Closed Liverpool v Chelsea

[TheOneChan95 225]

You can't really say it enough hahaha

Yeah it's just so impressive to see how dominant he is in midfield.

We should really be up by 3 now, I hope we don't squander any more chances

[Laylabelle 9,539]

Need to finish our chances otherwise they'll fluke it again

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

We were well on top in the last 10-15 minutes, really should have scored in that period.

[beyondinvisible 47]

We have the quality to close out this game. And I'm sure we're going to score again.

[boshman 1,073]

We can easily win this if we play like we did last 10 of the first half. Keep it more compact at the back. Close them down much quicker when they get into our half. Improve on our finishing and it could be 2, 3 or even 4!!

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Pretty bad performances by both teams, to be honest. That gap behind our holding midfielders.....really paying the price for not have a CB who can step up when needed.

Liverpool have massive gaps as well but they are stopping every counter with a foul but the ref just won't get his cards out. When we did get past them our finishing....

[LemmeBorrowThat 124]

We'll capitalize eventually. Hazard has had some good and bad attempts at a goal but he's making his presence known either way.

Matic is a one man wrecking crew.

Cesc is slow in the pivot....great offensively but defensively it just isn't him. Tries but doesn't have the all out ability.

[Special Juan 28,187]

Jose has got this, the message will be put across and we will win this.

[Supermonkey92 1,428]

just noticed we have remy on the bench! WTH! bring him on in either a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2! with out the ball we essentially play a midfield four of eden cesc matic and ramires anyway. loads of movement up top is what the doctor ordered I feel. plus with the extra pace their defence will naturally fall deep, meaning we either get space in between the midfield or their midfield has to drop deep to, giving us the control. I think we would be able to get the break through either way

[Belgiannutt 3,201]

hazard denied us? he shots has been blocked, the second shot was a goal if it wasnt been blocked

Don't bother mate apparently every shot Hazard takes needs to be a goal or else it's poor finishing. :confused:

[xPetrCechx 13,578]

Horrible gap between our defence and mid....

hazard must stop be naive....

[dee25 1,044]

Matic pressing high + Fabregas not being very good defensively = recipe for disaster.

HUGE recipe for disaster. The amount of space between Matic and Cesc is not even funny.

[Pizy 18,985]

Hazard's only real weakness showing today. Needs to see one go in to restore his confidence in front of goal.

[Barbara 15,149]

Really? Pass to Hazard for an open shot at goal. Pass to Rambo for another Hazard chance....wtf u watching?

he improved slightly at the end of the match, but still misplaced a lot of passes imo.

Hazard needs to work on his finishing asap. It's not about being Ronaldo, Messi, wanting to win Balon D'Or or those old stories. Given his general quality, his finishing is becoming embarrassing. Right now I feel it's more confidence than lack of quality or killer instinct. We (and he) desperately need him to score a good goal from open play so his confidence comes back. He's not a great finisher, but he's much better than he's been showing. And it's starting to cost us points... Yeah, he's the one who creates the chances, but if he's also the one that wastes them, then there's no point.

Don't bother mate apparently every shot Hazard takes needs to be a goal or else it's poor finishing. :confused:

It's poor for his standards to be honest. He is world class in many attributes but his finishing is very average.

[Shane 2,275]

His second shot against the leg of Johnson was a pretty good shot imo, if it didn't hit the leg it would have been a goal.

hazard denied us? he shots has been blocked, the second shot was a goal if it wasnt been blocked

I doubt it was. You could see from the camera angle behind him, seemed scuffed. The boy needs to learn how to stick it in the top corner.

These are fucking shite and we're making them look half decent. Has anyone else noticed that Costa seems to be, nearly in fear of hitting it with his right? Noticed that he took more shots on his left when he came on against Maribor.

[Polo7 3,496]

If Hazard could shoot, he would be up there with the best in the world. Thats all he is missing I think. Cmon Chelsea. Ramires in midfield please!

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

I'm watching BT sport and their half-time "analysis" is discussing 3 nothing calls, which they conclude are really nothing. What's the point? Scholes is the only one who wanted to actually analyze the match but he says his one statement and no one else has any input. Pathetic.

[Barbara 15,149]

Also third match in a row Cesc is struggling... he's been invisible in the attack and has been very soft and gave a lot of space to Liverpool defensively.

[The Chels 2,502]

HUGE recipe for disaster. The amount of space between Matic and Cesc is not even funny.

Especially when coupled with the low defensive block. We're lucky they're so bad.
