Chelsea(h) PL- Match Thread

[aRdja]

Klavan is way out of his depth at this level. It's not through a lack of effort, but lack of ability. We need to get at least two centrebacks in before the start of next season.

He hasn’t been bad at all this stint I don’t think.

Klavan has been the least of our problems over the last few games.

This. Surprised to see the number of people saying he’s doing ok/well once he delivers a game without glaring mistakes. He simply isn’t at the required level. Quite far off in fact.

[mouse1989]

The thing with Klavan, the expectations of him are so low that if he has a ‘meh’ game, it’s a good surprise. That’s not what you expect from a 3rd choice CB at Liverpool

[Bobby Hundreds]

I thought we where the much better side their goal was pure fucking fluke.

 

I find it fucking bonkers that we never brought mane and firminho on early give them something to worry about it just seemed the most fucking obvious thing in the world when Chelsea had to chase the game, why play into their hands. I love klopp but his and snapes in game management winds me up.

 

I'm still pissed.

[Jennings]

Why am I so raging? They aren't even that good. In fact they are shit. We need to be beating shit teams like this when we have the chance. We nullified their only dangerous player and yet they still drew with us.

Don't rage over football mate. There are more important things in life. Chill.

[Jennings]

I was glad when Gini came on. We'd been getting overrun in midfield, meaning that Sturridge was redundant and Coutinho was too deep. I thought the substitution might have changed things.

 

It didn't, obviously, but I think the idea was sound.

I hear what you are saying mate. But I just don't think Gini has that in his arsenal.

I thought he was actually really good yesterday. Especially considering he was up against players that could jog past him in a foot race.

 

He made some good tactical fouls, sniffed out danger early on several occasions, and bullied forwards off the ball.

 

We had a few six yard box scrabbles but I think they're to be expected.

 

Our defence was considerably better than our midfield yesterday.

[Jennings]

One thing I noticed yesterday was how we played without the ball when still 0-0. We don't seem to go 4-5-1. We don't seem to defend as a team.

My impressions from last night.

 

* I had an amazing spice bag with curry sauce.

* Chamberlain was excellent bar not tracking alonso back and allowing him a free volley over the bar

* Henderson lost all discipline in the second half. There was a clear few minutes where the midfield was set up as milner and gini behind henderson who was obviously meant to sit on Fabregas but didn't

* Sturridge didnt have the pace for this game.

*Coutinho was generally poor bar a wonder pass for salah that chelsea just cleared.

*Salah has so much more to his game than just pace

*Hazard is the best player in the league.

[aRdja]

Hazard is better than Coutinho.. if I was in charge of transfers for Barcelona, I’d focus on him in the summer.

[Jairzinho]

They're looking for a creative midfielder not a forward. They want a long term replacement for Iniesta.

[sir roger]

They’ll never get anywhere buying players for areas they are struggling with , schoolboy error that.

[scudger99]

Look lads it looks like some gay guy has hacked my account from 11.45 onwards.

 

Pay no mind to that twat.

The one believable word in that post.

[Grinch]

Good result last night against a much better team. Although god knows why we handicapped ourselvea by playing oxo and sturridge rather than our best attack.

 

Mignolet abysmal on the goal as per usual. Woeful positioning.

[sir roger]

Unless there is an injury or a goal conceded I can’t ever see the rationale behind a sub after the 80th minute. Ridiculous watching Klopp giving long_winded instructions to the likes of Grujic who will be lucky to touch the ball.

[dockers_strike]

Subs are not Jurgens strong point. Too infrequent, often too late and sometimes wrong players taken off with wrong player sent on. TAA should have been on in that game after Conte made his second sub in place of Milner who was woeful.

[VladimirIlyich]

Fucking hell how fucking gay is this shit, and yet we hear it time after fuking time. Liverpool are shit and their fans are all homosexuals.

Insulting both homosexuals and LFC fans,that's nice!

[VladimirIlyich]

If you can tell me where the insult is there I will give you a banana.

While I am sure we have a fair few gay supporters I'd say the majority of our fan base is made up of hetrosexual males. Maybe not an insult just a very incorrect statement.

[Carvalho Diablo]

So it was actually more insulting for you to presume that there was an insult there? Liverpool fans aren't homophones mostly.

Give the lad a break, you seem to forget that old Vlad is cracking on a bit.

 

Surely he's a gramophone?

[TheHowieLama]

Homophone is boss tha

Old Vlad? Why,you cheeky rapscallion you.
