Match Thread: Liverpool v Chelsea

[jozza800]

Is it possibly because Mo Salah isn’t there? A lack of fear in defending that flank? but our right side is literally vacant - Chelsea can seemingly penetrate at will.

Absolutely zero midfield. Chelsea have all the time in the world to keep picking that pass.

3 attempts 1 on target v 5 attempts 3 on target

Chelsea 1 goal in 9 and a half hours, they should have had 3 in the opening half hour here.

Why on Earth would anyone think this manager can just wave a magic wand and turn this total garbage around next season??

Yep but Cucarella so high - he would tuck in more with Mo out there - seems to simply be playing like a wide forward

The only two positives from us in that first half were the goal and Ngumoah.

[miller0863]

Same old pattern, score through individual brilliance, then sit back and wait to concede a soft goal.

Rinse and repeat…

Doesn’t need to. Only needs to make top 4. This is the point. Klopp’s legacy means that with a rise in spending but still below what’s needed we should be able to still make that achievable. This is the goal remember. The big winning was a brilliant bonus - NOT - part of the design

Scored the goal and gave up.. we took it too easy. we should be losing... this is the same team in Chelsea that got hammered by a second string Forest team.

If we drop points at home to a Chelsea team that have lost six games in a row, Slot should be sacked on the spot. Apparently we've not lost a home game in May in ten years. Is that going to be another record that Slot is going to break?

Oh and we've conceded more goals from set pieces this season than we've done in any other previous PL season.

Yes it's great to see us breaking some records. ;-)

A stat came up, Its the most goals we've conceded from set pieces in the PL era. 18 thus far

Slot is so passive on the touchline. The likes of Pep is frothing at the mouth, literally..when a pass is misplaced and so on.

He does t show any passion. You could hear the crowd groaning at the lack of effort in closing down or to win the ball back. Slot was just standing there. So he is either happy with what they were doing or he doesn't know how to change it.

[miller0863]

Frimpong 0 successful duels out of 3
MacAllister 0 out of 4

Hes out of his depth, so what else can he do?? the players expect more from him. Sadly hes no Klopp.

Crouch has spotted the at is was Gakpo who was just too weak and let his man go for their goal
