Match Thread: Chelsea v Liverpool

I also think he needs to be honest about chiesa , what is it , why isn’t he playing ? Why isn’t he coming on , it’s absolute nonsense , Salah and gakpo stinking the place on and he has come on and got winners , slot has big questions to answer

[justme]

No right to win it your right , but to win it and play like we have played the last 8 games is unacceptable

so we only have 4 points and next to Man-united in the league

[Martyboy]

did you see the shot near the end of the game from Jones? 30ft over the cross bar from in side the box.

Looked like he was trying for a 2 point conversion after a try...Dreadful stuff.....

You think Salah doesn't have questions to answer?? hes been ridiculously bad this season.. hes playing like hes already retired from us..

And also worth mentioning that that was his literal first touch of the ball in over 15 minutes of playing by that point.

And I think it was also his last for the next 10 or so minutes after that.


Says it all.

I mean you could really feel Grav and Szobo's absence from the midfield when they were moved to the backline.
And Mr. Invisible's standard performance was a big part of that reason (...along with Wirtz's continued struggles to bed in)

We have played terrible football for about 5-6 games , no we are not next to Man U but it could happen that’s two lost on the bounce , and we are set up all over the place

[Martyboy]

+4 goal difference after 7 games,letting in 9 already...That's telling...

And the fact that he (Chiesa) is our form player at the moment (aside from Hugo) makes it even worse.

He's scored twice in the last 4 games he's been brought on or played in, and provided an assist in the other (the cup tie) in which he was the MOTM.

And yet he can't get a look in, while Mo gets over 90 minutes playing like crap.

Weirdly and it’s happened forever , managers have favourites and always play them even though the fan base can see they are not up
To it or playing poorly , it seems gakpo and jones are two of those, sport should always be about rewarding good performances, people in form , chiesa should feel
Massively hard done by

I really am struggling to see the point of everything moving Grav to CB unless it a necessity.
What's it gaining except negating our midfield threat?
Sometimes lately I feel Slot is just trying to be clever for the sake of it.
