Yep, he meant Chelsea have the away goal advantage, if the return ends 0-0 after 120 mins Chelsea go through
I CBA to read back but I'm guessing the Biscan argument was that Chelsea having the away goal means Jose will sit back and settle for the slender lead...?
You think we're going to keep a clean sheet over 120 minutes against Chelsea? Although, if Mourinho uses his tactics he used today then wouldn't put it past him trying to play for a 0-0
No it's advantage to Chelsea. Your reasoning just doesn't make sense. That was a great performance by us. We should have won this - 6 shots on target against their one shot /penalty. I wonder whether Rodgers will ever start with Gerrard in the premiership. We play better without him. He should only bit parts now.
Not quite.. Meant that if it finishes 0-0 we still have ET to score a goal and if it finishes 1-1, we only need to score 1 more in ET to make Chelsea score 2 more
Rodgers: "We're getting better with every game, you can see the confidence returning. We were very unfortunate not to win the game. We went behind against the run of play but we created opportunities." "You've seen the return of the aggression in our intensity. The only thing which was missing was more than one goal. You'd expect Chelsea to open up a little more in the second leg and that will help us because of the pace and invention we have in the team." "They have got a good record at home but we haven't conceded in our last three games away from home. We know it's going to be a difficult game. It felt like a big game tonight and the performance was big."
Good display from us,we deserved more than we got. Great second half ,we had them on the back foot for most of it.Unbelievable save from Courtois. Raheems effort was a real strikers goal,wanna see him being more direct like that more often. P.S. Isn't Costa a ****
I just stated it was our advantage as we have 120 minutes to score 2 goals rather than 90... ever the optimist me... all the opposition decided to turn it into a big argument because they couldn't use a bad performance to wind us up with instead
Look if we can't score in 120 minutes of football we're no better than one of Van Gaal's gash teams so let's not worry about that outcome
Sterling still can't strike a football properly... he scuffed his shot a bit (hit it into the ground) and he had another one on his left foot he scuffed along the ground and wide and another he ballooned over the bar. He has loads of talent but finishing and striking a ball aren't his strong points yet...
Thought everyone put a shift in but special mention to the new signings - Can, Markovic, Moreno. And also the youngsters - Sterling and Coutinho. Sakho was a rock at the back. These are all young players - if we can keep them and allow them to develop together for the next 2-3 years, we could have something special on our hands.
Sorry Astro but if Moureen lets them play (he was in away mode tonight) i still see them beating you quite easily. They are a formidable side when allowed to be.
So 0-0 at the Bridge and we're out. 2-2 we go through, thought you said earlier with these 2 scorelines it goes to ET I only say because then after your Rodgers post match comments you go on to say that we're out as thinngs stand
Asked if he would be tempted to make a cheeky bid for Steve Gerrard, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho told 5 live: "Or perhaps to take him on loan? "I would love the Premier League to keep the best players and I believe he has the quality to play for more years."
