closed Liverpool 2-0 Chelsea

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Hopefully our lads are up for it. No nonsense from Luiz and co., they have to be focused. If we lose fair enough but just dont gift them silly goals.

Honestly I’d drop Jorginho for this one. He has no pace and cant defend. We need an engine in there. Though it will never happen with the smoker in charge.

Can't go into this game with the same game plan. Liverpool are fast and energetic all over the pitch, and they have a high-scoring forward line. The midfield battle will be very physical. Firminio will harass the holding midfield player (key position for Chels obviously).

Chels will be less fatigued because of the rotation, but this is a game against a better side.

Sarri must make changes. I'd go for this.

Kepa

Azpilicueta - Rudiger - Christensen - Emerson

Kante - Luiz - Jorginho

Odoi - Hazard - Cheek

Caballero; Alonso; Kovacic, Barkley; Pedro, Willian, Giroud

I just hope he finally shows us he can make changes in order to beat the odds. Do something.

It's extremely unlikely to make so many changes. Luiz hasn't played midfielder for years, RLC is not a LWB, Jorginho is only useful as a regista..

I don't think we need that much changes, just need to focus and 100% from everyone. Liverpool looks tired... They were really lucky against Spurs, they could have lost easily. They suffered against Southampton aswell. Porto had multiple chances too and they didn't get a penalty, Pool's defense was not that great.

We need Kepa to play like in Prague, we need our back 4 to work toghether well and don't make stupid mistakes, we need Kanté and Loftus-Cheek kicking asses on the midfield and we need Hazard, Higuain and (hopefully) Callum to create unexpected chances and score.

Kante, Jorginho, & Ruben in midfield is a must. If we start with either Kovacic or Barkley we might aswell take the loss now. The same team vs West Ham should start, only change I can see happening is if we play Hazard as striker and Willian coming in on one wing. Giroud & Higuain have been equally as bad recently so wouldn't be shocked to see Eden there.

I enjoy playing these lot. Out of all the top 6 teams I find myself most confident of a result vs them.

Been a while since we lost there... Then again this season has been full of things that haven't happened for a while.. Stupid 4.-0 6-0 whatever. None of that please!

[Laylabelle 9,534]

After this whole stupid scoreline drama of oooo haven't lost by 4 goals in years.. Oh look now we've lost by 6... This doesn't fill me with confidence. Bloody love it if can carry it on but who knows who he'll put out for the lols.. If Salah scores or mane or anyone for that..bkehhhh

Play him striker for the rest of the season. Always more likely to score than any of our strikers anyway.

Silence for Hillsborough... Hopefully nothing during cause that will just set a whole new thing off..

Never mind what it might set off. What about just respecting the silence because we're decent humans who empathise with other people's grief, and who know right from wrong?

Well you'd hope so.. But considering few years ago you had booing and that during it who knows! The club shouldn't have to release a statement telling people to respect it in the first place. Should be done. 

This randomly popped up in a dream.. We lost 8-0..lets hope not!

Not a fan of your dreams, that's for sure. 🙂

You're right that we fans shouldn't need the remainder. I'm on a club coach heading up north right now, but we're not headed to Liverpool. We're on our way to Manchester for the FA Women's Cup semi-Final. Some PSG ultras did bring the ugly side of support to our recent Champions League game against their women, but, otherwise, that behaviour is completely unknown in women's football.

We'll enjoy the match with City fans. We'll sit with them, chat with them and congratulate them if they beat us. Meanwhile we'll maintain our reputation for being the best fans in the league. We'll support our team with positive songs only. Nothing about hating the opposition, just pushing our team to perform at their maximum. Weird I know but I bet CFCW are more proud of, and more inspired by, their fans than CFCM are.

If I could bet money on the starting XI I'd bet on Sarri going with false 9 in this game

Looks like you might be right...
