closed Chelsea 2-1 Man City

[El P. 1,354]

Kante could play as DMF but only against bigger ball-keeping sides. We lacked massively in building up from the back today, it would be suicide against smaller teams to have him there.

HOLY SHIT, WE WON?!!

YES! 

Should I watch it since I missed it or was it not a great performance?

WATCH IT!

We were by far the better team.

One of the best PL games in a long time, super quality from both sides. Superb game - great tactical victory from Frank, Jody and the rest of the boys. City showcasing why they're such a ridiculous team at times but some great performances from our chaps (Kanté and Christensen were superb defensively) to keep them away from the box. And we should've arguably scored 3/4.

Kante and Gilmour in a 2 man pivot is very much an option I wish to see in a testbed game versus a pish team

This. Kante cannot be the lone wolf there

Okay, I'm watching it in full. Although I bet even on the American broadcast I'm going to be hearing nothing but Liverpool this, Liverpool that for most of the 90 minutes. 😷

Regarding Kante, as good as he was defensively, he has to make way for a natural regista at some point in this team's progression. We have to carry the ball out of the back and transition forward

[Jase 43,479]

Liverpool owe us a freaking win when we go to Anfield next month!

By far the better team? I dont know about that mate! Better chances sure but they had such control for large portions of each half and had their own chances. Plus sterling hit the post.

All things considered I thought it was a good old fashioned possession vs counter attacking match.

Lampard has something to do with improving his end product. 
 

Virtually had none at Dortmund. 

He was 19 or 20 yrs old at Dortmund. Giving frank credit for his finishing is mighty rich... look at his last 3 games at Dortmund after coming off of injury. He was a beast. Giving Frank credit for constantly benching the lad and therefore improving his strike rate is just misplaced acclamation at its finest. Yeah, frank did it. Ugh...

That means zilch. They may have had more possession but they didn't even put our shaky defence under any sort of pressure. Possession is seriously overrated. What is the point of that if a team monopolize that but don't make them count? It is similar to us dominating the opposition, creating chances here and there but don't put them away. And yes, the Sterling chance was one but then we also had a Pulisic shot cleared off right on the line for example.

I believe we should use N'Golo and Jorginho who are at the latter ends of their careers, to phase Billy into the team. Billy has both of their best qualities wrapped up in one neat package. Whilst not as disruptive as Kanté, hes certainly more talented on the ball than both. He has the tenacity and the heart of a lion and reads the game extremely well - I think (hope) this is what Lamps and Jody are planning for him.
