closed Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea

[Strike 6,961]

Solid first 30. Alonso special please from this freekick

[Leif 6,006]

I'd rather Alonso be on the receiving end personally. Remember more headed goals than FK goals. 

[Milan 17,835]

Nice tackle from Drinks there. Good old English

[Strike 6,961]

The two man attack is doing well

It's a fucking ordinary team we're facing. We have superior players. If Fab was playing we'll have probably scored already. 

[Milan 17,835]

Agreed. Fab should be brought on but certainly not for Drinks. Baka is the one.

Right. It's lunacy to praise our team for 'matching' Liverpool. And Klopp. A team which together has produced less results than when they had Brendan Rodgers.
Nevermind that they're without 90% of their best attackers, who're still to come on.

We're complimenting surviving against that. We're not even managing to play our natural game. No cohesion.

[Milan 17,835]

OK. Enough respect shown for Liverpool. Now time to play our football or think of attacking too. Unless Conte is super happy with a point.

Not sure what Baka's role is today. Three points are here for the taking, if Conte wants them.

Hazard vs Liverpool . Conte doing his best Mourinho impression. 

[It's too big 625]

We are likely feeling that midweek game. Liverpool have fresher players with Ox and Sturridge. We have kept them relatively quiet, but would prefer Azpi to go to LWB and mark Salah, or have Rudiger in Cahill's place. That added pace would help prevent them exploiting that side of our defence. 

[Pizy 17,860]

Even first half. Pretty scary to see Cahill continuously isolated on Salah. Alonso also getting caught too high on a number of occasions allowing them to easily get the ball down our left flank.

We were much better going forward than anyone could've thought. Drinkwater essentially playing the Lampard role and popping up in fantastic positions around their box.

[Blusan Alamb 295]

Bring Pedro on for Bakayoko, switch to 4-3-3. ATTACK!

[BXL70 395]

We dominated by large the first half. Now let's destroy Liverpool in the second half!

Agree that the team can use more imagination in attack

But Chelsea have done more than survive. Good chances to score, especially that Drinkwater chance.

Apart from the shot from Salah, Liverpool haven't really produced anything and that's down to the approach taken today.

We're not interested in defending our title just in containing Liverpool. This is a team that had a very tough and emotionally draining game against Sevilla while we've had 2 cakewalks against WBA and Qarabag.

Percentage football. Fabregas would have scored from that Hazard pass. How many goals does Drinkwater have in his career? 

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Don't understand what Conte is playing at. He does realize we have to WIN this game if we want to retain our title right? A draw is not good enough.
