[@BubbaDiddyMMOSFIFABEAST]

Every time I hear former players talk about Drogba, it makes me so happy that I got to see him in his prime. There are not many players that you can say when they were at their best; they were unplayable. The fact that Drogba was manhandling 2 CB’s by himself is crazy. We won’t see another player like him I don’t think

[@66taa15]

Don’t get me wrong, the players are the bulk of the reason for success, but coaches and tactics don’t get touched on enough. I find it fascinating when 2 tacticians come head to head with different styles and ideas, watching it play out in a game with top level footballers is amazing. As a Liverpool fan it feels weird to say, but other than Jurgen, if I had to choose somebody’s team to watch, mine would be a Jose team. The way he shuts down a teams main threats and “spoils the game” is great when it’s not against your team. Need more tactically educated people on as guests to walk people through it and make it easier to appreciate

[@OTTOBOTTO10101]

I dont think the general press emphasised on tactics back in the day - only until it was rly relevant like champions league finals. Social media has also made a huge influence since voices are a lot louder

[@illhavenoneofthat]

Shutting down a team with 11 men behind the ball coming out to the centre circle isn’t that sophisticated. Very will drilled and coached yes. Tactical innovations in attacking play is far more interesting.

[@ChazTB]

On the occasions where Jose is in the pundits room his anecdotes and insights/hints about tactics, whether his of old or related to the game they've just watched are always incredible.

[@KaiPetrov]

they weren't playing like that at the time@@illhavenoneofthat

[@neorenjie]

Jose is such a master. He's not just about tactics, he plays mind games on and off the field. He'll instruct his team to wind up an opponent or be aggressive and intimidate the opponent.

[@richardjones3792]

Fascinating listening to two top players...those champions league games were epic...Big characters all over the pitch.

[@LoCoAde87]

Liverpool, Rafa vs Mourinho were a very different intensity to Klopp's Liverpool vs Pep's City. It is hard to explain if you weren't watching then during that period because they played each other so many times from 04-07. A stupid amount. It goes beyond Jose being sacked too.
I despise Chelsea with every fibre of my being, but that 4-1 loss at Anfield was up there with the best EPL performances I have seen against Liverpool because Liverpool were actually very good that year too. But under the lights especially, Rafa had something over Jose in those European nights.
Rafa was a top tier manager/head coach then. Liverpool under him were 1 or 2 positions off being the complete package. Liverpool were a team no one wanted to draw in Europe. His Valencia side was good too.

[@RafeeqManalody]

You despise Chelsea with every fibre of your being? 😂 did they hurt your family or something? It's just football clubs mate. I've been a Chelsea fan for over 20 years and all i thought of liverpool as annoying opponent who makes our matches entertaining. That's it. Don't be a stan, you'll age better.

[@mashikaolamilekan4529]

If you are playing against Chelsea and as a defender you are not worrying about where Lampard is on the pitch when Chelsea switch the ball to the right, then you are in big trouble. The odds are he'll arrive in the box and score.

Love this and gives great credibility for the long ball which is and always will be a very effective style of play. So many teams now play a very sterile east to read possession game but fail to mix it with a long ball.

[@leeds85]

Liverpool in these games always used to press the defence into making quick passes until the ball reached a weak link and then let them play it out and give the ball away. They'd do it the whole game to someone like Geremi and he'd have more passes to a red shirt than some of the Liverpool players (i'm exaggerating). No one ever highlights this tactic when it happens for some reason.

[@hellalive8973]
