Today's football.

[Darth Toffeeman]

Thinking of watching an old fantasy film tonight but cannot decide which one...

Connan the BAbarian or BAbarella.

I will let my liverpool supporting brothrr in-law decide later.

Is anybody listening to Souness? I normally don't mind him but he's coming across bitter here.

Sounds like he's been crying, the only team not up for it today were Liverpool

0-1 down, 2 minutes to go, going for the title.

Iago, come take this corner lad.

BTW, Chelsea are waiting like snides in the wings for these two drop the ball.

I would not rule them out at all.

I said weeks ago Chelsea would win the title, might have run out of games now tho

Brendon crying about Chelsea parking the bus like is this is easy to do, if that was the case most teams would park the bus at anfield.

The redsh*te have been destroying teams who play a high line, best attacking force in the league, Jose totally made them look average, brilliant plan, played out to the letter by his team.

And don't forget that was a weakened team, I'd just like Brenda once to be gracious in defeat but I won't hold my breath.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Jose has burst that "unbeatable" RS bubble. Great scenes

Delighted with the turnaround today obviously but I think there is too much Jose-worshipping as a result of the win today. I think this post on the Guardian sums it up well:

Mourinho's contribution to football is that he has figured out that if you take a group of exceptional players and make them play like "football professor" Egil "Drillo" Olsen's Norway in the nineties they'll be almost impossible to beat

I personally think putting almost your whole team in the final third is not a masterclass in defending. There's a few Milan defenses from the late 80s onwards that would look down their noses at that. Its just percentage football, sit in the final third and move over and back keeping the space in between and behind to a minimum. It's not worthy of being called a tactic IMO, it's the same thing a non league team would do coming to Everton in the cup.

Not knocking the man as a winner, because he clearly is, and is entitled to do it however he feels, and I am over the moon that there is now a chance that the unthinkable might not happen, butttt it just bugs me he gets praise for what is such a basic thing, and IMO a waste of a bunch of very talented footballers. Better management would be coaching a talented team to be able to come out attack and control a game against a title rival.

But I know all that stuff can depend on if you see the sport as just a results business. I personally don't.

Hope Atleti come through at Stamford Bridge!

Don't wanna laugh at that Stevie G vine vid yet, but I will be all over it if they definitely lose out to City or Chelsea!

Its not frigging easy to park the bus at Anfield and keep a clean sheet against a team who are scoring easily at home. The whole team needs a perfect defensive shape.

I don't think it does, having 4 or 5 extra players in there denying space and time with the ball makes your job a lot easier. I think Baresi or Maldini would be telling the midfielders to get back to their own part of the pitch, we will deal with this!
