Chelsea v Liverpool Match Thread

Robertson, Trent, Firmino and Salah all seem to have dropped off a bit in form, even arguably VVD too. It's like fatigue has hit at the wrong time.

I wonder how much of an effect the heat has on our system too? It seems a daft theory really, but we were better and better throughout the winter months, it's probably difficult to replicate that intensity when it's scorching and you're losing fluid quicker.

I pondered that as well.

It undoubtedly has an effect on energy so definitely played a part yesterday, but that was our fifth game in two weeks or something like that. I doubt it has a massive effect if we have a week in between games.

Those legs are magnificent.

He's very good looking is Gini. He'd be number one in our best looking players list right?

You need to take a long hard look at James Thrillner.

I really hate Giroud. Ex-Arsenal and he's French - he might as well walk around with a 'Slap me' banner all day long, the smug twat.

I liked Giroud even when he played back in France. If you could design a perfect back-up striker/plan B for a top team, that would be him.
