'The job' Chelsea had to do was win, but their all-out defence only did part of that job - stopping us from scoring. The defensive tactics did not give them the win, it would not have happened without Gerrard slipping and Mourinho did not plan for that, nor was it brought about by his tactics.
So, they did well to stop us from scoring - but they only actually won the game through luck. Their tactics were good enough to get a 0-0, and if it had finished like that, Mourinho would be slagged off for being too negative. Why were we having all players forward with our last line of defence being Gerrard (not even a defender) close to the centre of the pitch if we only needed a draw? I cannot understand this. Well was it only a draw we needed? Yes we could've won with 7/9 points but saying we only needed a draw in this game puts more pressure on us for the final 2 games and in this league no win is certain. In hindsight you can say yes a draw would've been better obviously but at the time I'd rather we went for the win, like we did, without that mistake I believe it would've been 0-0. Think both managers got their tactics right, one just caught a lucky break.

Your right elliot. Can't be playing for a draw at this stage. We needed a win to take the pressure off the last 2 games.
