Under the laws of the game, shouldn't Christensen have just let that ball smash him in the face, rather than him being allowed to block his face with his hands? Probably harsh, but rules are rules.

Zambrano conceded a similar penalty for us in the Copa America, and I actually agreed with the decision as much as it annoyed me. Everyone was telling me its nature, but that's not what sport is about.

It's ridiculous. Nature means we protect our heads and bollocks. You can't penalise people for stuff so close. 

Agree with that, just surprised they never took a look even if they ruled it as no penalty.. They may well have flagged it and the ref wants to not have to rely on it?? 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Lol my brain forgot what year we're in. I saw Lampard out on the touchline in his tracksuit and I thought "I'm surprised they didn't start Lampard." He hasn't played for Chelsea in years lol

Probably still would be one of their better midfielders late on in a match

@Dr. Gonzo This is what you're talking about I think. And I agree its a penalty even if its nature or not. Again, that's not what this sport is about, it's very conservative and careless of the player.

[The Artful Dodger]

Salah is too one footed sometimes. 

[The Artful Dodger]

Liverpool giving the ball away loads. Chelsea look alright. 

[Bluewolf]

Unlucky there for Pedro.. very quick to turn and run with that and create that chance, nice build up as well... 

[Bluewolf]

Good to see us playing with confidence.. thought they might have been a bit nervy after the United game but not at the moment.. 

[The Artful Dodger]

Woeful from Liverpool so far. They're in a battle for 4th.

[LFCMadLad]

Well our passing, pressing, transition and final ball have been dire so far. 

[Bluewolf]

Would have expected Giroud to be running in on that ball across there... as it was a good ball across gets wasted..

You can do better. 

 

Our midfield is just non existent here. You wouldn't think we had any midfielders player with how useless they have been.

We started well against United until the penalty changed things and we look the same tonight.. just got to hope that we are more disciplined for the 90 minutes especially if we should go a goal down this time.. 

[LFCMadLad]

Losing the midfield battle here big time. Pull ya socks up you pathetic CL winning twats. 

[Bluewolf]

Thought we were in there... 

[Dr. Gonzo]

I think if we're actually looking to win this one, we'll need to throw Trent and Bobby on

Can't live on past glories mate.. you are only as good as the last trophy you competed for... which was the sausage roll plate trophy and you lost that.. 

[Mel81x+]

We had that coming. Chelsea have been very good.

[LFCMadLad]

LOL

[Rick]

Lol wtf is this? Did these players forget how to defend in the off season. 

Get Milner off, bring Wijnaldum on. Keep the ball a bit for fuck sake. Just not good enough at all this. 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Poor as fuck defensively from us

[Bluewolf]

Great goal by the 2012 Champions League winners there...

Great play from Pulisic. Wonder if he'll revive his wonder season when he first started to break out.

[LFCMadLad]

We are literally losing every 50/50 and every second ball in midfield? 

Get Ox back in midfield, Bobby up top and Mane back on the left.

Stop fucking about now lads.

[Guest]

Offside or not, Pulisic is looking quality. Dominating on the dribble.
