Chelsea face Liverpool in a clash at the top of the table. The tactical battle between Jose Mourinho & Brendan Rodgers is expected to be a contest of minds. Liverpool are clear by 5 points on top of the table and it is likely they will win the league. But should Chelsea get three points today, there is an outside chance for the title, provided Liverpool drop points.

Gerard has been given the league title as a reward for being english and as england captain,he deserves to win the Title,wether he merits it or not.City and Chelsea were felled to allow liverpool pick up the title and honour gerard.
Jose has no business managing Cfc for that match,rui faria should just take over so mou can training the real team while the game is going on.Why bother to go to anfield to be insulted.
So much for english football.When England wins the world cup.Just being honest in my views.
As per Jose being dynamic, if he were he would unlocked defences of the mediocre teams that sit deep against us.
I bet Jose only practice positional strategies in defence and breaking on the counter against possession based teams, just a guess. Either way, The squad @ Jose disposal is expected to play a more intricate pace based football- Like a Madrid or a Dortmund to me but Jose prefers them to conform to his already found out style of sitting deep and hitting teams on d counter and when it is vice versa- his teams lack the idea to break down teams with the expection of individual brilliance from the likes of Hazard and Oscar. Our play is too predictable and slow when we v been given the initiative to come @ a team- If Jose can balance or marry his strategy and best obvious strategy a team consisting of Eden, Oscar, Willian, Schurrle, Salah shd b playing den our team can beat anyone. Till then we can only hope- that a trophyless season wouldn’t bring about a managerial change- No manager in the Roman’s Era has survived a trophyless season.
All the best against Liverpool and Atletico

In fact,if you want to becomerelevant,talk about Mou and yourspeech must make headline.4. How can 250 JOURNALISTS gatherto welcome one person (Jose)back to stamford bridge?5. Any other coach canspend anhour talking and nobody willcomplain but if Mou says a word,the entire world will complain andeven label him talkative. What anIRONY!6. Mou is theonly coach that everyclub would love to have. Nomatter how they pretend todislike him they will always wishto have him as their coach.7. Mourinho is NEVER sacked. Heleaves on mutual consent simplyb/c the club fears that they mayneed him back very soon.8. He prides himself with 20trophies bagged while touringEurope’s major leagues. Therefore,his versatility is equal to none.9.Mou is not comfortable with aloss. He gives everything to win.To him, he can’t touch failure witha long spoon and even if he fails,he fails while daring greatly towin.10. Scientists talk about cloningbut Mou can’t be cloned.How I wish we can have manyMous so that some clubs can haveone and stop hating.

I don’t see us winning with a second team @ Anfield. The only positive thing os Mourinho will give chance to some of the youngsters.
