If he makes stupid decisions then he is going to get the stick, but when he makes the right decsions its important we show are appreciation and support, im not mad on Roy, but yesterday was the best game ive seen us play under him. We have had 4 straight wins now, weve gained some momentum so lets be positive, for the first time in a long time us Liverpool fans have something to really feel good about. We wern't lucky to beat chelsea, there was no freak goal.. we just outplayed them and absorbed any attacking threat.

Well done to Roy and the team.

I don't agree, he's been playing them tactics every single game so it's not different from the rest of the season so far. Like I said in the thread I opened it's the next 3 games that will determine roys future, all winnable games against weaker opposition. We shouldn't be going into them games the way we have been playing with the tactics he sets the team.

for 45 minutes we murdered chelsea and scored two goals against a team that has conceded 3 in ten games. thats not the same team that we have seen sputter along at the start of the season. we were unrecognisable. 2nd half we defended our lead succesfully and nearly scored twice. i agree that we will judge him over the next three games but not including yesterdays result in that judgement is a joke.

dingo I agree give credit where it's due and the players got the result, but to say we outplayed them, no mate never happened. We did absorb alot if there attacking threat but with abit of luck but anyother day chelsea would of scored 4 of them clear chances they had yday. I loved the battling spirit yday and the way the the players responded to the atmosphere, but we've got to be realistic, we where outplayed by a team who took there chances on a normal day, and it wad the same tactics that saw us outplayed by Blackpool Sunderland and west brom.

At home we've won 3 drew 2 lost one, so that's half of our home games we've won playing this way. That proves we've got alot of changes in the way we play at home to improve that percentage.

anyone else think we were outplayed yesterday?

I agree that we need to be able to start dominating the so called weaker teams.

For all of the rent boys possession i never thought we were outplayed and tbh felt quite comfortable 2nd half.

i thought overall it was even, but we took our chances. they missed some and we missed some. no matter who you are, you have to absorb some pressure, especially against chelsea, and we did that. but apparently this result and performance doesnt count.

In terms of possession and territory we was outplayed. We struggled to get out of our half in the 2nd half. I didn't feel comfortable watching that 2nd half I tell thee

Most of their possession was in areas that were'nt hurting us,its not like we had shots raining down on us for 45 mins.
