Well, Chelski are a bunch of cry babies and Maureen was faking to be positive. I'm sure he couldn't sleep last night as everyone expected us to lose. But what the hell, we always play better when we are the underdog. This also show who has class and who doesn't. With that kind of money spent, they would be ashamed to draw 0:0 at home to the undermaned and poor LFC. I just feel great when I see my boss (a band wagon Chelski fan) and colleagues (another band wago Chelski fan) this morning when they pretend nothing happened last night. I didn't say a word to them as I remember they said Liverpool had no chance whatsoever yesterday before the game. Its fantastic as the result of the game speak for itself. Go Reds Go!! :;):

Mourinho was clearly rattled once more by this war of attrition and the simple fact that Liverpool refused to move aside is giving the little Gypsy an ulcer .
The man has no class and less grace and it will be an honour to watch the Reds destroy his hopes of selling Abramovic a fairy tale .
I certainly expected more than a stinging rebuke to Liverpool’s fans about how we shouldn’t take a victory for granted, 99.9% will applaud loudly Mourinho's fall from the pedestal he's built for his colossal ego, (Traore and Carragher were superb tonight bring on Tuesday )

Mourinho's comment after the game that 99.9% of Liverpool fans already think their team is in the final was just ridiculous. It shows how desperate he is to shift the pressure from his tiring and (slightly) stuttering team, whom he insisted would win. He fooled no one with his cockiness after this game.

this is similar to the barcelona game (during the 2001 uefa cup semi finals).

We drew there 0-0, then beat them 1-0 here. We can do it again. Jose knows it. If tiago and johnson plays at anfield...we will walk all over them.

To me they were just mind games being played by Mourinho, mind games that are played all the time. It's as if he's trying to conjure a backs to the wall job by claiming the media and the rest of England are against Chelsea and have written their chances off following last night's win by offering such a strong converse opinion.

Dangerous games to play, especially if Rafa doesn't react

Mind games are so 1990s....

And so far, i have only seen mind games work on kevin keegan......

Can't wait for 03/05/05....we are going to turkey.......

The problem is most of you are already suggesting we're through.

Chelsea are capable of winning at anfield. Let alone a 1-1 draw.

Hence the reason i was really ****** off that Xabi has been booked as i can't see where the creative spark we need to WIN the match will come from without him...

hopefully from the same place in came from the WIN the home game against juventus.

Must be bonkers to even suggest that we are already thru...of course Chelsea are capable of winning, but then so are we.

But to bring them back to Anfield on level terms means we have the upper hand (however slight) and an advantage going into this game. (i.e much better than having to play the return leg away with the game at even Steven)

agreed, we played average in the first leg, our passing was 1 yard short...bring them back here hit them like we did to Juventus and sitback and watch them suffer!

by **RED BEERGOGGLES** » Thu Apr 28, 2005 6:20 pm

Mourinho is sadly disillusioned if he thinks for one solitary moment Liverpool are going to mount an all out attack, therefore allowing Cech to hoof the ball into our six yard box at every available opportunity.
Benitez is a master tactician who will out fox Mourinho and his kick and rush methods if Drogba cant bully defenders ie Bayern Munich then his one fail safe is nullified .
Mourinho quite simply hasn’t a clue of how to topple us, nor has he a single notion what tactics Benitez will employ .
Lets face facts would Mourinho have possibly taken a poor Liverpool side this far ?
No give Rafa Mourinho’s resources and he would have swept the board clean ,the man is a phenomenon and long may he reign

I'm not sure i would call Mourinho desperate or facing inevitable defeat. Clearly he was a little rattled by the result last night and i think he had expected to win the game. Remember his Porto team drew the home leg 0-0 in last years semi with Deportivo before going through on away goals after drawing the 2nd leg 1-1.

As for his post-match comments. Nothing more than the soundbites and bulls.hit usually heard on WWF.

Mourhinio is a man running scared. shifting the pressure onto liverpool is a joke, cause we will have 13 men on the pitch (including the kop) come tuesday. plus chelseas will have played an exhasting game saturdy evening v bolton. remember bolton wanna get 4th spot!
so the little lambs will have weary legs come tuesday!

we need to attack, attack, attack attack attack!

Agree with stu.....0-0 is not a bad result but it's not great either.We have to win the game next week and the loss of Alonso is the most crucial event of the whole tie.He controlled the tempo of the game last night as he did at Anfield before the scum deliberately broke his ankle.We the "crowd" have to raise the team to new levels on Tuesday and suck that ball into the net.

Supersub, i wouldnt worry. We didnt have Xabi V Juventus did we?

as long as stevie, and possibly hamann over biscsan, then we have great chance

by **65-1114725958** » Fri Apr 29, 2005 1:22 am

as everyone knows, he is just shifting the presuure onto lfc.
If we get beat at anfield, everone in the football world expected us to anyway!

No presuure on us whatsoever,

they still have to score to win,

by the time they do score, we will be 3-1 up.
