Special mention to karius who in the grand scheme of things saved us a point.

Apart from the perennially braindead Moreno, the whole defence played well. Lovren had a good game. Klaven was sound. Gomez, after a ropey first period, was superb second half. And Karius made two viral saves. As well as killing some Sevilla lad as a bonus.

The main issue second half, aside from a lax, slow start they never picked up from, was the completely non-existent midfield and everything coming straight back. Did we even have any midfielders out there earlier second half?

I'd probably be more P'ed off by the second half shambles if it weren't for being treated like ***** by the Seville Police.

Heck of a a good game of football though if you weren't heavily invested.
 
Lovren and Klavan were actually solid yeah, but I gotta say that Gomez didn't impress me at all. I lost count how many times he got beaten on his side. Not even gonna mention the guy opposite of him.

But the midfield, oh dear... People are pointing fingers at Hendo, and while he didn't have a good game, he didn't get much help from Gini and Phil either. Gini especially is just not good enough to be a starter for us, that's my opinion after watching every game he's played for us. The few times he excels, it's off a good team performance. The rest of the time he's a passenger who takes FAR too long on the ball and consistently kills any tempo on the ball. Even against Southampton, a game we won 3-0, he frustated me to no end. Can't wait for Keita, but him alone won't be enough. Just wish we were in for a proper DM with real defensive qualities.
 
Mad scoreline.
Didn't have a chance to watch it, but I've a fondness for Seville, gorgeous little place to visit.

So I was happy to see them grab 3 goals and get a point.
 
Not sure if this is true, but if it is, wow.

Terrible news that Sevilla - coach Eduardo Berizzo has been diagnosed with prostrate cancer. Apparently he told the players at halftime. What a response from his players.
Wish him same recovery as his team last night.

Guardia civil/ the Spanish bizzies in Seville can go F themselves.

Apart from numerous stories of #LFC fans being subjected to police brutality in Seville the the most bizarre incident was @BrianReade having a book on 'football rivalries' confiscated at the turnstiles #unauthorisedbook #ThoughtPolice​

[FONT=&quot]Calls for FA to do more to protect fans against ‘over-zealous’ policing abroad

[/FONT]I wonder is there any reason why English football fans are policed in that fashion?
Do they have a reputation or something?

Not that, that was an issue this week, but that would be justification exactly how again?

Very poor mate.
 
Good to get back to thinking about the football today as I honestly couldn't have been less arsed about what happened on the pitch Tuesday after the actions of the ****, RoboCop Seville bizzies and stewards.

And the perfect game, for me anyway, to refocus on football. No secret I hate these and their low life support more than any other club. And, the Derby excepted, there's no game I want to win more every season. Perfect with the tea-time KO too. That should lead to a bouncing atmosphere with most having a good few scoops the ale the afternoon. Pity about the ugly weather as I type but such is the Country we live in.

Wouldn't change the team personally from midweek save for Milner into midfield and Lallana if he's ready to start. As braindead poor, as he was Seville, dropping Alby, would send out the completely wrong signal. (Aside from the fact Robertson can't even make the bench most weeks to add weight to the rumours on just how poor he's been in training.). And Lovren and Klaven did nottin' wrong to justify Matip coming straight back in.

A point wouldn't be a bad result but it's these so I'm expecting much more than that.

Up the 'Pool. Mighty Reds!
 
That midfield is non-existent. Feel for Hendo as he's so isolated both Milner and Ox are leaving him on his own. Take Milner off and replace him with Can at halftime.
 
Chelsea missing a key player in Lovren today. Going to be a tough game.
 
I hate this keeper. Seriously been letting us down for 3 plus years now.
 
Keeper cost us the three points with his poor footwork. Seriously did he have cement poured into his boots. Midfield was horribly mismatched, every time Chelsea broke it was only Hendo there to deal with it. Milner especially should not be played in midfield, he is horribly limited and Chambo was equally poor. Nice to see Lallana back will be a welcome addition. Overall a draw was prob a fair result but extremely disappointed that their goal was yet another keeper mistake.
