Fancy a score draw myself, could be wrong. Should be a class game!
This will be the most interesting game this week. But cant see you walloping them. Seeing draw in this game or maybe CHE will manage to put one more in for 2-1 win.
In everything bar the goal margin, that was a walloping. Of Chelsea. AT Chelsea.
When Conte said before the game L'pool were the very last side he wanted to play right now I do believe it wasn't just words and that he was deadly serious and genuine.
Does anyone
STILL not think L'pool are a serious title threat? I don't see one side outside of City that's better. And with full week's to plan and properly train between games, we should be looking at attacking all three domestic trophy's
full on this year. Almost as exhilarating as the victory was walking back Earls Court after and overhearing a discussion that had them all in narked agreement when one lad said 'Klopps gonna' bring these Scouse cants back to where they were the '80's.'
I don't know where you start with last night. The performances just keep getting better and better by the game.
Almost the perfect performance bar 10 minutes either side the goal Chelsea got on top. Which you'd expect. It's Chelsea. At home. They're a good side. Years past, ****, last year even, L'pool would of fallen to pieces at 2-1 and not seen that game out. (Seville is STILL fresh in the memory as a glaring recent example.) But not this reds side. This L'pool team fights for each other and backs each other up relentlessly. It was a tense second half purely because there's always the chance they can nick one but you never really felt they would as we didn't concede much of anything. Just like the Arsenal game was to all intents and purposes over as soon as they scored the third and never troubled us the last 20 minutes.
The first half was just stunning from back to front. Wave after wave and Chelsea just had no answer. And this is without our main midfielder Can and Firmino who has quietly developed into one of the best players in this league. Pick a Man of the Match for me from Matip or ANY of the midfield three. Wijnaldum is just getting better and better. Say it again. He's Ronnie Whelan esq in the quiet way he just get's on with doing what needs to be done in all facets. Lallana moved into midfield has just been a masterstroke. He's been outstanding this year and it's carried over to a MOTM performance for England. And Henderson to his credit has put together three back-to-back fantastic games ...... And THAT goal. WOW! After Mane winning Augusts, that's September's Goal of the Month boxed off already. Our previous Captain used to do things like that to inspire the team. Just saying. Right now, theres NO WAY Emre Can get's back in that midfield. And most reds would tell you he's the best midfielder we have. Hopefully Tuesday FINALLY sees the end of Mingolet and strengthens us even further. His distribution again was woeful. And Divock lad, you HAVE to burry that header. But that's being pernickety. They were ALL outstanding.
For 70 minutes or so of that game Chelsea couldn't live with the reds. Just like 'Spurs couldn't. Just like Arsenal couldn't. And just like the Champions of England couldn't. Burnley is the outlier and the complete anomaly to how this side is playing and growing by the game. And even then that was just frustrating rather than annoying as 9 times out of 10 you don't lose a game like that you dominate to such an extent. Been saying it since the first day of pre-season and more reds have been starting to believe the longer the summer went on. Now after navigating the toughest schedule of anyone the first 5, the bookies and the rest of the Country are finally starting to take this L'pool side seriously. Statement of intent. Our marker is down and we're in this to win it!
Oh yeah, our best player, Daniel Sturridge, hasn't scored as yet the PL. And we've done that to London's finest and the Champions
without his goals.
These Reds, Kloppo's Reds, are f-ing mustard and you just can't get enough. Is it Tuesday night already?!!!!!
