Haha Hazard... "Same as him.."

[Laylabelle 9,381]

Does the away goal rule exist in this cup?

at the very very end

Urgh pens..can't do pens

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Awful performance. But I guess it's part of Jose's tactics to play safe. Dreadful to watch but that's typical Mourinho, not afraid of playing ugly to get results.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

How the hell we got a positive result with that display, I honestly do not know. And we really could have even nicked a win if either Cahill or Matic used their brains on the goal. Oh well....excuse me while I go try out that Terry-Sterrling Kama Sutra position

adejectives to describe our players for this match

terrible

awful

horrendous

pathetic

"was he on the pitch"

absolute shit

piss poor

hopeless

willian

cahill

and then there was courtois- who has single handedly kept us in the competition.

also lets not forget the flop of the match - jose. i love the guy but no sub when we were being played out of the park. that 2nd half performance was a definite stratergy to keep the lead and counter which totally back fired.

-Rémy must start over Drogba any day

But he won´t. Deal with it!

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

That's why I think before the match, Zouma and possibly Remy should have playing in this kind of match, and the result wouldn't that much different though. They usually will perform well in circumstances like this, possibly could be better result.

[DYC. 7,542]

Yeah, I was angry at the boring footy we played at Swansea.

Playing attacking football at Swansea isn't exactly a sign of courage. I don't understand why sides like Liverpool get this much respect.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

SHOCKING AND EMBARRASSING PERFORMANCE, this is all can be used to sum it up.

I just hope we don't get spanked by PSG in 4-5 weeks by playing like this.

[edetarod 2,155]

ah well atleast the return leg will be interesting now

[Toli 977]

this goes on mourinho. disgusting performance. matic+mikel isnt working at all ffs. feeling bad for cesc, hazard and Diego. what a bad performance.

[yuvala 2,167]

We (Mou) went for a draw.

Got it.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Yeah, I was angry at the boring footy we played at Swansea.

He has virtually cost us ties by his pragmatism, Atletico vs Chelsea played 7 fucking defenders, Man City Vs Chelsea leading 1-0 and down to 10 men decides to park the bus, Chelsea vs Man Utd against the worst utd we have ever played decides to seat back and invite pressure, Liverpool vs Chelsea decides not to even make a substitution until 89 min and overplays players again. I can even go back to his Madrid days, against Dortmund in 2013 he fucked it up by trying to park the bus even if he had the better players talk about pragmatism at its best. Swansea is a one off

[lionsden 4,689]

I will say this. What I saw tonight isn't so much about coward tactics (yes we were very cautious at times) but more about our inability to keep the ball and create chances when put under heavy pressure. We kept losing posession. It's no surprise that we have been incredibly shit everytime we have faced a team that pressed us aggressively for 90 mins and this is partly down to the manager and the players as well to an extent. . . .Cahill kept hoofing it, JT was uncharacteristically poor in posession tonight, Matic and Mikel were taking turns to see who gives it away the quickest and so on. Liverpool were so much comfortable than us at retaining posession under pressure, it's a joke.

Back to the drawing board. we need to learn how to control the game better especially against high energy pressing teams and away from home. You control the game and the talk of cowardly tactics wouldn't exist.

[zolayes 14,489]

We (Mou) went for a draw.

Got it.

we started with mikel so draw target was obvious

[Beepu 1,714]

1-1 away at Anfield is not a bad result in a two legged cup match, but the manner of the draw was abit disappointing. Thought the equalizer was way too easy.

This though.....
