All I Got Was a Lousy Programme!
By 100% Chelsea
April 24 2006
Questions have to be asked of Jose Mourinho and his team selection and tactics. Why didn't JM start with Robben, Cole and Duff in the first place and why therefore did he wait so long to make the changes when it was evidently clear that at every available opportunity, Liverpool packed out......
.......their midfield with at least five players every time Chelsea were in possession? What is it with Chelsea, Liverpool, semi-finals and downright diabolical refereeing decisions? Graham Poll gave a free-kick at the edge of the penalty area after John Terry was deemed to have raised a boot on Garcia. RESULT - Goal to Liverpool with alot of help from a poxy defensive wall. Poll then ruled out a John Terry equaliser gesturing with his arms that the Chelsea Captain was pushing down on Riise as he rose to head the ball in from close-range. Two costly and diabolical decisions that cost Chelsea the chance of a magnificent League and Cup double. But in truth, Chelsea got what they deserved and that was nothing. For seventy-minutes Chelsea didn't have a clue. All their play was centered in a packed and congested midfield and to add insult to injury there were three wide-men sitting on the bench. LAUGHABLE AND DISGRACEFUL! Del Horno played like he had already gone on his Summer holidays. Afraid to say that Frank probably had his worse game for Chelsea, but he shouldn't have to shoulder all of the responsibility as it was the tactics employed by Mourinho, Frank was asked to play. Ferreira and Geremi should have reversed their positions - Ferreira at right back and Geremi in right-midfield and Joe Cole should regret his stunning close range miss deep into injury time, for the rest of his life. Anyway. Who am I complain? My day on Saturday lasted 21 hours. I am over £250 out of pocket and all I got was a lousy programme!! COME ON CHELSEA! 100% CHELSEA!
