You know nothing about football, refrain yourself from posting, makes you look dumb.
The art of defence was the cattenacio, the italians used to master it 2-3 decades ago. It was all about the positioning, the man/not zonal marking, about having sweepers and shitloads of other things. It was an art really. Football was not beautiful indeed, but it was football nonetheless. There were loads of players who became idols, remember nesta ? He was world class ever since lazio. Cannavaro ? Rock solid since early Parma days. Won`t go further in the past to mention the likes of beckenbauer and baresi. They were idols indeed.
Problem is mourinho does not display tactical genius or any "defensive" playstile. He just goes 2 x dmc and park the bus, dropping the midfield deep and basically having 9 defenders. Its impossible to cross 2 well packed lines. But that, my friend, is not football.
Its just like having 11 players on goal line. Its shit.
Its not football according to you - the uefalona hater. Lot of people appreciate Chelsea's defensive efforts as there are haters like you too. Look who comment negative on Chelsea - supporters of other english teams(all of them probably except United under Fergie) who's been terrorized for the last decade by us and also supporters of Bayern & Barca who are pretty much doing it for the exactly same reason.

Well that was a pathethic comeback, are you actually justifying the way Chelsea played? Same reason how you won the CL, by playing anti-football. Literatly EVERY football commentator/journalist has called this anti-football, only chelsea fans are so daft enough to not realize this.
Ofcourse i do. We went there without both key figures in our squad so far this season - Eto'o - our best striker this season, Hazard - our best player this season. You can tell me Jose got deep bench etc. bullshits but none of our players can replace Eto'o & Hazard properly at the moment. One of them provide goals, the other provide speed & technique and they're both all about attack. Then tell me how could we attack with piece of wood like Torres infront? Chelsea are lacking strikers this year, its not like i've invented the hot water stating this but isn't it logical that if you can't score goals that you could atleast try not to concede? Also we was away and this is preliminary phase in which you look to go trough, not to play beautiful footbll. Ofcourse is a huge bonus if you do play good footbll and in the same time going trough, but the main target is to continue in the tournament obviously, atleast for teams with ambitions(thats why u probably don't understand me as Arsenal supporter). As you saw Real Madrid with all the new builded galactico's squad last night at home played on counters at their home and just like us they reached the desired result by them.

Well if chelsea wins at anfield, City has to drop points too while chelsea win all of their games.. not so likely.
Forget the league, even if we win at Anfield we need not only City to drop points but Liverpool too, and last but not least to win our remaining games too. We made it by ourselves losing points in last games against Villa, Palace and Sunderland, so we can't blame anyone else.
