Twitter seems to have a few comments about some Chelsea fans who apparently spat on the Hillsborough memorial getting a rather short, sharp reminder of their stupidity.

Outrageous, if true. There seems to be quite a bit of photographic evidence of Chelsea fans getting attacked whilst not being near the Hillsborough memorial, mind; plus there was the incidents against Hull and City fans earlier in the year.

In fairness if anyone did spit on that memorial any RS in the vicinity would be well justified in pointing out the error of his ways.
 
I'm a bit sceptical about that story, surely ANY football fan could not be that stupid -- in plain sight within the view of Liverpool fans? Somewhat hard to believe IMO.

Must have been an infuriating game to watch for anyone wanting Liverpool to win (that included me as a neutral but who was favouring Liverpool). Chelsea did exactly what they needed to do and defended better than I've seen any team do this season -- frustrating!

That Gerrard error though! Painful to watch.
 
I think Liverpool (Rogers) got that totally wrong after the first 20 minutes. Why so gung-ho when a draw would have been fine? They've put themselves in the shit here.

Fair enough they're designed to score goals and especially so in the first half it seems but after 15-20 minutes they should have backed off a bit and...if not going to a plan B then adjusting the plan A.

Rogers complained about us parking the bus....has he seen us play in Europe the last few years? We try to grind out wins and draws by frustrating the opposition...it's what we do and we're really good at it. We've done it against the best out there the last few years. What was he expecting?

However, you're still in with a very decent shout of the league and this will be something you can learn from. You're going to need to learn from that game, both using those tactics and combating them, for next year.
 
We were still catching our breath after laughing at Rogers spitting the dummy so hard.
I must admit, its been strange going through the year with most of the posts on this thread being by Liverpool fans.

Are Neverton going to do us a favour v city or are they just going to roll over and forget about top 4.?

I think we were doing okay, right up to the 48th minute. If Gerrard hadn't slipped I think that could easily have been a 0-0 draw.

Good points. Definitely a learning curve for the team and Rodgers in particular. I think when we sign a few more top players we might have more options for a plan B. I think Chelsea are the only team in the league who could have got that result against us at Anfield on current form. Fair play to you lot. You certainly ground out that win.
 
My GF's a Liverpool fan so we've been watching, and God, that last goal was embarrassing. Even I could have walked the ball into the goal there.

Very true. I would have gone 5-4-1 and watched that peter out to nothing. Chelsea weren't going to stretch for more than 0-0, surprised they didn't play it into the corner from the kick off! Looking for the counter and that really about it.

Our defense is the problem and it was rubbed into their faces big time by Chelsea. How does a slip by a defensive midfielder mean its a one on one? Might be able to out score other teams but not against a team with only 26 goals against this season.
 
Brendan has gone from 7th in his first season to still in the title race at the death in his second. Fair fucks to him he's the best manager in the league.
 
Assuming City score no more that is.

That's allowing them to increase their goal difference by four over their next three games. What would happen in the event of two teams having the same goal difference? They beat us at the Etihad 2-1, and we beat them 3-2. Would that have any bearing on matters?

Game of rock, scissors, papers best 3 out of 5 iirc.
