Yeah it's childish, but I'm a big child.

As I've said, I try and amuse myself to get my head away from how we are playing. It is childish and probably not funny but as the great Brendan Grace once said, "I've had my fun, and that's all that matters."

Good Lord. If a Liverpool fan put that up in a Man U match thread, you'd be the first one in on your white horse in shining armour defending your fellow fans from attack.

You were searching through the Chelsea squad for Asian players, weren't you.

Nothing of note really, interviewer asked him could this be his best ever Chelsea side which he replied by saying they have to win something first.

Probably the best Liverpool have played all season, unlucky not to get a penalty too.

For all that Countinho let Azpilicueta get by him for Costa's goal, he shouldn't have even been in that position.

As usual the defense was off behind the bike shed sniffing glue

If my aunty had balls...
Give it a rest kiddo. The reason I asked is because there was no Asian players on the pitch, I was genuinely baffled at what the purpose of it was.

Are people really gonna get their knickers in a twist that a playmaker got done defensively?!? Where the F*ck was Glen Johnson!!

Being beaten by a far better team tbh.

imo Coutinho should have done what all players who are determined to win do and that's foul the player... should have kicked him into touch... tbh... poor from Coutinho...any of Mourinho's players would have

Chelsea at 11\8 was hard to turn down. Would not be surprised at draw though.

Happy days. Few quid for few pints.

Bad result for Liverpool considering worse teams took points off Chelsea

Wish I could agree with this but it felt like Chelsea never really got out of or needed to get out of second gear.
