Chelsea in fairness did try to keep the ball on the deck most of the time, it was the way Liverpool had 10 men behind the ball and just kept hoofing it forward, but tbh it worked so i wouldn't be complaning.
As for Chelsea i said at the start of the season that they wouldn't be the force they would be, i rather play against Shevchenko and Ballack than the likes of SWP, Robben, Duff (then)
But i think the injuries to the likes of the flair players such as J.Cole and Robben didn't help
