Didn't really catch so many Chelsea games this season but looking at the way they played against City at Etihad & now Liverpool, they look much better than us as a team that I started to wonder why they are so far down in the league table.

Is it because they have so many donkeys in front of goal like Jackson, Callagher etc. or it has more to do with them being game raising cnuts?

The talk of this brave young Liverpool side.

Didn’t they all come on in the last 10 minutes :lol:

Not like they’ve played from the start.

Liverpool team on the field is awful. If Chelsea can't win in extra time it would be a masive embarrassment.

Chelsea should be pressing them and making them run, exploit their lack of depth and therefore fatigue. Don't sit back it'll play into their hands

It's mostly donkeys but they've been weird too

Scoring goals isn't necessarily their problem, although they could be scoring more. They've score more than United but only have a +1 GD. They've let in over 40 goals in 25 games.

That's not fair. He's been decent to great at everything... Except scoring
Yeah, he's been very good (bar the finishing, obviously)

Covered an insane amount of ground and does everything with real intensity. In the 94th minute he went on a full sprint from taking a Chelsea corner to being the man breaking up a dangerous Liverpool counter. True box-to-box performance him.

He'll be a miss for sure.

Meanwhile we started 3 teenagers from our academy yesterday, including Forson making his debut, and all we heard from commentators and pundits was 'United should've signed a backup striker'.

Only took until the 100th minute for Liverpool fans to wake up

They are 7th on the xG table... They still have flaws that need to be worked out apart from scoring but there may be some truth to the donkey theory

Bradley, Danns, Clark and McConnell.... Liverpool are generally just pulling players from the Liverpool pub leagues with names as basic as that. And yet, still this massively expensive Chelsea squad beyond struggling to assert itself.

He had arguably one good chance which the keeper did very well with.
Think it was his shot from Palmer's zipped cross that hit the bottom of the left post too. I'll have to watch again but it was a hard chance as his body position and the cross was a bit awkward though.
