Got a feeling Chelsea will win this. Feels like they need it more.

There’s a PL game that hasn’t even finished and this has kicked off, is that usual?

FFS, commentators and camera operators completely buying into the ‘Liverpool are the only team who suffer injuries’ claptrap and we’re only four minutes into the game.

Why are they the only team who constantly get guffawed about, and especially when it’s not merited?

We know how media works towards certain teams.

considering it's Klopp last season, I'm afraid it will get worse

Exactly. Liverpool are a media darling, especially because of the fact that numerous ex-players are or were pundits (Carragher, Redknapp, Lawrenson, Souness, Murphy, Hansen, etc), and the younger ex-players are still smarting from seeing us do so well in the nineties and noughties.

I think in this moment, Liverpool could field their under-21 side and they will probably still be classed as favourites

If Chelsea fails to win against such a subpar starting 11 from Liverpool, it will be considered a failure.

We would probably be losing by now vs Liverpool and we would blame the injuries :lol:

Hopefully Chelsea have weathered the Bumrushers’ early bumrush here and can now start to get a foothold in the game.

If their pinball tactics don’t work early doors, they’ll resort to lumping long balls and spamming the box with crosses into midgets, which Chelsea should be able to deal with.

Chelsea have zero midfield. Need to take control of it. To many average players there.

Every time this Kelleher plays hes pulling off world class saves or saving their skins in penalty shootouts. Guaranteed he wins them the game today if it goes to pens.

Best number 2 in the League probably

We used to have Romero(?) Who was a cracking second GK

I wish we approached every game with this intensity, I know it's a cup final but their players (as any pro footballer should be) always seem up for any game great intensity and work rate.
