Chelsea Legend 11

You Cuadrado struggles in ball retention? based on what?

As a defender two errors usually lead to goals. Had Liverpool been more clinical it would've been a goal... I agree with your analysis of anticipation and that Zouma is better but that has more to do with his pace. He closes down quicker than Cahill because he's faster than Cahill.

We beat them with Torres up top last year... Still not worried.

Exactly. We beat City last year without Cesc and Costa anyways...

Has received as many yellow cards (7) in his 19 PL apps this season as he did in his last 36 La Liga apps

no surprise!

Of course. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31019034

The problem is both Schurrle and Salah are now unsettled. We have to move them now...

Ohhhhhh!!!

maybe try slowing it down a bit more.

We got an economist and an accountant in our ranks people!

That is nonsense. They have no say in the matter if the buyout is met.

If anyone thinks this coward of a referee, Oliver is gonna withstand all the public outcries and rule that it wasn't a red card offense I think you are in for a shock. Did anyone watch how that game was being reffed? two clear pens not given and two or three sending offs not awarded but his performance will be judged on Costa treading, not stamping, on Can and Skrtel. Trust me we will be without Costa for the City game.

He will argue his view of the incident was obstructed. I would be astounded if Costa escapes without a ban and that's not because I think he deserves it.

He settled into the match but there was still that effort when Coutinho got in on goal and Zouma turned the wrong was to let him in 1v1 with courtois.

I don't believe that for a second. The reason he gets in ahead of cahill is because of his speed to close people down. Reading the game has to do with occupying spaces on the pitch where a threat can be and right now Cahill is still better than Zouma... When Zouma makes a mistake and he made a fair few yesterday he has the speed to make up for it, that's not the same for cahill.

It'll be Cahill for sure. City don't look to get in behind for pace, they look to play it through the defense and Cahill still reads the game better than Zouma.

He's got to get the Cahillisms out of his game for sure but how can you honestly fault him today? he was fucking fantastic! Liverpool's entire plan was to try to catch us playing a high line and Zouma snuffed that out every time they tried. He had 11 effective clearances today..11!

Keep forgetting he's only 22! So much quality at such a young age.

If he gets banned for that I will be livid!! Especially having witnessed this!

Thierry Henry with the line of the post match! "You always feel you're gonna beat Chelsea... Then you don't" hahahaha Clearly aimed at that scouse cunt redknapp

You forgot Leiva who should've saw red

Sterling is very good against teams playing a high line(which we played today) not so sure he has the ability to trouble teams who set up a low block
