i hope your right.
and growls i feel sorry for gerrard, don't get me wrong.
but we had 45 mintues to rectify it and we didnt. any team that can shut you out has thought you a lesson. Gerrard tried too hard, overflowing with guilt probably. Admirable, but on reflection, stupid and extremely costly. As I say, I unusually feel for the geezer and hope that now infamous slip doesn't haunt him for the rest of his life. I don't think shooting from distance was stupid and costly, we had no solution to break their 2 line of defence, this is why Coutinho couldn't find a pass. There was always 2 players on Suarez and Sterling one behind the other, so close to impossible to beat both. We do not have tall attacking players to head balls neither. Shooting from distance was a solution but we do not have a lot of them in the team. Let's face it, Mourinho's tactics to not concede worked as planned. The only blame I could have is not shutting the game as well and gone for the draw. When SG slipped, he was our last defender and he was close to the midfield, meaning we were all up the field to attack a congested area. If our CB were behind him, his slip might not have been so costly.

I think he's jusrt severley p1ssed right off like the rest of us, but it just comes out and over in a rather exclusive and unique way from him (more pi55ed and p1ssed offthan the rest of us on his initial post yesterday)

I've read the endless headlines (not the stories) from all the media outlets and their professional keyboard warriors on the game yesterday with more than a chuckle as they try and explain the usual array of reasons we lost and Chelsea won, with stats, the genius of Mourhino and the endless bookful of footballing metaphors. All of it complete bollox.
We needed a draw and not to lose. Gerrard slipped and they scored in a game which would have otherwise been an average 0-0. And where we would have then been praised as doing enough blah blah blah. There is no more to it than that.
At the highest level (which we are again amongst) it's fractions and a slip sealed it. Cruel and unfair as in life but the money driven circus must role on............

Our problem is not having a plan B. Everyone expected Chelsea to park the bus at Anfield and so we should have been prepared for this. If Jose Mourinho doesn't want to concede a goal away from home then he won't concede a goal... Call it whatever you want but his tactics worked a treat yesterday. We have one of the smallest squads in the league and we were written off by the vast majority in January; so to still be in contention for the league title at this stage is the biggest achievement I have ever witnessed as a Liverpool fan. Obviously I'm still hurting from yesterday, and as a pessimist I can't see Man City slipping up in any of their remaining games. But we all have every right to be excited about the future. Champions League football is back, Anfield redevelopment plans and a big transfer kitty in the summer. Whatever happens from now and the end of the season, we have no reason to be downhearted, and instead we should be relishing the good times ahead!
