The back line has no protection from midfield. None of the three we have playing have a defensive bone in their body and it’s shown in that half. Chelsea looked dangerous any time they attacked.

We’ve been good on the ball and awful off of it.
Who in the squad is supposed to fill the Fabinho role? Agreed that no one in there today look like defensively minded players

I think Liverpool would be losing this if Nkunku was playing. He really is a massive loss for Chelsea. Not convinced by Liverpool despite their excellent options in attack. Think they'll concede too many goals and drop points as a result

This weekend has been a sobering reminder of just how much I've enjoyed not seeing or hearing Micah Richards these last few weeks

Gallagher has been so, so poor. And i read a post or two on here that said we should have got him over Mount!

Gallgher needs to come off as soon as possible. As does Chukwumeka.

Can see why Chelsea are desperate for Lavia and Caicedo. Gallagher is awful. They should have got their midfield solid rather than spend millions on a defence.

Would they have give a pen or checked if it ended in the net?

I think a penalty there would be harsh. His hand is pretty much on his chest
