Didn't know that, ta.

Fucks sake, only 23 mins as well.  Is he fucking stupid?  We wanted minutes in his legs, surely he understood that simple instruction?

Reports I read said Ramsay was chasing the guy and he tripped over his own feet but the ref was behind play and sent him off for a deliberate trip and he was the last man.

Chelsea won the league in 2015.
Then in 2016 they were shit and finished 10th (the year Leicester won) only to come back in 2017 and win it again....

 

We’ll be back

Roman splashed the cash. We have FSG.

After the match yesterday, waiting for the queue for the trains to abate, we discussed if there is anything going on in the background affecting on field performance. We have lost a number of high profile back room and management staff, the manager doesn’t appear happy in interviews, the club is up for sale and the effort of players as measured by running stats is poor. 

 

Buying a shiny new player isn’t gonna fix that; there is something more fundamental afoot.

Yes FSG are the big fuck off cunts in the background

You’re not wrong. 
 

On top of all that Jurgen has stated that the pre- season was ‘in place’ even before the previous season was over, and if he had his way, it would have been different. In other words, they needed a bigger holiday, which they were never going to get. As a result, injuries happened before the season got going.

Are players annoyed by that?  The people who pay their wages on time, who funded the purchase of most of them, and the shiny new training ground, they're the bad guys in the players' eyes?  Nah. 

 

I agree there seems to be something in the background.  Perhaps the Qatar sale is close and Klopp has privately said he won't manage under them, or perhaps a couple of players have intimated they won't play for them.

This game was never going to be easy, even City would struggle with Nunez, Firmino, Diaz, Jota and Van Dijk out of the team with injuries.

 

Its one of the worst performance’s I can remember though, apart from Ox comical attempt to head the ball, I can’t remember a good scoring opportunity at all, just dreadful stuff all around. 
 

 

[bossy]

I only watched the first 30 minutes and it seemed that we pressed by pushing everyone up, defending from the halfway line. Then as that exposed us everyone legged it back to defend and when we had the ball in defence there was only Salah up top to hit the ball to and he was outnumbered and lost the ball and back it came. Happened 3 or 4 times in that half an hour. 

[etho]

The loss and even the result were what was feared and expected even, with the players missing. I genuinely can't see where we go from here, or what the rest of the season looks like. Or the summer now.

Saw an interesting stat on Irish telly this morning. Apparently in the last 10 games City have only won 1 more point than us. They're gone to shit as well. 

[Colonel Bumcunt]

A reminder of our next 8 games.  This isn't rock bottom yet.

Chelsea

Everton

Salah had 38 touches and lost possession 11 times.

And achieved?

Still freaks my nut out why we’ve abandoned everything that made us great these last 5 years and have reverted to doing everything that made us look fucking stupid for the previous 25.

We only had one Coutinho to cash in on.

 

There's other players since that we could have sold to equal effect, but we likely wouldn't have won the CL and PL.

I think any combination of top flight fixtures would look daunting for us at the moment. There isn’t a team wouldn’t fancy their chances against us.

Yeah but we’ve spent £250 mill on left sided forwards and brought in Arthur on a loan for the midfield.

Get Edwards back and Ardja whilst we're at it.  It's no coincidence things have gone tits up since Ardja was chased off the forum.

Have we?

Which of those forwards didn't we need?

Of the last ten games we've won 6 and lost 4, so 18 points.

On our budget and what needed addressing. Nunez & Gakpo

You didn't think we needed to replace Mane? I think you're probably in a minority there.

I've been saying for at least 3 years about the midfield so I'm under no illusions there but would never suggest that we didn't need a replacement for Mane.
