Rodgers on Chelsea approach: 'It's the polar opposite to what we do ... it's not difficult to coach, to put 10 players on the 18-yard box'
Rodgers asked whether he would ever set up a team to play like Chelsea. Answers, 'What do you think?'
Rodgers: 'Jose will probably shove his CV in front of me [to justify approach] but it's not my way of working, I like to take initiative'
--

Hilarious how quickly they turn bitter

I like those answers. Ridgers was quite dismissive of his old mentor.

It's not hard to stick 9 men behind the ball for 90 minutes, any top team could do it without conceding.

And we had a plan B, it was Iago Aspas.

What plan B can anyone have when teams play like that? The only thing you can do is sign 2 6ft7" lads and cross it in all day long.

He's done that against better teams than Liverpool and it's impossible to play against top quality players when they play like that. The difference between Allardyce and Jose, is that one of them gets to have better players on the pitch to do the damage at the other end.

If that was the case while winning 2-0 then every top team would do it surely??

Can't blame Mourinho, expect him with the players he's got to actually go out there and play attacking football but he's kept a clean sheet and won the game. I must be one of the only ones that doesn't mind it when teams defend like that, there's more than 1 way to win a game. Frustrating when you're the team facing it though.

No because some people like to play football.

It's not even playing that way that was the annoying thing anyway, it's the hypocrisy of it. He went on massive rants about West Ham and Spurs doing it against Chelsea and then goes and does it himself.

That's what was happening a few years ago, when all the matches between the top 4 were always let downs of 0-0/1-0's.

Now now my bitter scouse friends, it didn't take Chelsea's amazing defending to dent your title chances, it took ŕ **** up from lord scouse himself

The bus went forward and slammed 2 goals in. Maybe if Suarez wasn't ghosting in another big game you might of done the same . Don't worry. He will score 3 against Palace anyway.

The Bus was more like a fragile beaten up RV, Crippled and Rusty Ashley Cole, Matic, a youth player who hadn't played a league game, Ivanovic, Azy, Mikel and a 2nd choice keeper

Imagine if Liverpool don't win it though. Gerrard really won't be the same ever again...I would feel bad for him, but then I remember he's a twat so whatever
