Jose Mourinho's Chelsea

Well BR has already said that he went to shake hands with Maureen but he ran off down the tunnel and there was no after match drink as Maureen also refused that. Like I said he is disrespectful but at least he is consistent. There are some things money can't buy.

Sorry if that doesn't go along with your theory - it's ok Fish - most know what he is like anyway :thup:

Perhaps he didn't want to hang around to hear Rodgers' sour grapes outburst.

Hand shakes, either before or after games, really are meaningless as they are very often insincere and rarely convey to the onlooker any sense of respect between the protagonists

Either way it is unrealistic to expect classy behaviour from any manager in the aftermath of a highly charged match.

Most managers appear to manage to behave in a respectful manner afterwards regardless of victory

And not sure you would exactly call what Rodgers said as an "outburst" - he gave his view on the tactics and congratulated them on their win :thup:

As I said, not to this onlooker. A perfunctory touching of hands rather than a genuine handshake plus rarely , if ever, any eye contact does not suggest much respect to me.

:rofl: Rodgers threw his teddy out. Claims only one team played to win the game, but Chelsea won the game:confused:
Obviously Rodgers wasn't listening in class when Jose was teaching the art of defending.
Rodgers was very naive the way he went into the game,a draw would have been enough but he went out all guns blazing.
Also very unsporting of Liverpool not to give the ball back to Chelsea after it was kicked out for a injured player. Not really surprising tho.

Think if you watch the post match press conference there is no "teddies" being thrown out just a view on the game in a calm and respectful manner ( I know that must be hard for you to understand when a manager acts that way )

Yep Rodgers went out to win the game - got no problem with that at all. It's helped us challenge for the title this season be above Chelsea and City's multi million pound squads. Will look forward to him continuing the same tactics of looking to attack and win the games - it's refreshing and great to see.

Who was injured and when did you kick the ball out ? Sorry but you will have to remind me about that ?

Like I said Naive. An experienced manager would have set his team up not to get beat.
Think you need to watch the game again Phillip,maybe without the Rose tinted glasses.

And as I said I have no problems with his tactics and look forward to him continuing with those same tactics in the future. Prefer seeing the team set up to win - refreshing

Not bad for an inexperienced manager to be sat a top the prem table

So who was the inured player ? Had a quick look through the transcripts and no mention of anything like you suggest ? Can't remember any mass booing from the Chelsea fans ? Or are you just making it up ?

You actually looked through the transcripts:o anyone else & I'd think they were joking.
 
Not read all the pages but I would expect a team who are accused of 'parking the bus' to gain a 0-0 draw and not win 2-0.

Tbf mate they could still be playing now & Liverpool wouldn't have scored. Gerrard just thrashing at every ball & Suarez looked far from been in the Messi/Ronaldo league.

So who was the player ? Or a case of telling porkies to make a team look bad :rolleyes:

The transcript of the match is at the bottom of the BBC report of the match

It was Ba,midway through the 2nd half. We were been shown replays of the incident. Gary Neville commented on it. If I wanted to make a team look bad I'd have put a link up of the trouble with the fans after the game :thup:
 
Funny isn't it?

My team get a new manager, he sorts out the defence and makes us really difficult to beat, we rarely score more than one goal in a game and (rightly) Tony Pulis is possibly hailed as Manager of the Year!

Jose does the same for only two games and he's not seen as playing proper football?

I'm sure you can provide proof to back up the statement ?

Yes let's not forget the fans and their singing on the train up or the twitter messages from certain fans with pictures of knives and the threats - classy

But you don't want to go into that do you because let's be honest your fans aren't angels :thup:

So let's leave that there

Your manager didn't spend £109 million on players this year - spending the money on attacking( hence the word attacking mids ) and a striker.

Aaaaawwww you really think I need to prove something to you:confused: that's cute.

Well when people normally make disparaging statements it's normally more valid with proof

But I'll treat the comment in the vain it should be :thup:

How a manager chooses to deploy his team is entirely his decision, it's the opposition managers job to counter any plan!
