If we go down then at least we have the comfort of knowing we have fuc.ked the mancs and if we win we can at least enjoy JT crying and having seen a game worth watching. No clever formations no wierd and wonderful tactics, just go out and take the game to them and let the chips fall where they will.

P10 W4 D3 L3 F10 A10 (Won 40%, Lost 30%)
All of those neatly fall within Rafa's reign. I might normally only include league meetings, but since these are very relevant and the needs of the away side make it such that they want to win, I feel all recent results are relevant. In the Premiership only, Chelsea have won twice and lost twice in their last five visits to Anfield. The form they are in, set to possibly break a Premiership scoring record, they may be unstoppable. If Ancelotti sets out to expose our defence I'm sure Chelsea will. And we have no real firepower to outscore them
Form - last 10 games
Chelsea : P10 W7 D2 L1 F31 A7
Liverpool : P10 W5 D2 L3 F19 A8
In fairness Chelsea's scoring is bolstered by two games in which they scored seven
Perhaps the biggest factor in the outcome of this will be the need to win. whiskeynose is counting on Liverpool pride, but Chelsea determination to win and having a reason to win that doesn't involve doing a hated rival a favour, which surely must trump playing for pride. Sure we beat Blackburn yonks ago and it didn't cost them the title, but we can't rely on that happening again. I hope Rafa rests a few players, one or two minor injuries enough to make it maybe five changes which will not only wind whiskeynose up, but will give us fresh legs - we did play 120 minutes on Thursday and the players are exhausted and deflated. I think whiskeynose having his twopenneth's worth was inevitable, he thinks his hot air is required to try and influence outcomes the way he wants them. Be annoyed Rafa, spite whiskeynose and make yourself a legend

It happens every year it seems. Conservative style early in the season leads to desperation at the end of the season. It happened last season.
