Liverpool 2-2 Chelsea - European Super Cup Final - Liverpool win 5-4 on penalties

[RandoEFC+]

2nd goal ruled out. Chelsea dominant at the moment.

[Rick]

I'm glad it was offside, but that is just utterly ridiculous how long that call took.

I've not seen us play this bad.......since the first half of the Charity shield

Why do we have linesman now?

Shame, we could have done with that second goal while we are on top, can't see Liverpool playing like this for the second 45..

These calls are taking me back to the Copa America. Confuses the fuck out of everyone.

Gomez looks pretty shit at right back now on this showing

Hes not being helped by the midfielders losing the ball everytime they touch it to be fair. 

Worst performance by us for a long time that. 

It's a good job we are going to fucking wallop them second half

Absolutely no reason that Trent isn't playing. It's one game into the season so any excuses of giving players a rest can fuck off. 

Some very bad calls from Klopp in that line up for me. No Trent, Bobby or Gini is very odd.

Pulisic was the best of the first half. Been a while since I've seen him but he's impressed me in that first half.

[Dr. Gonzo]

I'm not particularly fussed, because it's a glorified friendly imo, but these changes made for the sake of experimentation (at least that's how it looks to me) like it is a friendly are clearly not working. Haven't seen our midfield look this shit in over a year.

Pedro was the best player on the pitch in that half imo.

Giroud's movement for the goal was brilliant. Was annoying good in the Europa League final as well.

[Bluewolf]

Great half of football from us, got to be pleased with the way we have gone about things coming off the back of Sundays defeat.. Expected way more intent from Liverpool but it's just not showing.. a goal for them though could change all that but so far really positive play from us.. Need another though to make Liverpool have to work hard for it, one error from us at the back and the tables could soon turn..

Lifetime contract for Kante

And Kante. Lad has made some smart runs from the midfield. 

As for us, the midfield looks weak as fuck. Need to take control.

[Michael]

Chelsea fully deserve their first half lead. Kante's return has really improved the team. Giroud took his goal well, while Pedro and Pulisic have impressed.

[Mel81x+]

Kante is the magic sauce in that midfield. He's literally harassed and won every single ball we've tried to play down that side and then fed it back to Pedro with ease. We need a change in that midfield and some possession without the easy giveaways. 

[LFCMadLad]

Firmino on. 

Oh and that replay shows we should have had a penalty. Not that we deserve anything after that shitshow. 

[UNORTHODOX]

What a terrible half of football that as, I was bored to tears i think we will lose this now we dont look comfortable at all and Chelsea are winning the midfield battle without even trying.

Such a huge difference with him being there... 

[Michael]

Chelsea just need to get Rudiger back to fitness so that he can partner Christiansen and replace the mistake prone Zouma and then Chelsea will actually have an impressive team again.

[Bluewolf]

Going to be an interesting second half.. 

[LFCMadLad]

That took long haha

[Rick]

And that's why Firmino should always start. Makes shit happen.
