Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez had a dig at Chelsea rival Jose Mourinho ahead of Sunday's clash. Asked about Mourinho's suggestion that Liverpool are under more pressure this year because of their summer signings, Benitez said: "The managers are not important. It is much better for the game if we talk about players like Steven Gerrard and John Terry. "He said he does not talk about other teams, maybe he forgot this time. Anyway, we know we need to win a lot of games because we are a top side. "But if you analyse who finished at the top of the table last season, and who has spent the most money over the last five years, two teams are ahead of the rest."
This is my favourite line from the quote I think Jose has learnt to keep his lips sealed when it comes to Chelsea teams coming to Anfield. When he went on about Garcia's goal not crossing the line the Kop replies with "was it in or was it out, was it in or was it out!!". When he went on about how his Chelsea players wouldn't be affected by the Kop in the European Cup semi final back in May, the Kop just roared louder and low and behold, got to Chelsea! Keep your mouth shut Jose, there's a new sheriff in town
it certainly did,shightened the frite out of them! the sad thing is,Tommorow's Atmosphere will be nothing like that Night.......
i can,t wait till 2morrow. if man city won and we beat roman abramavich,s team cause its clear he,s the boss at chelsea. it would make up 4 my boreing summer of no football. but anyway im confidant going into this 1 1s stevie g is fully fit. but if he is ,int we have a strong defence stronger than theres amd also we now have attacking players that are just as good if not going to get better than chelsea attack. fingers cross anyway lads lets keep the 100% going
Jasus.If we beat the Chavs tomorrow and that crowd from old toilet lose to City it'll be like all my birthdays and a Xmas rolled into 1.Come on you red men
To be honest I'd expect Man U to come out on top of the Manc derby, they normally come back with some great answers when questioned by the media and supporters alike. However, I'm not bothered about them cos I reckon our main rivals this season will be Chelsea. At worst I expect a 0-1 defeat, at best I expect a 1-0 win. Don't expect an exciting encounter but as long as the result goes our way who cares
sean what are doing on the forum at 9 on a sunday morning?! i'm very hungover myself - thats what i get for drinking cheap wine and whiskey ! Should be interesting game...i like the way rafa said that Abramovich has done a good job at Chelsea! hit jose where it hurts - his ego.
I'd prefer if rafa just hit him.. with his fists. Rafa, kung fu legend. off to watch citeh hopefully win now then its the big one..COME ON
Yeah, here we go lads and lassies, i've got a good feeling, we can do this, COME ON YOU MIGHTY REDS!!!!!!!!!!
