Eliot not Elliot

No, but it was his tactics that was the cause of SG being our last defender despite being a few yards from the midfield. SG slipped because the ball passed him as he was trying to find who to pass to with all our players well man marked. Don't look at the symptom but look at the cause. There was no other tactic for Chelsea to get a result at Anfield where we have been scoring loads against everybody.

Wrong studs?

Gerrard plays that role vish, he has done it regular, fullbacks push up, centre backs split and gerrard carries the ball out from the back, it was him taking his eye of the ball, nowt to do with any chelsea tactic.

He took his eyes off the ball because he couldn't find a pass quickly, he was looking for an available player off Chelsea's marking. In any case, we had a full half to score, why didn't BR find the solution against a crap manager's tactics?

Mourinho is not a crap manager vish

Of course SP, it was an irony for those who have been claiming he is. For me he stays one of the best master tacticians in the game.

But there was nothing masterful about parking it! Had he came and out played us and beat us tactically that way I might agree. Is Allardyce or Pulis a tactical master cos their teams can park it?

No they TRY to park it but seldom succeed. This is why they end up fighting relegation. Mourinho parks it depending on the opposition and the result he wants. He still has the record number of goals scored in a season in the EPL, you don't get there by only parking the bus.

Chelsea did not beat West Ham though so it must have been masterful?
