Pre match Chelsea away

[binomial]

No fucking way Mendy saved that, get the fuck out of here/

 

[keniget]

Great by Salah... great by Mendy. Shame.

At the moment it's pretty much a case of when not if we concede. Hope we change things soon.

 

[Red Mullet]

Good effort Mo

 

[Fabio]

What a crock of shit header

 

[binomial]

Why don't we ever connect cleanly from a corner ffs.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Mendy is so good. Unfortunately.

 

[binomial]

Fab 1/10 tonight, just getting skipped at will by Kante.

 

[binomial]

That's just a shit effort by Mane.

Half time thoughts:

1) I said it after Leicester but Hendo is closer to Milner than he is to Fabinho in terms of his career - his engine is just not what it was. I think he may no longer be able to be a starter week in, week out.
2) Think it was RedStar who said it, but Milner cannot be expected to play against the top teams. He's just not good enough.
3) Everyone has said our front 4 need to be refreshed ... but from what I've seen the last two games, we need 2 CMs to play with Fabinho as we have invested in Thiago, Hendo, Ox and Keita who are just not available enough and aren't good enough if we're being honest if we want to maintain our place as a top 4 contender year in, year out. A lot of this is on Klopp unfortunately ...

you look at the average ages and it’s only Trent and Jota below 27 that regularly start with Kostas and Konate also around that age

we need to be bringing 1 good player in each window to replace what we have

 

[Red Mullet]

Plying better now. Mendy keeping them in it.

 

[mwake]

Oh get away. Fabs, Thiago and Hendo is a superb midfield ... when available and playing well.

Sure, when they are fit and available...which raises another issue that Klopps system is highly demanding for midfielders even on an easy day even for our 'excellent midfield'.

 

[Modo]

Fucking hell Mane

 

[binomial]

This is the worst I've ever seen VIrgil play.

 

[SaRed]

Fucking hell Mane

The difference in Salah's speed of thought on that earlier shot and Mane...

 

[Markeh]

This is the worst I've ever seen VIrgil play.

In fairness he and Fabinho did have covid a week ago

 

[Farkmaster]

The difference in Salah's speed of thought on that earlier shot and Mane...

Even the difference between their goals.

 

[binomial]

Jota been next to useless today.

 

[Fabio]

Fucking brilliant kelleher

 

[dmishra]

Kelleher is a star

 

[darkstarexodus]

Kelleher brilliant.

 

[binomial]

Ox Naby Jones for Milner Mane and Fab

 

[Bradley]

Through the crackles, it sounds like Chelsea are on the up.

no, we need 2 top MFers - forget strikers. we'll be ok with the current 4 for one more year imo ... need to rebuild the middle.

 

[Fabio]

The difference between the teams is simply kante. He's been fucking brilliant and has done more than our entire midfield, offensively and defensively

 

[Farkmaster]

This is the worst I've ever seen VIrgil play.

Time for him to nod one in.

 

[Markeh]

I imagine Henderson’s pass completion percentage to be a single digit today

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Kelleher is a star

really good save but right at him to be fair.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

I imagine Henderson’s pass completion percentage to be a single digit today

he's been terrible.

 

[Markeh]

Looks like a midfield refresh incoming

 

[i_rushie]

These little lobs in midfield by Hendo to no one in red are really hurting us.
