Sure, Lucas could've gotten a second yellow, but Costa could easily have gotten a red. Surprised he didn't even get a yellow, plain to see what he was doing.

I just used them as an example, the whole team, apart from Hazard, battled today IMO. It was only after Benteke's goal that they really gave up.

Agree with that for sure, might get another retrospective ban because that was a nasty kick. And I do think we were the better side and deserved to win, but I sympathise with Chelsea because it could easily have swung their way on a couple of decisions

Honestly if Costa gets a retrospective ban for that then I give up.
He was lucky Skrtel kept a cool head, for a second there he looked like he was gonna bash Costa's skull in.

Indeed. Although he might, I doubt Costa will get a retrospective ban because Clattenburg saw it.

To sum it up... You know things are bad when Liverpool score two or more against you.

I don't think Clattenburg saw it. There'd have been at least a free kick if he'd seen it.

He definitely saw it IMO. Clattenburg rushed over to make sure nothing happened, and IIRC there was a free-kick for something because play stopped.
Skrtel got a free kick for the initial challenge I think, a bit unsure if he saw the kick but the way he rushed over suggested he did. Couldn't care less about it right now tbh, I'm on a high.

Just a 'wait and see job' then 
Even a Top 4 place is in serious serious danger now. I see two options. Either we sack Jose right now and get a seasoned manager like Hiddink in to get us Top 4 and set the platform for Pep or Simeone next season. Or we literally empty the bank in January and offer ridiculous wages to get some players and make a late push
Either way, we can't simply go on like this. I am starting to think we may never win a game again

Players can pay as much lip service as they want to the media but it's obvious he has lost the dressing room. He is not even playing to the strengths of our squad. He is trying to grind out results but it isn't working at all. The attacking players just look dillusionised out there
Agree with this completely. Players are scared shitless on the pitch at the moment. It probably has to do a lot with Jose's tactics. He probably drilling them to stay compact and tight and they are scared that if they make a wrong decision and **** up, they will concede. Their solution basically is to stop making any decisions altogether
We have been playing scared since the start of the year. That's why we lost to PSG in CL and have such a horrible start. Where is the swagger of champions gone?
This wasn't great at the start and got worse ever since Carniero.
Danger would put it mildly.
It didn't bother me until I saw just Mourinho's post-match for the BBC. Moaning that Lucas should've gone a second yellow, meanwhile his star man Costa is going around assaulting people every week.

Walking back to Earles Court after the match (does anyone seriously use Fulham Broadway after and the carnage getting in there?); it was quite amusing listening to your lads. All behind Jose, but all talking about being in a relegation battle/ the need for a complete squad overhaul/ the possibility of going from Champions to being relegated in a season.
Absolute boneheaded, reactionary hilarity. You might be ***** currently and getting worse by the week, but you're in ZERO danger of being in a relegation scrap.
They might in fact need complete squad overhaul if Mourinho stays in the job. Depends on how would you explain what's currently going on.
To me it starts to look like Benitez in Inter 2.0. A team so mentally and physically exhausted it just needs to be rebuild almost from scratch. A lot of **** has been said about Rafa sinking down treble winning team, but the fact is, Inter went through bunch of managers after Mourinho and, bar Zanetti who isn't even human, none of the remaining treble players ever looked as good, ever again. They were so burned out they were basically done.
