They needed a different approach to when a team can defend in front of them. Oh well. Mourinho also laying into Jamie Redknapp in his after match report ^_^ Those two really don't like eachother  This whole "plan A" stuff is getting annoying. At least they have a plan A... | ||

Liverpool play that same attacking style every game, they never adapt to who they face. Chelsea do, against teams they know they can get hurt by the sit back and defend then counter. Against teams they are favorite or better than on paper they play the attacking, fast paced passing style. But that backfires alot, see Crystal Palace - Villa - Stoke - Everton and Sunderland games ^_^ Having a Plan A and no other plan is very naive in a business, lets not forget this game is a business not just a game or entertainment, the money involved is just like SC2. Would you rather play the long drawn our macro plays with everything solidly, or would you rather 2 gate your way to a champions league and premiership double  City +8 on Liverpool now, come on be +10 by the end of today xD Also just put on Atletico Marid game to see Costa miss a 1on1 with the keeper ;o How we can do with that Costa showing up on Weds! | ||

I'm happy with getting to see Liverpool in champions league football again but I really had hopes for Gerrard to win the league. | ||

Especially since no one really knows what the fuck they mean by Plan A and Plan B or they come up with some BS tactical adjustment that makes sense in hindsight. At the end of the day if a team parks the bus there is no Plan B, hindsight is 20 20 and when stuff doesnt work the armchair experts come out with the same shit, "dont know how to break teams down that defend with 10" They know exactly how to do it the same way they do it every other week. Its just really really hard. If you give me a 200 million something squad i can make them park the Bus to, watch some film, setup matchups, pickout player tedencies, and then spend the week playing upto the game playing 10s in your half to get comfortable with it. Its the same thing Sam Allardyce does and Mourinho does it no differently, he just has better players to do it with Teams play with an identity, Mourinho teams have none, that is why Madrid hated him. That is also why his teams lose to shittier teams because they dont have an identity but can deflect teams that refuse to throw theirs away. Thats not to say he cant give teams an identity, he just chooses not to because that gets in the way of him playing the percentages of what he needs to do to win. And when it comes to big games, he sure can win, and winning is nice and all but my God for the neutral its such a drag and it sucks for football in general Its the same reason shit players like Lleyton Hewitt who have 0 weapons would win Grandslams a decade back, simple counter punching + Show Spoiler + (thank God tennis doesnt reward that shit anymore) But it works so thats that. But please enough with this BS about plan B's. As much as I would have liked for Liverpool to play for the draw I wouldve have also lost a fair bit of respect for them. | ||

Yes Liverpool cares a lot about your respect. Your respect is worth a lot more than THE title for Liverpool, right? ^^ | ||

Mourinho's teams have a clear identity : Do whatever you need to win. | ||

That was the hardest remaining game for them. Now they just need to win against Levante (A) and Malaga (H) and they are champions of La Liga! | ||

So the Barca game is still the key? Oh wait they dropped more points, they have 3 point lead on them if win game in hand oh wow xD | ||

Yeah but dropping out to Chelsea in the CL semi-final will deal a big blow to their moral and they might tank the next two matches. | ||
