Chelsea v Liverpool Match Thread

[Markeh]

I hate matches where we don't give a good account of ourselves for whatever reason.

 

[KopRed]

Even Robertson is regressing.

 

[rurikbird]

Salah so far with his worst game of the season. Nothing whatsoever is happening for him.

 

[Shay_K]

The formation isn't working

 

[keniget]

Robertson having a really poor game.

Salah very quiet and poor (by his standards) third game in a row. Poo.

Chelsea is doing similar to what some of the other top teams have done this season which is cut off our link between midfield and attack and the passing lanes in between. We need to somehow get the front 3 and midfield closer to each other!

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Really worrying performance ... this isn't a blip - we've done nothing in the league for eons.

 

[manwithnoname]

20. Minutes left.

Fuck

 

[KopRed]

We can't even get a fucking cross in.

 

[Mystic]

We need goals and a creative spark upfront, so Solanke makes complete sense.

 

[manwithnoname]

Dreadful from Firmino

 

[gkmacca]

It's worth remembering this would have been a tough match even if we had more fit players who weren't mentally shot. Let's keep a bit of perspective.

 

[Fabio]

Be not afraid

Here comes fun time

Interesting from Klopp to put Hendo closer to the attack, keeping Gini in the #6 role. I think he recognizes that our attack is flat and trying to get Hendo to inject some urgency and "creative chaos" up front, the way Ox did in the last few months. I think he's doing the best he can; don't see many other productive ideas out there. Now that Clyne is gone, we have our strongest current 11 on the pitch.

Ings makes more sense as he's actually scored a goal this season. But I'd rather stick with who we have on.

Good point well made.

And even though we've looked bad, we've not been atrocious

Well, some have

 

[Shay_K]

I'd like to see Ben on.

Real Madrid scouts will enjoy some fish and chips and go back to Spain with some good information!

 

[manwithnoname]

Solanke on. Hahahahahahahaha

Lulling them

 

[hmmmmm1]

Dom time is with 20 minutes to go. Things are getting desperate

Yeah, Chelsea are choosing to play to last season's standards in this game.

 

[rurikbird]

Robbo off, Solanke on. Also makes sense. Milner to LB.

 

[Fabio]

Good play there, manes pass breaking it down

 

[FoxForceFive]

Fuck, it'd just be so good to get out of this with a fucking draw so don't have to play everyone next week as well.

 

[Fabio]

Our depth is so shit, we'd probably have to anyway

 

[Markeh]

Feels a bit better now, they've dropped off

 

[manwithnoname]

Solanke. Wow

 

[mwake]

Chance to break and Mane with an under-hit pass... our touch is well off today...at least we will have a rest before we meet the Mourino Slayers Brighton

 

[Fabio]

Nice build up there. Just pressured solanke so he could turn for the shot, and no one offered a lay off
