Jose Mourinho has FINALLY been diagnosed with mental illness. Last night, it was clear to the whole world that he is suffering from DELUSION.

 

These are excerpts from various interviews last night.

“We were the best team today, even against a team only playing for the Champions League. In extra-time we were the only team who tried to win, but football is like that and the penalty shoot-out is part of the game.”

“Chelsea tried to win it in 90 minutes. Chelsea tried to win it in extra time. The best team was the team in blue,”

“It did not affect us, we were the team in blue always trying to win. They had a short period in the first half in control, but after that I felt it was always Chelsea in control and trying to win the game. For 90 minutes, extra-time, we always tried to win. Free-kicks, we had every strong player into the box, we showed we wanted to win the game so we had no problems with the atmosphere. “

Say what??

OK let’s look at this scientifically…

Shots on target – Liverpool 5 €h£L$Â¥ 3
Shots off target – Liverpool 7 €h£L$Â¥ 6
Blocked shots – Liverpool 4 €h£L$Â¥ 3

Looks to me that Liverpool tried to score a few more times than your boys sir. So cut the crap about being the better team, or being the only team that wanted to win it.

And if statistics is not your cup of tea, let’s look at the two keepers and how many saves they made.

In the first half, Pepe Reina made a fine save from Didier Drogba and for the rest of the game endured the odd skirmish around the six-yard area. Petr Cech was beaten by Daniel Agger’s first-half strike, saved brilliantly from Peter Crouch and watched Dirk Kuyt’s header hit a post. Kuyt also saw a goal ruled out by a marginal offside and brought a fine save from Cech in the final seconds after he was played in by Robbie Fowler.

So for once in your miserable life, accept defeat gracefully and move on.

€h£L$Â¥ – All that money, all those players, and yet they’ve got all the charm of a cockroach. On the 23rd of May, you guys can watch the match on TV, watch the MIGHTY REDS lift that trophy for a sixth time.
