Neither of these teams look great so far, I’m sure they’ll improve in the coming weeks though. We really need to make sure that we don’t have a disastrous start to the season again. We could build up a nice lead if we start well.

Chukwuemeka is hindering Chelsea. Looks woeful out there

Didn't the ref get in the way there too?!

I mean they're definitely let it flow with the non penalty call and this..

Chelsea have done very well today and they're missing what will probably be 2 of their best players in Nkunku and Caicedo. Definitely a very good shot at CL football

Neither of them are setup enough to challenge for top 4 atm. Which ain't saying they won't do it by the end of season, just miles off atm.

This game would have been better if it happened in September. Klopp is going to make liverpool go all in on lavia. Liverpool will be dead without another combative midfielder this season.

Who's been better so far?

Wonder if this match means the loser goes harder for Caceido? Can a loss be a win?

To be honest I didn’t expect the game to change so much after Chelsea’s goal. Liverpool have been dreadful ever since.

They're not miles off. There aren't 4 teams who are miles ahead of these 2. Don't be ridiculous

I think Chelsea have been the better team but they look quite vulnerable defensively

What is with Liverpool players and tucking in one leg of their shorts.

Game has ebbed and flowed. Chelsea on top now but they haven’t been better all game. Fairly even both looking terrible in defence and with absolutely no control in midfield.

Shaw will be happy that his England place is safe. Chilwell's a decent player but he's made three or four poor touches in this half of the sort that Shaw basically never makes.

Liverpool looked on top and should have buried the game early on in that first half. Should be 3-0 after 30 minutes, but wouldn't surprise me if they throw this away now. Chelsea have more control.

For everyone raving about Gakpo last week, he has been pretty poor. Ball keeps bouncing off oh him.
