Taking the p1ss

[wooloomooloo]

I've decided over two legs, I really don't like Diego Costa. Not only does he think he is better than he actually is but he's a right miserable git as well.

He does score the odd penalty for balance, though.

Half the stadium empty & a few bellends cluelessly waving those shitty plastic flags.

Still, John Terry can always go to the final with a Real Madrid strip under his tracksuit.

I can imagine Simeone looking at that team and thinking.<deleted> is Jose up too..and like so many other managers then getting lost on there own plans and spending to much time thinking about what Jose is doing.

Mind games Tactics..........you leave the door open and he will find a way in.

Get it done in 90 minutes boys

Yep. Atletico Madrid beat us fair and square.

Well played.

Simeone class.

Courtois fine young goalie.

Costa? I'd prefer we didn't buy him.

Evening All.

I want to congratulate Atletico for having cojones to come to Chlesea and give them a lesson in karmic justice.

I also want to congratulate Rafa Benitez for winning for European trophies with Chelsea than Chelsea. You must haaaaaate that.

Great performance from the on loan Chelsea keeper 55555

[mjj]

Congratulation to Leti. I guess we need a bigger bus. ;-)

Still, not all doom and gloom, we have improved this season. Semis in the CL and closer in the epl is not a bad return...................but I do prefer the shiny things.

More importantly with people's opinion of Costa taking a downward turn, who can we get as a striker?

Although I can't see it happening, Courtois should probably be our keeper next season.

That's not hate mate it's karma. :-p

Even one if your own players admitted tonight Chelsea are not a team set up to play football, only counter attack.

Or then again not giving a monkeys what Mourinho's doing and just go out there and comprehensively beat you.

Still, he got his excuses for failure in early with all that little horse crap but it will have to be seen whether Abramovich will go along with it. the pressure must be very high next year for a manager who, for two seasons and with the massive resources available at Real Madrid and Chelsea, has been trophyless.

I'm not sure Roman Abramovich will see this as improvement. Managers have been sacked for less at Chelsea.

He is already going with Atletico....look carefully

Well Jose, after 6 defeats in 8 Champs League Semis, I guess you should know. In future Ferme la bouche

Yes indeed, a lesson in the benefits of buttoning it......i doubt he'll learn but maybe at least he might stop making unpleasant, in appropriate comments about his fellow managers. actually it looks like he could also learn a lot from the younger inexperienced Diego Simeone who really did a number on him last night.

Athletico could have had me as coach and they still would have won. They were the better team and deserved the win.

A silly comment from the ordinarily reliable Old Git. Can't see how Simeone's performance can be discredited.

Chelsea's defense just made too many mistakes against this quality of opponent.

Remember back to Anfield not so long ago and the Chelsea defense sat deep and only conceded seven fouls the entire match. i didn't like it but it certainly was clinical and incredibly well done. Last night they were not clinical, Terry and Cole failing to clear and E'to giving away the penalty.

You can be the best coach in the world but if you haven't got the quality of player to work with,you're flogging a dead horse,JD. Granted Simeone is responsible for getting his team into the right frame of mind and fit to play but his players were just that bit better than ours,quicker to the ball,more fleet of foot overall and were more penetrative in attack. Now,if Simeone is the primary reason for that,then I'm doing him a disservice but I think these particular talents that his players possessed were honed well before he entered the scene.

Gerrard made an error on the half way line. He slipped. Anybody can. Players do it all the time.

BUT he had NO defenders behind him to correct the mistake or prevent the consequences.

Accident waiting to happen.

Could have been Gerrard, could have been someone else, but the chances were something like that was going to happen.

If not a slip, then a through ball for a Chelsea player to run on to.

Rodgers was brave in his approach but ultimately reckless.

Mourinho punished him.

+1.

Mourinho planted the idea that Chelsea were there to park the bus with a weakened team, whereas he was there to implement a strong well-marshalled defence + swift counter-attack strategy. There's a world of difference and the young brilliant but less experienced manager was completely outpsyched. Coaches will be using this match as study material for years to come.

Time wasting right from the kick off was a masterful stroke to convince Liverpool players that the game was all about Liverppol attack v Chelsea defence.

Well I guess last night's match proves you were talking mince Santi, they park the bus and hope for the best and when they have to win a match by actually playing football that's what happens!! #tacticalgenius

[meatboy]

seems like there is a growing gap between foreign football and the English premier league.

Chelsea were out-played and out-classed and out of puff.
