Benfica have massive game with Porto tonight.
No chance they'll be taking anything easy this weekend.

Really did you see him in the Spurs game we were dominating till he made his subs and we went from winning the game to holding on for a draw, honestly I dont know how Liverpool fans put up with him for so long.

So many (of the younger fans) writing of Lampard well today I just hope the penny has finally dropped about the value of having experienced players at a club, without these players you rarely win things..

You are still a first class clown.
You've just qualified for the champions league and are in the Europa final. Have the decency to give credit where it's due. This man has done very well under the circumstances.

We should never get rid of our experienced players they offer a great balance in the squad and will teach the winning mentality to the younger players. Look at Arsenal that invincible team was dismantled sharpish when the values of the players were realised and then there was no one left to teach the younger generation how to actually win things.
Look at how many times this year we have lost points from winning positions, this is because our younger players dont know how to close out a game yet.

If by his terrible circumstances you mean managing probably the most talented team in the league, a team that had just won the Champions league and then was also improved by buying players like Oscar and Hazard.
He won trophies with your lot and got Champions league qualification but look at the difference in quality between our team now and Rafa's team at Liverpool. I am saying he has done badly for the players he has had at his disposal.

If you feel that this team is that talent. Why were they practically out of the champions league when Rafa took over.
Do you honestly think you could've finished higher then 3rd this season? Not a chance, united and city have far better teams then Chelsea.
And most Chelsea supporters admit that you were very lucky to win the champions league last year.
