Steven Gerrard mungkin tidak dapat merasai nikmat menjulang kejuaraan BPL sebagai pemain namun saya yakin, suatu hari nanti, Gerrard akan kembali ke LFC. Pada ketika itu, mungkin Gerrard akan menjulang BPL sebagai seorang coach atau manager. Hatinya hanya untuk LFC.

FT MATCH REPORT NONLFC



Chelsea 1 Manchester United 0



Chelsea semakin pasti mengikat kejuaraan Liga Kali ini. Ia lebih kepada kemenangan defensive unit yang keep it clean. United gagal mendapatkan keputusan lebih baik walaupun menguasai 70% perlawanan



Hazard&039;s Goal



Ia adalah kombinasi tidy play antara Fabregas dan juga cheeky back heel pass Oscar. Pemain United gagal mengejar Hazard dan beliau mudah slotting bola di celah kangkang De Gea.

PFA player of the year ??? Kemungkinan besar !



Rooney Drop Deep



Rooney bermain terlalu deep. Jika menentabg LFC dan City , ia mungkin excused sebab Mata, Young dan Fellaini on form di hadapan. Kali ini ketiga tiga mereka disenyapkan Matic , Zouma dan Ivanovic. Manakala Falcao seakan akan gagal menghasilkan produk lebih tajam.



Saya cuma melihat Rooney sebagai main man untuk melakukan tugas menjaringkan gol. Namun sepanjang game dia tetap di deep area dan cuma menjadi extra man bila pressing.



Falcao performance



Mungkin ada satu woodwork dan satu key block by Cahill namun saya tak nampak dia cukup precisive seperti yg dia lakukan di tugasan antarabangsa. Agak banyak berada di centre circle pada first half dan menyukarkan free flow. Persembahan lebih baik di second half.



Chelsea Defensive Tactical



Semua orang tahu kemampuan pasukan ini untuk bertahan. Mereka sangat solid dan begitu kuat di duel. Mereka sentiasa memastikan Fellaini dikawal dan tidak berada berdekatan Curtois. Zouma dan Matic tamat energetic di tengah.



Manchester United Subs



Tak banyak yg berubah dan disumbangkan oleh tactical subs. Saya rasakan mengeluarkan Shaw adalah setback kerana dia adalah pemain yg paling kerap akses ke dalam kotak D. Di Maria san Januzaj turut gagal memberikan impak. Jadi ia tiba tiba menjadi ibarat technical subs bermakna, cuma mendapat fresh player.



Kualiti United dan Chances Created



Mereka menekan dan mendominasi. Dengan sikap pasif Chelsea , membuatkan pemain seperti Valencia dan Herera amat banyak memegang bola. United melakukan 607/665 passes dan ia satu jumlah amat besar.



Mereka gagal converting 15 keypasses menjadi gol. Agak menyedihkan! Cuma 2 shots on target.



Fair Result ?



Tidak! Ia adalah UGLY WIN. Sperti yg saya katakan tadi, ia adalah defensive teamplay. Chelsea cuma tak mahu kalah dah tak ada assesment untuk pemain seperti Drogba walaupun beraksi hambar, Chelsea lebih memberikan fokus kepada menguatkan bahagian lain dan bukan attacking line. Cuma Hazard yg nampak ekskslusif.



Win ugly memang telah menjadi pra-syarat untuk mana mana pencabar gelaran pada peringkat seperti ini. Yang penting adalah mereka berjaya memenangi perlawanan. Kualiti tolak tepi, sebaliknya kuantiti gap mata adalah segala galanya.



Kemenangan ini meletakkan mereka 10 mata di hadapan Arsenal yg berada di tempat kedua.



Prestasi Manchester United



Walaupun United bermula dengan baik, dan hampir mendahului melalui Wayne Rooney, namun mereka tidak cukup tajam di final third dalam keseluruhan perlawanan. Taktikal mereka sudah dapat dikesan oleh Mourinho. Meletakkan Falcao untuk sentiasa di belakang Cahill masih tak cukup untuk mendapatkan sesuatu.



WiselPenamat



Tahniah Chelsea. Win is a win tak kisah ugly ke beauty. Bagi United ia adalah kekalahan yg cukup frustrating selepas memerah energy cukup banyak untuk game ini dan mereka adalah better team.

3 Tactical Keys for Liverpool to Defeat FA Cup semi-final opponents Aston Villa on Sunday

With Liverpool facing a rejuvenated Aston Villa in Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final, Jamie Casey identifies three weaknesses to target.

With Aston Villa having suffered 17 defeats in the Premier League this season, it’s easy to presume that Liverpool simply have to show up at Wembley on Sunday in order to reach the FA Cup final.

However, truth be told, we haven’t exactly set the competition alight this season, yet here we are in the last four with a kind draw and a perfect opportunity to ‘get Gerrard to Wembley’ – properly.

Complacency cannot set in, so how do we go about beating Aston Villa?

Here’s three keys to victory.

Zonal-Mark Christian Benteke

View image | gettyimages.com

It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but there are times when zonal marking can prove productive, and it should be utilised against Christian Benteke in particular at Wembley.

With five goals in his last three games, the big Belgian is Villa’s most obvious threat, not to mention four goals in five Premier League appearances against the Reds.

Man-marking Benteke is a huge ask – he’s arguably the biggest, strongest, most difficult striker to handle in English football at the moment – and if Martin Skrtel were to be given the task, we’d almost certainly see a return of his shirt-pulling antics of last season.

On a neutral ground in such a big game, he wouldn’t get away with it for long.

Villa will earn set-pieces at some point, and they may only need one to nick a goal – they had just two corners in their recent 3-1 loss away to Manchester United, one of which Benteke scored from.

When these set-pieces arrive, Benteke needs to be the focus of the Liverpool defence, and zonally marking the Villa striker’s surrounding area will be the best way of nullifying his threat – we can’t let him attack the ball.

Of course, there is a risk of freeing up space for other players in claret and blue with this approach, but Simon Mignolet can counter that by being decisive in coming off his line when need be, and he’s confident enough to live up to that right now.

Pass Them Off the Pitch

In back-to-back losses to Swansea and Manchester United under Tim Sherwood recently, Villa were quite simply overrun by a patient passing game.

United strung together 735 passes in their 3-1 win at Old Trafford, 90.7 per cent of which were successful.

It’s an impressive statistic, and it could be used in the case for starting Joe Allen.

As United showed, the passing doesn’t need to be anything spectacular, possession (of which United had 76.6 per cent) must be retained and openings will come in due course.

For that reason, there is sense in leaving Steven Gerrard on the bench, harsh as it may seem. Gerrard’s Hollywood passes on the wide Wembley pitch could be counter-productive, tiring out his chasing team-mates instead of the opposition.

With Allen, it might not be so pretty, but his short passing game can keep Villa off the ball, constantly chasing, and they’ll eventually become vulnerable as tiredness creeps in.

Jack Cork played the Allen role brilliantly in Swansea’s 1-0 win at Villa Park before the United game.

With 72 passes made, 84.7 per cent of which were successful, Cork was by far the most productive player on the pitch, yet he made no key passes during the game.

But it didn’t matter – Villa were worn down and Bafetimbi Gomis pounced with an 87th minute strike and Swansea stole the points.

Liverpool aren’t full of goals at the minute, so a similar tactic should work.

Brendan Rodgers will realise this game is better suited to a second-half introduction for Gerrard, it’s just a case of whether he has the heart to leave him on the bench at Wembley.

Shoot on Sight

After the 1-0 defeat to Villa at Anfield in September, here’s how Philippe Coutinho’s performance was assessed by our feature writer Henry Jackson: “After such dazzling pre-season form, Coutinho has struggled this season. He couldn’t find the space to influence proceedings, and barring a terrific late effort that hit the post, his shooting once again left a lot to be desired.”

How times have changed.

Coutinho has since established himself as Liverpool’s player of the season, while he’s also added power and accuracy to his shooting. In the absence of Gerrard, he’s quite comfortably our most dangerous player when shooting from range, and this could come in handy on Sunday.

Defending long shots is a weakness for Villa, while creating long-distance shooting opportunities is a very strong trait of Liverpool’s. It’s hard to argue with those characteristics.

Add to that the fact that 39-year-old Shay Given, who has played in every FA Cup game for Villa so far this season, is likely to start instead of first choice Brad Guzan, and the case for shooting from range at every opportunity is enhanced.

As good as Given was in his Newcastle days, he’s now far from the reliable, agile ‘keeper we came to know yesteryear, and Liverpool can exploit the absence of the brilliant Guzan.

And it’s not only Coutinho who should be having a pop, Jordan Henderson has proved he can bend them in, while Gerrard needs no invitation if he’s on the field.

How should Liverpool line up on Sunday, with these tactical points in mind? Let us know in the comments below.

PERANGAI STERLING DI LUAR PADANG MENGGANGGU LIVERPOOL - JAMIE CARRAGHER



Legenda Liverpool , JamieCarragher sekali lagi bersuara isu RaheemSterling yang beliau anggap mengganggu fokus pasukan untuk setiap perlawanan.



"Walaupun apabila media tidak bersuara , kita tahu isu itu ada. Sebelum perlawanan vs Newcastle tempoh hari Rodgers sekali lagi ditanya berkenaan isu Sterling di luar padang. Sepatutnya beliau perlu berfikir tentang bola sepak ketika itu , tetapi Rodgers dipaksa berfikir tentang Sterling."



Walaupun isu ini dimainkan berulang kali oleh media , Brendan Rodgers mengambil pendekatan untuk menangani isu ini secara diam. Pada admin ini satu tindakan yang bijak dari Rodgers.

61% of Liverpool fans wouldn’t start Steven Gerrard for FA Cup semi-final

Results show that Liverpool supporters would rather Steven Gerrard take up a substitutes’ role against Aston Villa in Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final.

Steven Gerrard is set to return to Brendan Rodgers’ Liverpool squad to take on Aston Villa in their FA Cup semi-final clash on Sunday, but should the captain start?

61 percent of Liverpool fans believe that the 34-year-old is better off on the bench.

This comes after Rodgers told reporters on Friday that: “[Gerrard’s] a special player. He still is.

“He’s been, throughout his time here, an incredible player who has, in the main, in the big games, produced big goals and big moments.

“He knows Wembley very well and he’s someone who has got that special quality.

“So whether he plays or doesn’t play, he’ll be a very important member of the squad for us on the day.”

Gerrard has been out of action for the past three games after his red card in Liverpool’s 2-1 loss at home to Manchester United in March, with a midfield of Lucas Leiva, Joe Allen and Jordan Henderson impressing in his absence.

But it can be argued that a player of Gerrard’s experience would be crucial to a Liverpool victory in the FA Cup.

Should the Liverpool captain start against Aston Villa? Have your say below.
