Pre Match: Chelsea (H)

[Brizzle]

Lots of comments on this across threads so time to get this one up. Robbo back, Matip back and I imagine Gini also back.

For me - Gini has to partner with Fabs, i think they play well as a duo. Hendo in form of the last 120 minutes should be on the pitch but as others have said it seems harsh on Naby. Maybe Naby's form suggests he might actually be considered as a replacement in the middle (along with Millie). Nice problem to have.

For me, this trio only works if the one given the advanced role doesn't have too many defensive responsibilities.

-----------Alisson-----------
TAA--Matip--VVD--Robbo
--------Gini----Fabs---------
-----------Hendo-------------
--Salah--Bobby--Mane--

Sky's one minute preview this morning showed Stevie's slip of five years ago from three different angles. They also spoke to three Chelsea fans. Two from Ireland and one from Norway.

Dublin Reds -

Fate, a teenage daughter and Shawn Mendes have conspired to dictate that I need to be in Dublin this Sunday afternoon. I normally try to avoid the right hand side of the country at all costs, but sometimes needs must.

So I am looking for a pub recommendations for watching the match - I don't particularly want heavily crowded places, somewhere I can ideally sit with a pint & have a good view of a screen. Also needs to be not too far (on foot) from the 3Arena as I have to drop the brat there for about 3.30

Any suggestions warmly welcomed

Try the bar here https://kavanaghs-marino-house.business.site/ Tom.
Its about five minutes drive to the three arena, has a big screen and isn't usually too busy.
It does a cracking pint of Guinness too if that is your poison

Thanks Count - I may need to be a bit more in the city direction, so the missus can go spend money, while I drink it. But I'll see if I can persuade her to come out this way as it looks promising

I doubt you will find a quiet bar showing the game in the city centre.
There will be plenty but they will be fairly rammed I'd imagine.
This one https://trinitybarvenue.ie/ is an unofficial Liverpool pub on match days.
I went there last year for the Champions league final.

I fear this is the day our title challenge dies.

Win Sunday and there will be huge pressure in City against Spurs

I like how you embrace all possible outcomes, just in case.

Appreciate the pointers - I will see what I can do to persuade her she'd love to go to the quieter one. I was going to ask her to pick me up Saturday night after a piss up, but maybe I'll drop that to earn credits

 

[Brizzle]

Kante, Hazard & Higuain all rested tonight

 

[Mystic]

Cunts.

 

[Mystic]

On the bench, or not in the squad?

 

[rurikbird]

All 3 on the bench. Hudson-Odoi not in squad.

 

[Hansern]

On the bench

 

[keniget]

That’s annoying.

 

[doctor_mac]

They've been seriously under pressure all game. Let's hope Prague make them pay the price for it.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Hazard is on, hopefully he'll be off again soon.

 

[Hansern]

Kante on aswell

 

[Mamma Mia]

4-1

Chelsea fans singing racist songs about Mo and Liverpool respond


Liverpool Football Club have released the following statement:
The video circulating online, showing vile discriminatory chants being aimed at one of our players, is dangerous and disturbing.
Already this season, we have seen repulsive discriminatory abuse inside stadiums in England, Europe and across the world; abuse that was captured on devices and put into the public domain. We have also witnessed numerous hateful attacks on social media.
This behaviour needs to be called out for what it is - unadulterated bigotry.
Liverpool Football Club believes it is the responsibility of those in positions of authority, following proper process, to act urgently to identify and then punish anyone committing a hate crime.
There is no place for this behaviour in football, there is no place for it in society. A crime of this nature has more victims than any individual it is aimed at and, as such, collective and decisive action is needed to address it.
As pertains to this latest incident, the club is working with Merseyside Police to ascertain the facts around this footage with the aim of identifying individuals featuring in it.
In addition, we are working directly with Chelsea Football Club on the matter. We thank them for their condemnation and a commitment to act urgently to identify any individuals responsible

 

[Ijg]

I fucking hate that despicable vile, racist cunt of a club. I fucking despise them, the fact my ex’s family are all Chelsea fans makes me hate them even more.

I fucking hope we absolutely fucking smash them to cunting pieces.

Wankers. Rent boys.

 

[ocja]

They might sing that during the minutes silence on Sunday there's no way they will shut
up for a minute

 

[doctor_mac]

Cunts got a late winner.

 

[Brizzle]

Their Kepa was flapping about all game apparently. Would love another GK howler in front of the kop

 

[Dreambeliever]

At least Kante and Hazard came on and played some minutes.

Our boys will have had 5 days rest.

 

[doctor_mac]

There's a collective panic about this game for obvious reasons- the slip, the fact they have one of the best players in Europe in Hazard. But I just fancy us in this game. We're so many points out in front of them for a reason. They're nowhere near as good as Spurs, I just want us to attack them hard.

 

[Fallon]

37 at home without loss? Think these pussies will stop it being 38? Nah!

 

[Frogfish]

Oh FFSF !

 

[Farkmaster]

Oh FFSF !

They are definitely the biggest threat to do it in a while, and have some decent form.

Plus they haven't reminded me as recently why I fucking hate them, which gives me the fear.

 

[Brizzle]

I think it is because they feel like the last major threat in our run in. Obviously no game is a humdinger but this isn't quite the Chelsea side that rolled over to lose 6-0 against City - they appear to have found some resoluteness. Either way - i'm buzzing for it.
