Klopp has played a loooot of games defensively. If you go back to the pool city game, that was a classic game. Also, going toe to toe is the right approach when you are on the same level. We and pool are not, at this moment. They are a level above us. We have seen what happens when managers don't adapt to the opposition, and simply put out the same team. They get wengered.

Fair enough if that is the case. I myself have used that term for sarri. But truth be told, he seems to have turned a corner. It was a good performance (at least for me), we showed fight and the right response after going down. You can ask why it took 2 goals for us to show that, but I feel it would be unfair since they were 2 minutes and just such a worldie. Sarri has shown adaptation, he has shown change. He gave pool the respect they deserved today. He has shown faith in kids even for such a big game. We do look dangerous in bits and pieces. Just need a good window and some good players.

Implementing a style does not mean you can't be pragmatic. Klopp has had 3/4 years now. Sarri barely one year. Trying to go toe to toe against pool would have been stupid and almost as bad as etihad. We were in the game, and we could very well have at least drawn it. We were beaten by a better team and by one of he goals of the season.

😅 I must surely have watched a different game. I thought we were very good. Could easily easily have been 2-2 We got beaten by 2 great goals. We defended really well. And created some good chances. I have had a lot of issues with sarri but calling him a fraud for today's performance seems downright stupid.

Good performance. Hell we could have even scored one. We are playing well. Exactly like I imagined and wanted today. Just keeping frustrating them, and then do them on the counter. Come on Chelsea. We are going to win this.

Perfect line up. Now for a good performance. Come on Chelsea...

False 9 for me. If higuain starts, it will be like playing with 10 men. The guy has nothing in his locker to trouble vvd, who will have a field day. Except for the CBs, the team pretty much picks itself. All the 3 CBs deserve the start, but I think Luiz and Toni will get the nod. Kepa Azpi Toni Luiz Emerson Kante jorginho RLC CHo hazard willian The midfield has to be those 3. Barkley and kovacic really should not be starting. Alonso is just horrendous.

I beg to differ. The worst player was Pedro, hands down. I would love to see the touches that he had and the percent of times he lost the ball. Will be around 70-80%

This might not be popular, but willian my motm. Anything decent that we did, was his doing. I feel the best solution for the weekend might be a false nine with cho-eden-willian

Dear mother of God. Does it mean he starts on the weekend?

I have a feeling that we will Nick this. 1-0

Eden comes in, and we are straight on the front foot.

The bang average pathetic footballer is put out of his misery. If he somehow is here next season, I will be shocked. One of the first players who needs to be fucked off

Still better than oedro

Has Pedro done one single thing right? Anything? Such a pathetic player. Just can't understand how he kept himself relevant as a footballer at this level for this long. Average player who just happened to be playing with the best ever player and the best ever team. Bang bloody average. I know people like to get on willian's case, but he offers 100 times more than pedro

Don't know what's more pathetic, the performance or the fact that the likes of Alonso, willian, Pedro, Barkley and kovacic were our first teamers for more than 8 months

I feel that would be the worst outcome. Sarri can't implement his 'style of play' with the current lot. We have and we are seeing that. If we keep sarri, we will need to get players (specially a striker) who suits his requirement. If Luiz leaves, we will need a cb who can fill in those shoes, my preference would be ake Most importantly we need to sell the likes of willian and Pedro, and get wingers who do what is asked off them (stick to the touch line) rather than crowding the center. It's almost imperative that sarri gets a transfer window if he is getting another year. Else it will be the same old drivel that we have seen this season sans hazard.

Would make the most sense. I have a feeling we will try and play sumilar to how we played against city in the league cup final. Surely sarri won't want another etihad

Willian giroud pedro Barkley kovacic ampadu Alonso Andreas Rudi Zappa Kepa I would want a completely rotated team for the pool game.

Depends on your definition of "new". Out of 8, I want 3 "new" defenders - ake, Reece, Jay. In midfield, I think we have good options. RLC is showing his quality. Ampadu deserves a chance in the least.

OMG!! OMG!! He has finally turned a corner.

Will be 29 year old by the time the next season starts. Really not the guy that we should be investing in.

What would be your ideal transfer window (in case the ban is frozen). Mine would be one where we mainly sell the dead wood (be it the first teamers or the loanees) and finally get a few young players in. I mean why the hell do we Eduardo on loan? Seriously need to reducing the sheer columes on our books. Outs- Loanees GKs Eduardo - Free Defenders Zouma - 40mil Baba Rahman - 10mil Kalas - 5mil Hector - 2mil Kane - 2mil Miazga - 2mil Omerou - 5mil Aina - 7mil Midfielders Baker - 5mil Angban - 1mil Kennedy - 10mil Nathan, quintero, pantic - 5mil Pasalic - 10mil Bakayoko - 30mil Forwards Morata - 50mil Piazon - 5mil Musonda - 5mil First team players Willian - 30mil Pedro - 10mil Drinkwater - 20mil Alonso - 30mil Zappacosta - 10mil Hazard - 100mil Kovacic - end of loan Giroud - free Luiz - free That's a total of 394mil £ worth of exits. Most of them are not good enough to play (loanees), others don't fit the system (zouma, complete exception. I would love him back but not a fit for our current manager), some want to taste new things (hazard), others are deadwood (DD, Pedro, Alonso etc). Ins Striker - Werner? Jovic? Does not matter the money, we should try and get a good young striker out there. Not a hilarious over the hill higuain and neither someone who has never led a team like morata. Both of jovic and werner look really great prospects and should be good buys. Wingers - we already bought pulisic. But will need 2 more wingers. I am really tied of watching Pedro and willian do what they do. Pedro is just bang average while willian has some serious short comings. Both are 30 ish and not really going to improve or give us anything that we don't already know. I know, losing 3 out of the current 4 wingers would be a massive thing, but the club needs a Revamp. The core has grown soft, and needs to be changed. - 100mil. One of them can be thorgan hazard. He has really grown. Midfielders - none Defenders - Reece James - replace Zappa with James. No need for wan bisaaka as good as he is. It's the perfect time to get the young guy in. Tomori - to fill in the 4th cb spot. Da silva - I really like this guy and feel he is underrated. Height is an issue but the guy is a good footballer. Ake - 40mil. I think he is class. Should be bought back. Total ins- 240mil Squad Gks - kepa, Caballero, bulka (hg) Rbs - azpi, Reece (hg) CBS - ake (hg), Rudi, Andreas(hg), tomorrow(hg) Lbs - Emerson, Jay (hg) Regista - jorginhi, ampadu (hg) Rcm - Kante, mount (hg) Lcm - RLC (hg), Barkley(hg) Wingers - CHo (hg), pulisic, thorgan, x Strikers - jovic/Werner, batshuayi, Tammy (hg) A young squad, yes. But we need a serious change in the way we do things.

No. But playing Emerson 2 games in 3 days would be suicidal. Specially when we have an option of playing him today, and then give him a rest for a week. I thought the post explained that.

I think we will win this one. Just keep Alonso out of the team, and we will win it. Also, I do think Emerson will start as not even sarri would be stupid enough to start Alonso against salah. So it has to be Emerson (whu), Alonso (prague), Emerson (pool)
