Chelsea(h) PL- Match Thread

[Elite]

Same players letting the side down again but not to worry they'll continue to play every week and be given pay rises.

[Thoth]

Mane moaning to Klopp there by the looks of it

[PestiRed]

I guess I would have taken that beforehand. Doesn’t feel great though

[Jay86]

If you think they were 'jammy' for equalizing, you're having yourself on.

Was a jammy goal whatever way you look at it, whether they deserved it or not it was a jammy equaliser.

[Bjornebye]

Mane has a point. I want that from our players. Salah is amazing. He didn't celebrate because of the massacre yesterday. not because he cares about them twats. Willian..... what a goal if he meant it. 

[ngogswilly]

jammiest point chelsea will ever get but christ klopp needed to change things up 10 mins earlier than he did. He cant keep doing that.

Someone needs to.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Just fuck off.

 

Woeful performance. Didn't even manage a shot on goal until Mo scored.

 

Dreadful team selection. Dreadful game management and lack of substitutions.

 

If you're taking off Sturridge, why put on invisible Gini?

 

So fucking angry.

[Baltar]

Fuming. Stupid jammy fucking goal cost us. Rent boy bastards. 

[clangers]

Klopp's really not great with substitutions is he?

[J-V]

and so he should.  Henderson's spinless behaviour has rubbed off on Klopp.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

You don't think the finish was at all jammy then?

 

The goal itself was jammy, but them being 1-1 is not. They had about 3 clear cut chances beforehand that we were jammy not to concede. We were asking to concede from the 65th minute onwards.

 

Taking off your only striker for a defensive midfielder, switching to a 451 which was all over the place and being camped in your own half was inviting them to score. It was predictable and horrible in equal measure.

[Simbo]

This team is fucking shite. Manager hasn't a fucking clue. Chelsea there for the taking and he waits till 6 minutes to go to bring on our best player fucking joke.

Fuck off you hysterical mong.

[Strontium]

When City win tomorrow we'll be closer to the relegation zone than the top spot.

[Jay86]

Mane fuming with Klopp it looked like there.

[eeyore]

Can we please wind up the Joe gomez charity now. It's not funny anymore

[G Richards]

I predicted 1-1 which is an acceptable result, but the manner in which it happened feels like a defeat. We had it in our grasp. Couldn’t close it out. We were getting tired and getting deeper. It was obvious we needed some more pace on there to threaten them as the game was getting stretched.

 

Their goal was a bit flukey. I’m not even sure it was a shot. Looked like a cross to me. On our side we handed them the initiative by not making the right subs soon enough. Poor game management.

[Pidge]

Bollocks.  Two points lost through a pretty lucky goal and some passive game management from the boss.  Look forward to everyone that predicted a kicking today reacting as though this is the end of the world.

 

Disappointing, frustrating, but a good team performance heading into the Christmas period where we will need to rotate.  Only thing I would add is that I don't expect much from Sturridge anymore, if he wants a move in Jan, give it him. Playing him in games like this will either lower his value or lead to an injury.  Not worth it.

[Megadrive Man]

Can't blame Mignolet for that, he,s anticipated the cross, very very lucky goal by Chelsea.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Still unbeaten at home and I'd have taken a draw before the game. We could have gotten all 3 points though, needed a bit more in game management when Conte started sticking all those attack minded players on.

 

You don't need to make subs for that to happen, but you do need more discipline and leadership on the pitch, not sure having Mane on 10 minutes earlier would have stopped that goal, hardly a player who tracks back, is he? 

 

Happy enough, but room for improvement as always. Keeps us in the hunt and another rival out of the way on the fixture list. 

[magicrat]

On balance fair enough result, We were lucky to go in 0-0 at HT and they got a spawny equaliser near the end , Frustrating we didn't win but at least we didn't gift them a goal.

I could have shot Moreno on Tuesday but I have to say he played very well today .  

[KMD7]

I think most of us here were referring to the goal in fairness.  

Even game, draw a fair result.  Klopp needs to make his subs sooner, as per.

[J-V]

jammiest point chelsea will ever get but christ klopp needed to change things up 10 mins earlier than he did. He cant keep doing that.

 

He's been doing it since day one.  His in game management is near non existent.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I think we sat a bit too deep at times and Mané should've been on earlier. But, on the sitting deep, we moan if like against Sevilla we don't see the game out. And, today, we (me included) moan if we do try and see the game out and it doesn't work out.

 

But, there's no real desire to play the blame game today, from me. We played well against a very good team and there was every chance we'd be celebrating a 1-0 win but for a 1 in a 100 goal. Chelsea stretched us and probably deserved an equaliser, but it was a jammy goal. That's not really up for debate.
