Closed Chelsea v Liverpool

[The Skipper 20,593]

and they said Chelsea can't play football...

We're playing the same way we used to the first half of the season. With the pressure off, the players are back to their carefree playing. The rotation helped and we're the Chelsea we'll be for most of next season.

People that insist that José can't play like this really make fool of themselves. Mourinho is just too smart for them...

And Diego Costa is class and a legend in the middle of the fans

You know I criticised Jose a lot last season but I didn't at all this season, simply based on the fact of how he got us to play in the first half of the season. I understood why we locked down after. I was just happy to see that he was capable of coordinating his team like that.

Poor defending there. Also Hazard just hasnt been the same since PFA.

[Barbara 15,149]

and not surprisingly enough, this thread is moving in snail pace. Why would be buzzing? We're playing good football, Mourinho started an academy player, we even have much higher possession, although I wonder if now that we conceded people will come from their hiding places.

[Laylabelle 9,362]

Out of all people as well..come on Chelsea

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Shit defending there Cahill.

[lucio 5,418]

Mikel and hill not good enough there

[lucio 5,418]

Shit defending there Cahill.

As usual

you and a few others have been fair. I think he deserves some criticism even for some isolated decisions this season, but the slamming he's been getting around here (especially before the title was finally confirmed) has been absurdly unfair. He adapted when we needed to be more pragmatic. Maybe he had been a tad too much cautious, but I don't have major complaints.

Oh Mikel....

[Viper22 2,418]

Ivanovic giving away a stupid foul and Mikel falling asleep to lose his man.

They are both complete liabilities and I really hope Mou can see that.

They should both be sold in the summer, to anyone who can take them off us. This isn't a knee jerk, Ivan has been a liability at the back for the last 2 seasons and Mikel has always had a catastrophic mistake just around the corner.

Ivanovic is in the 'can't be arsed' mode today. Just watch how lazy that pass and challenge were. Absolute farcical!!

[LAM09 6,755]

Quite a comfortable first half, but we going in level at the break. Some players haven't done much thus far.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Hazard has been utter shite since the United game. Partying too hard.

[DYC. 7,542]

Cesc is vibing, grooving, jamming. Looking like the Cesc of the first half of the season.

Eden and Willian quiet. RLC invisible. I'm going to take a wild guess and say he's not a DM. He certainly doesn't move like a DM.

Steven Gerrard of all people, seriously. 1 goal in 39 games against Chelsea before this game.

Hope the boys can find that final ball in the second half and win. Liverpool don't deserve a draw.

[LeChuck 22]

Another stupid foul by Ivanovic...

Hopefully, we'll get rid of him, Mikel and Cahill in the summer.

[Muzchap 8,966]

Should have played Azpi and Luis

I would rather see RLC and Fab switch

Sad for Zouma - looks like his knee - hope not could be cruciate

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Remy looking good. Loftus-Cheek looking good too. Overall we've been good, just needed to score another, we really should have.
