Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Literally all our attackers are nice, tidy players with pace, skill, flair and are fun to watch but can’t score to save their lives. Nkunku out hurts as big time. How many months is RJ out btw?

We might actually challenge for the league with Caicedo and Lavia next to Enzo.

only if we replace Nkunku with Kudus (or something similar, which there just are not that many out there atm)

Shame the last goal couldn't be scored. But it is a way better performance than Chelsea have had for a long time. Diasi looked... Rather bad in defense during the first half, but he luckily scored a goal to make up for it a bit.

Gallagher did a decent job defensively, but it is very obvious that Chelsea are lacking a defensive midfielder, who can also pass it around better. 

Also Nkunku is really missed here. Chukwuemeka isn't ready to start.

Alright..

⏺️ Jackson is the real deal. Focus on signing a good backup striker rather than Vlahovic

⏺️ Get Caicedo in ASAP and Enzo will level up even more

⏺️ Enzo is sooooo good

⏺️ Kudus would fit this team like a glove 

⏺️ Happy to see us press high with intensity and actually win the ball back and keep attacking

⏺️ Hope James is OK.. he was incredible today 

 

Now wrap up Caicedo please

Jackson impresses me rather favourably.
Also RJ was fantastic today.
But the rest of the attackers no. 
We don't see slow motion Potterball anymore but they cannot score.

Good game, we could have won it.

Sterling is sh*t.

Hope Reece is fine.

Ben, Enzo, Jackson were excellent.

What did Reece go off with specifically ?? Missed it

couldn't quite beat them on the field, now lets destroy them in the market. Announce caicedo and lavia pls

If we had at least one of them, it would have been a win.

Anyway, onwards and upwards. Get them in before the next game

Sterling actually played well today, he caused that Liverpool defense so much confusion and his link up play with Reece was brilliant.

That's the deal...

Precautionary substitution considering the intensity of this game, from what I have read.

Not just energy, he is tenacious and has balls, takes calculated risks and puts his body on the line. I have some time for him but not in this position against this quality of opposition - he needs to play further up

Yes and I like all that from him. Unfortunately it's still not good enough at this level.

There was a particular moment in the sec half when he was in the middle of the pitch, and took a bit longer to control the bouncing ball, then he squared it to the right (for James,), but ended up passing straight to the liverpool player. Thankfully the counter was stopped by Disasi.

Perhaps he's employable as sub; we've had worse, but we need at least a better starter.

Positive enough - Pool wasn't up to the task and there are glaring issues in our team, but this draw, and worth noting, comeback and not losing the lead, is something that would be undoable when things went downhill last season. Hopefully it gives guys and Poch some confidence boost, as it will be needed. Clearly there is a lot of pain on the horizon, but there's some light at the end of the tunnel this time at least.
