Liverpool Top Chelsea

Liverpool have again dumped Chelski out of Europe and unless the Special One can bring home the FA Cup it's not likely that he'll be at the helm next year. Ultimately I think it won't be a great thing for the club- Jose pretty much bottled the tactics last night, sending out a conservative side that lacked invention in midfield and was susceptible to crosses at the back. However his players seem to respond to him and if he's replaced they'll need at least one season to take to the new guy's system. If Jermaine Pennant had been more effective getting the ball to Crouch Liverpool could have won it 3-0 in regulation. Salomon Kalou brought a bit of pace to the table but saw none of the ball, Lampard was ineffective in a wider role, they had no width, etc. I could go on and on. Ultimately of the many things that anger me about Chelsea this season the worst is that they've got a player who's probably the best all-around midfielder in England in Michael Essien and because the squad is thin he's played at center back where his only role is to get out-jumped by Crouchygol. They got what they deserved.
