Genuinely think Liverpool could run in 10 against us

No idea how Sterling hasn't been booked for diving yet.

sterling and ella just falling over.

I would be surprised if McTom is'nt withdrawn at half-time mainly as a pre caution if this sad day & age of health & safety & therfor you may well get your wish

£#%&! me that’s a foul on the keeper? My god

does Onana not know his angles. A proper keeper would know where to dive to cover the post … he dived as if he thinks that’s was he is supposed to do…

Is the ref a Chelsea fan?!

Didn’t want to give our blatant pen. Late challenges by Chelsea. Sterling dive for which even he thought because he didn’t give the penalty.

Absolute #@&%!. Hojlund got fouled no yellow, stopping that counter with shaw too.

Think we will win this, we were playing alright, big gaps in midfield and defence but that’s what you get with this team if you want to press high because there is no way in hell Maguire and lindelof can play a high line .

how many times will chelsea get to kick antony?

Good first half performance, aside from the goal. Getting sick of Bruno’s setpieces and stupid shots from all over the pitch, but thought we did well.

Shaw decides to pass the ball to him on the bounce rather than the ground to begin with

Looking at it again, it’s absolutely bizarre. He seems to deliberately cut his dive short.

De Gea saves that in his sleep

We've played some really good stuff but the gaps are mental. We deserve to be winning but Chelsea deserved a goal. Referee taking the piss and I can see Shaw getting sent off. We're so wasteful when in total control, I just don't get it.

John O’Shea could have saved that ffs. It gets worse and worse the more I look at it.

The shot was ridiculously slow. Wasn’t there an article saying how he’d perfected a technique where he actually got down for shots quicker than other keepers? I can’t help but think that was bullshit.

Chaotic is the right word. We treat the ball like a hand grenade the minute we cross the halfway line.

We should still win , but need to be a bit ruthless. Get it to Antony and Garnacho quicker .

I think if he takes The Scottish Player off and brings on mainoo we win. Chelsea aren’t great.

The big spaces will be there because we are playing with a high press. Lindelof and Maguire aren’t quick enough to play a high line , same with Dalot. It’s why there’s so much space. Either we play with a compact team and not press as high , or press high and sacrifice a bit of space in CM.

Someone needs to put the ball on a plate for hojlund. Badly needs a prem goal .
