Anti football but up for winning the league, they are out of it if they loose. Best bet is to frustrate as long as possible and either draw or sneak a win at the end. If they come out fighting they will go the way of the rest at Anfield this season.
It’s a shrewd tactic if your objective is winning the league.
Yeah if only all teams parked the bus like Chelsea – the prem would be awesome.
The challenge of a league is to win most games no matter what the tactics of your opponents, it would be boring if every team played the same way.
Still, only half time, I still expect Liverpool will score, but is also likely that they will become increasingly exposed in defence as they push up field.

I get that and I do admire Mourinho’s pragmatic abilities – but still, when you’ve got the financial clout of Chelsea you might think they could win games and not play tedious football. Man City can.

have you see the strikers at his disposal?
he may well be able to with decent strikers but yes it is most definitely not in his nature to play attractive flowing gung ho football
it would not be wise to try it against Liverpool IMHO – it did not work for city nor for man U under Moyes 😉
