Chelsea really are their nemesis; it's a wonderful relationship (for the rest of us).

Shame it's not us, like.

Chelsea are only marginally less detestable than them. In fact, if I wasn't a toffee, I'd probably find them more so.

The Echo taking it badly.

More than the selfie stick or celeb big brother, the ultimate symbol of the decline of modern society is the continued employment of James Pearce as a journalist. The man is a senile buffoon.

Posh lad who's obviously noticed the career development path of Echo journalists: stay onside of the psychopathic Kopites and you can have a job eventually as their correspondent in one of the nationals. See Chris Bascombe, Tony Barrett etc.

I love Mourinho.

He hates Liverpool as much as Evertonians do.

' Bazza' was crackers overdoing the Mr Liverpool stuff. He's toned it down a tad, now he doesn't have to appeal to a load of swivel eyed loons.

"I don't know about that. We are as good as them as far as first choice 11 goes. Including Sturridge. We created more chances by far over the two games. But we only have one finisher. Coutinho is top top class, as is hazard. Only difference is hazard is a finisher. I think we have 13-14 quality players, Chelsea have about 17-18. I hate everything to do with mourinho, I would never want my team playing there way no matter the success. However Rodgers is great at setting a team up and installing a style of play. His game management is terrible. His changes baffle. When we are behind and Brendan starts to panic he changes everything, Players clearly don't know there role by the end of the game"

The substitutions from Rodgers today was a complete disgrace!!! I’m not a fan of Lovren but to play friggin Johnson instead is a diabolical decision!! I implore everyone to pause the goal conceded just before the ball is crossed in for their goal. Look at where useless Johnson is stood!! Wrong side of his man before a ball is even kicked. Then joke Balo does the same and low and behold free header. Seriously the entire game changed on sahko’s injury. Johnson was a total disgrace in absolutely everything he did. Beaten non stop didn’t even try to recover or mark anybody ever! As for the last decision to take off Moreno and put on LAMBERT…!!!!! What??? Lallana sat there, a game crying out for his creativity and sharp mind! But not only bringing the wrong player on, he takes off a player full of pace and energy in a wide area, puts on a lump in Lambert with no energy ever. The absolute worse decision still was to replace the wide area where Moreno was with….LUCAS!! Lucas had given everything – had absolutely no energy and for as long as he lives he will NEVER BE A WIDE PLAYER! Furthermore taking another mobile high energy pacey player off the field when all the players legs are deserting them he takes off Markovic for Balo!!! A guy that even with a rocket up his a$$ wouldn’t break a sweat! Yet no worries, Hendo, Lucas and Gerrard all with no pace or legs left – they all stay on that field. That was a dreadful last 15mins and all due to Rodgers! No other words for it. Despicable decisions at a time where a manager really earns their corn!

Ha Ha.

I love it when Kopites fume.

Oh yeah, defo. He's out of the inner sanctum of the cult now so he'll have 'a go' now and again...but not too much - he's still within bullet posting distance.

Todgers coming out with textbook RS hypocrisy on BBC news just before about Costa...."He doesn't need to do it...hes an outstanding player. Hes clever enough...mumble.... that the officials don't see it". So not only a foul but planned intent. Whereas Suarez wasn't clever enough.....er apart from the sly, vicious, lay-off inducing fouls that he tried to justify with lies...studs catching in the turf re Distin etc etc. Now you know what its like, Rodgers....I was going to say as "the biter, bit"

The no mark is a sore loser.

Terrible trait in a man that.

True! His derby reviews used to make laugh, you may as well have let some deranged drunk balloon head write it up. It was complete biased error strewn stupidity, a bit like Aldo's tosh.

That's what happened.

Comforting to see that even a massive club like Chelsea can fall prey to the media vicious patronising of anyone who beats liverpool.

Courtious MOTM?!? As Mourinho pointed out he wasn't even the best keeper on the pitch never mind the best player. But I guess the RS all went to bed happy that Chelsea's keeper was apparently the reason they lost.

Hazard was MOTM by a mile and gave sterling a lesson in what a really talented player looks like...

I'm delighted somebody finally grew a set of balls and got in Gerrard's face.

More of that in the Derby please.

Liverpool looked clueless. The only player who looked like disturbing Chelsea was Coutinho. He's capable of doing the unexpected.

Other than for about 15 minutes in the first half the RS were utter turd. Chelsea completely bossed the second half despite only playing for a 0-0, and even when Chelsea were 1-0 up and the RS needed to score, Chelsea were still passing it around their area for fun.

Can't think of one AMAZING save that Courtous had to make that he wouldn't be expected to make, wheras Mignolet made a fair few. But whatever floats their deluded little boats will usually be the media BS that gets printed.
