The Brit

you have seen more of him today than you did in the match...he was sh*te

wouldn't be for the first time would it?...but feel free to lay into jose and the team just as we are all depressed enough with defeat

perhaps you guys should ask yourselves why liverpool fans were so quiet for most of the second half and extra time..I can remember hearing our fans singing 'it's so quiet at anfield'...why was that? we were playing the better footy and pool were just getting everyone behind the ball to cope

abramovich, I think your level of disappointment has blinded you...one, do you really think Jose was going to say otherwise? two) do you really think Liverpool were better than us?

I bet if we'd won the shoot-out people's ratings would be much more realistic as would be the post-match comments...people lost their perspective in their disappointment...yes i wear blue specs, but I wonder if some of you were watching the same game as me

people have so hyped up the first half it's untrue...after 20 mins cech had not one save to make, the crowd was quiet and we were in no danger...then cole gives away a free kick and they score, totally out the blue...any euro team would have been happy with the start we made, but that goal changed the game...we began to play a bit more after that and liverpool basically relied on the counter and sat back from then on.. here are my ratings: Cech 7 made some good saves ferreiria 7 solid terry 8 more like his old self essien 8 crouch went off having done sod all...says it all cole a 5 terrible going forward, not once did he produce a cross a la bridge and wasn't great against crappy pennant either maka 9 class display...best showing for months and didn't deserve to be on losing side mikel 8 composure and good passing throughout lamps 6 the last 2 months has seen his worst form in a chelsea shirt in his career...set pieces awful, game passed him by...this guy should be rested till wembley cole j 6 tried hard, but flicks and tricks didn't come off Kalou 5 should have been subbed so much earlier...he is very raw and tends to go missing in big games like this drogba 7 battled hard on poor service all night and helped out at the back on all set pieces subs robben 5 tried his best after another month out but will be remembered for that pen swp 5 brought on way too late geremi 0 penalty from hell

i find some of the criticism incredible...yes we didn't cut liverpool apart and we did play too many long balls to drogba, but some of the comments are so ott...talk about hitting a team when they're down...we have lessons to learn for sure, but we haven't become as bad as people make out...are you saying Liverpool a better team after the way they played this season and over the two legs...don't let the disappointment of defeat cloud your judgement

To quote kevin keegan 'i'd love it' if they beat utd and then liverpool...that is my dream now

i'm going to be depressed for days, but my love of chelsea is as strong as ever...we are going to take a lot of criticism, some deserved, some not, but we will be back next season, no doubts

I just can't believe we lost to that shi*e team...they were so poor...very few of their players had a good game...mascherano, and the two centre backs and the keeper in the shoot-out, that's it... for us I'd say respect to maka, his best game for months and showed why he had this role named after him, mikel class, terry leader, essien awesome, drogba battled,

I saw that, and was shocked to see Robben take a penalty. It was not hard to read his lips when Jose approached him, so I have no idea why Jose picked him. Out of spite?! I do not want Jose to go, but perhaps we can have a substitute coach for Jose when we play Liverpool, since Jose's game tactics versus Liverpool always leave a lot to be desired. It is like Benitez owns him, and knows it. i don't agree that benitez outwitted jose...liverpool were barely in our half for the second hour...sure they marshalled drogba but any idiot can think of that...luck was heavily on liverpool's side like it was two years ago

for the second hour it was all chelsea possession wise...we just didn't do enough with it

i knew we'd lose the shoot-out...i wathced it in hope rather than expectation...i had the same feeling i get every time england has a penalty shoot-out

don't agree kev...i thought pool were poor for long periods in both ties...on chances over the two legs we had a lot more but didn't take them...I think liverpool were very average and i can't believe they're in the final...as for us we became far too obsessed with long balls to drogba...when we got it down and passed it we looked so much better

can't believe we're losing this...they've had one shot and scored...we've not been pretty but the gameplan was working perfectly...and their so called atmosphere...it all went quiet after 10 mins and they only started again when they scored...predictable bias itv coverage has made me want to barf...we have to play better up front to get out of this now though

if we lose I won't be able to leave my house for a week!

that hits the nail on the head for me...this is more than just a possible Champions League final place being at stake here and effectively our season...it's the scousers and the media who love them, plus the whole country, being against us and ready to give us hell

cliffo - why don't you just jump off?

The spanish slaphead has also tried to p[ut the boot in saying jose's selections on saturday cost chelsea the league and the pressure is all on us cos we have lost the league etc...it's funny how when jose makes comments it's evidence of lack of class dignity etc yet it's fine for the liverpool dullfest to say what he likes. oh his nauseating dig that liverpool fans are the real 'special ones' really made me puke

yes star, good to see you back...the more old school fans on here the better...i must admit i was thinking of you on saturday (not in that way!) as confirmation of our second place in prem was almost assured...I just hope the second part of your prediction comes true as well!

a big hoo hah was made of the fact boulha was arnesen's signing and the way jose has treated him seems to suggest that's true...he didn't like sheva either and look what happened to him earlier in the season...the difference is roman wanted sheva, boulha doesn't have as powerful friends

this will get a few of you going...just to remind you this is the same tosser who hired steve claridge as his manager at weymouth and blew a fortune! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/a ... ge_id=1951

i have consulted mystic meg and she predicts that boulahrouz will ask for a transfer this summer! nice to see jose is just as clairevoyant (spell check please)...liverpool played a second string today...funny that...media made out jose was being disrespectful when he said the other day that liverpool are just a cup team and have been only playing for champs league since january...what say they now?

what a nob! jose doing a keegan, yeah right! jose has pulled the same stunts since he arrived, even before that when porto knocked you out the champs league...fergie didn't excatly look cool ranting on friday that jose should be punished for the same thing he has done for years! Utd have won the league fair play, but that doesn't give you the right to talk sh*te (repeat what the ill informed, biased media write)...and don't talk crap about not wanting to win champs league...fergie is desperate...sure you're not getting excuses in early just in case it goes wrong?

Did stelling really say that? if he did what a
