Might as well stream this match from Pornhub because the scousers are going to rip us a new arsehole if our defence is that clueless 

Another great contribution to the forum from you I see.

If JT's not fit:

                         Tibo

Azpi        Ivanovic      Cahill      Alonso

                     Kante

Willian      Matic     Fabregas     Hazard

                    Costa

 

I'd love to see Alonso start this one, we need a genuine left footer for counter attacking play and making sure that those Liverpool wide men don't have it all their own way and have to worry about dropping back as well. 

Brana in the middle has never been a problem for me, with Kante there for extra security, and Matic breaking up play further up the field surely we could afford the luxury of Fabregas' creativity, Oscar has been playing well but I just think we're over doing it with work ethic over style and chance creating in the middle of the park. Fabregas feeding an in form Costa could cause Liverpool tonnes of problems.

In terms of the wide players, Hazard had a dodgy game but he's a nailed on starter, hopefully he brings his balls this time, I'm sure Conte will light a fire underneath him. Likewise Willian, work ethic is key when you are playing Hazard on the other side, I think he offers slightly more going forward than Pedro or Moses. 

It's the first big test of the season, I reckon there'll be goals. 

Optimistic : 3-2 Win. 

Pessimistic: 3-1 Loss

COME ON CHELSEA!

I'm very surprised at the level of pessimism floating around this thread. I really don't think Liverpool are going to play like they have against us. I excpect our best performance from the season so far. That will need Hazard to pick his head up though because he was atrocious against Swansea. I really think we should play with Costa and Bats up top. It would give Liverpools defence soo many problems. Theor defence is as weak as ours.

The pessimism is only because of the nature of how things panned out yesterday. The performance was good barring one silly moment for their penalty and complete farce from the ref. I'm really confident ahead of the Liverpool game, home advantage and Costa alone will worry them, not only that but I actually think we are playing really well.

Wait, now people here are calling for Cesc to start? :D

Liverpool are probably the last type of side you want to see Fabregas against. A side with loads of energy, athleticism, and who press relentlessly. Basically his cryptonite. 

Think we need Oscar in there again. Thought he was fine yesterday. Plenty of tackling, tracking back, and was also dangerous in the final third. We need as much steel against that lot as possible.

Be nice if we didn't repeat last year and win a handful of home games..huge test this one..and the next..

Whenever i thing about Liverpool i remember our win 2-0 win in 2013/2014 we were so good in defence so maybe that's how i would like to have our line up set up and than kill them in counter attacks.

   -------------------Courtois-------------------

Ivanovic------Cahill------Luiz----------Azpilicueta

------------------Kante------Oscar------------------------

Moses---------------Hazard------------------Willian

-------------------------Costa------------------------------

Now your probably looking at this like "fuck 4-2-3-1" but tactically it could be really good now.I don't thing our defence is bad,Cahill has been really good so far and he can carry the ball just like Luiz so both are starting for me.Ivanovic has really improved since Conte came and with the help of Moses it's only gonna be easier for him in defence. Kante and Oscar are more than capable of protecting our back 4 but also help our attackers,Hazard is gonna cause chaos in the middle but he will also have to just a bit help Kante and Oscar. my only worry would be Willian to fuck up some of our counter attacks as he usually does but he will track back and help our defence so that's why he is starting. I'm not sure if Matic is any good in a pivot anymore so that's why he is not starting for me.

FFS now i sound like Mourinho.

Or 4-1-4-1/4-3-3 which is the line up we are probably gonna play and i don't have anything againts it.

fancy us to score a couple from set pieces in this one i.e. corners, free kicks where our CB's can exploit their poor defending.

Massive match for Kante plus 1 in the middle to protect our back line against their pace. If the defence can keep the low shots on target ratio going (7 in 4 games) then I think we will win by a couple of goals.
