But they were right that we lost our patience and were trying too hard to force balls into the box too early.

More patience and balls at the feet of Suarez and Coutinho would have been better than what we did on Sunday.

Carra and Neville are there ro analyze what's happened, and that's their job. It's hard to analyze details before they have actually happened, right?

But we didn't score on Sunday and most probably because Chelsea sat back

You're right. They are there to analyse and that can only be done after. But it's also all too easy to sit in judgement when you have hindsight. Neither of them would have told Rodgers to play any different. As for panicking, that's the players fault. The manager can only give instructions and I'm sure he wouldn't have told them to panick.

Wrong tactics, thanks atleti

That would be great because you have to get pretty far to play a team in your own country.

Oh goody.
A bit of restlessness in the camp is it?
Fantastic!

Really pleased to see someone within the plastic camp agrees with us all too.


Eden Hazard has appeared to question Jose Mourinho's tactics after Chelsea went out of the Champions League to Atletico Madrid.

The Blues were criticised for defensive methods employed in the semi-final first leg in Madrid and in the Premier League win at Liverpool before tumbling out of Europe after a 3-1 home loss at Stamford Bridge.

"Chelsea aren't set up to play football," Belgian Hazard told beIN SPORTS' French station.

He also continued saying that Chelsea is a counter attacking team like Real Madrid against Bayern. I won't call Chelsea like Real right now.

Quick question: if mourinho the magnificent was the manager of liverpool this season would we be top with 2 games to go?

We might be box. His style is more defensive though so that wouldn't be playing to our strengths.

The master at work

"I listened to the interview," said Mourinho, whose side lost 3-1 to Atlético and play Norwich in the Premier League on Sunday. "There was nothing critical in what he said. When the comments come from a player like Eden it's normal because he's not the kind of player to sacrifice himself for the team. Normally you get these kind of comments from players like him, from players that can't resolve a problem like we had in the first goal.

"Eden is the kind of player that is not so mentally ready to look back to his left-back and to leave his life for him. If you see the first goal of Atlético you completely understand where the mistake was and why we conceded that goal. The perfect team at the top level cannot make these kinds of mistakes."
