Pizy 18,918 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blusan Alamb 295 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Bring Pedro on for Bakayoko, switch to 4-3-3. ATTACK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXL70 396 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 We dominated by large the first half. Now let's destroy Liverpool in the second half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Just now, It's too big said: 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. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabregas would have scored from that Hazard pass. How many goals does Drinkwater have in his career? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan 17,958 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 When we decided to attack, we were actually getting into interesting positions, and without a real struggle. Liverpool's defence has been horrible but we are not there to exploit it which is shame. As someone said, the points are there for taking. Just go for it.

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Bakayoko is playing like a pregnant woman by the way. Terrible performance from him. Might as well sub him out for Fab halftime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 That dude at liverpool, Salah or something would fit very nicely on our right side.... Good game, very even, but pool still has Mane and Firmino on bench, not sure whats our joker in second half. Hope we dont catch fatigue from midweek.

FabHazard 655 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Bakayoko has been trash..Not sure what he offers to team..We should atleast try to dominate them and play more positively from now on...Bring on Cesc for Baka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
