Jose Mourinho parked TWO BUSES at Liverpool, blasts Brendan Rodgers
Brendan Rodgers accused Chelsea of parking ‘two buses’ at Anfield after a damaging 2-0 defeat which takes Liverpool’s title fate out of their own hands.
Chelsea defended deep throughout but Demba Ba capitalised on a Steven Gerrard error and Willian tapped in a breakaway second for a win which, coupled with Manchester City’s 2-0 victory at Crystal Palace, hands the initiative to Manuel Pellegrini’s men.
‘They obviously sat very deep. I think there were two buses parked today, never mind one,’ bemoaned Reds boss Rodgers.
‘It was like a back six with three midfield players in front of that. That’s ten, with the goalkeeper, consistently behind the ball.
‘I don’t think it’s a tactic. It is not difficult to coach, putting ten players on the edge of the 18-yard box. It’s totally opposite to how we want to play.’
An unrepentant Mourinho responded: ‘The best team won, in my opinion,.
‘I am a bit confused what the media thinks about defensive displays.
‘When a team defends well you call it a defensive display. When a team defends badly and concedes two or three goals you don’t consider it a defensive display.’
