Lovely. This contradicts your argument in the other thread. We may have been given a debatable goal, but they (Chelsea) still needed to score and they didn't ...

I reckon Chelsea could have won it on penalties.

Makes sense. I mean, it's not like we beat/thrashed them on penalties a couple seasons later.
Not like we won a penalty shootout in the final either.

Remind me, who was the hero of the shootout a couple of seasons later, and what year did he sign for Liverpool?

Grant was crap at Chelsea, its a pretty much accepted fact that the players pulled together and got themselves into the CL final, he never had the confidence of the dressing room

Grant isn't a bad manager a bit unfair if he gets sacked

It just goes to show how problems in the club's hierarchy affect what happens on the pitch regardless of quality. Sullivan and Gold didn't cover themselves in glory.

I don't think there really was a hero of the shootout. Serginho spooned his penalty initially, that put Liverpool on the front foot immediately, Pirlo had his saved and Shevchenko's penalty was dreadful. Dudek got a lot of credit, but it was for that incredible double save he made in the last minute.

Sullivan was constantly criticizing Avram Grant and the West Ham squad to the media throughout the season. Also revealing that they were planning on sacking Grant and replacing him with O'Neil was a bad mistake.

It's more the players fault imo most of them didn't play to their potential or expected level.

Also, Chelsea don't have a good history when it comes to PK.
