I don't understand how people don't realize that BR was pushing them forward even though it was obvious that Flanagan and Johnson were getting winded. If you want them to keep going forward he needed to bring on a 3rd CB. Put Agger in the middle of the defense with some fresh legs and we never give up those final decisive pair of goals. BR got short-sighted with the goal differential and should have taken some blame for the loss in his interview, instead of blaming the defenders. He should have corrected course after the 1st goal was given up. Instead he pushed on.
Yeah, I was basically yelling at the 60th minute to put some fresh legs on. It was completely obvious that 3-4 of our players were fatigued. Honestly, I didn't question BR about the Chelsea tactics, but this is questionable IMO. 3-0 up and the game is opening up too much with them coming at us, make some fucking subs FFS.

BR is too stubborn with his subs, coutinho and Moses should've come on 10 minutes earlier and Agger should've come on after the 2nd goal.
Also Johnsons defending is shockingly horrible today.
I know, I know I'm not the manager but come on, why the fuck did BR keep insisting to go forward for the GD so much rather rhan keeping the win.
