Dr. Gonzo Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 We can’t hang onto the ball since Mane was taken off. Holy shit the ref goes with us for a 50-50, unbelievable after the last 83 minutes. TWICE! What is happening
Bluewolf Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 At least we have shown some fighting spirit...
The Artful Dodger Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 I know mane must be knackered but I'd have hooked salah over him. Salah just gives it away and invites pressure.
Rick Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Sarah needs to be doing better there, lately him in 1 v 1 situations hasn’t been good.
Dr. Gonzo Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Just now, Bluewolf said: At least we have shown some fighting spirit... Considering that first half, this second half definitely has to be encouraging
The Artful Dodger Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Liverpool giving chances away for fun.
LFCMadLad Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 City will kill us if we play like this against them. We have been really poor today.
Dr. Gonzo Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 How is Lallana getting on the pitch today?
Dr. Gonzo Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 And of course he doesn’t play advantage there... this is why VAR will always be shit, our refs are dogshit and always will be
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted September 22, 2019 Subscriber Posted September 22, 2019 Thank the fuck we won that. Any more of that pressure and we'd have conceded again.
Rick Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Gut wrenching last 25 mins there. Big win though.

Dr. Gonzo Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 3 points, job done. Ugly second half but that’s what happens when Chelsea play like shit for 60 odd minutes I suppose, not gonna last forever
LFCMadLad Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Lucky to get away with 3 points. Really need to improve defensively. 15 wins on the spin isn't to be sniffed at though.
Bluewolf Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Ah well... until we learn to defend simple set pieces we are going to get a lot more games like this one..
LFCMike Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 A win is a win. Not great after about 60 but this team more often than not finds a way
carefreeluke Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 We can continue to look at the positives, the spirited attempt to come back and the number of chances we created but until we do something about basic defending such as defending set-pieces we won't do anything significant this season. Perhaps earlier in the season it was team shape in transitions and defending as a unit that was catching us out, now it's just set pieces and individual defensive errors that are costing us each game.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted September 22, 2019 Subscriber Posted September 22, 2019 Chelsea look very decent for me. Sort out the set pieces and every chance they'll make top four.
LFCMadLad Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Lampard is bang on regarding VAR. Its spoiling the passion.
Cicero Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Not having this 'we deserve more from the performance' bollocks. If we can't get the basics right, we deserve nothing. Wasting the chances we do create and the appalling nature of our defending at set pieces. Three months now the latter hasn't looked close to being sorted. The performances of our youth players will soon grow old and lose its value if we continue to defend so poorly every game. I genuinely see no positives that can be carried onward that we haven't already seen. Liverpool were well below standard. Tomori and Jorginho our best performers. One player returns from injury, two more get injured....

Wasting the chances we do create and the appalling nature of our defending at set pieces. Yea, I thought we had a golden opportunity to score but Tammy decided to go it alone.. Don't blame a player that's on form to try and score but with the goalkeeper bearing down on you and closing down that space it would have been wiser to pass the ball to Mount but it's all part of a learning experience for him.. If he had been going it alone I could understand it more but when you have support in a better goalscoring position you should use it..
Cicero Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Mourinho on Chelsea: "When you start accepting defeats just because your team played well and just because your players gave their best, a performance for people to be proud of… I think when you get used to it, that’s when the big clubs stop being big clubs."
The Artful Dodger Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 He's correct to an extent. Chelsea shouldn't be too soft for Lampard, however there is an element of seeing progression that can be used.
