Liverpool vs Chelsea (PL) Sun 14th Apr 16:30 GMT

It's up to us to remind them once again that they win f**k all. I can't see it in any other way.

I sure at least one won’t start, probably CHO and I understand why. Better to keep it tight defensively for the first half, Willian will probably start on the right for this reason as Liverpool are dangerous down the wings. Then in the second half if we’ve got fresh legs to get forward and grab a goal or two.

Giroud needs to start this one for me too.

We’ll have a very better idea after tomorrow obviously.

That will be a mistake in my opinion, sure Mane is a threat on their left but Azpi is more than capable of nullifying him. The bigger issue for me is Robertson who bombs forward at ease and racks up insane assists. Having CHO on the right will limit his runs as he will be mindful of him getting behind him. Sure Willian will keep it tight, but he won’t offer an outlet when Hazard is nullified on the left. 

Agree on starting Giroud, but you need someone to supply him on the right. I’d rather have a go at them as everyone expects them to win. Who knows..

As much as I don’t like saying this, but currently they certainly are one of the best teams in the world, capable of beating anyone on their day.

But knowing Chelsea, we always step up for big games (Apart from City away) So I wouldn’t be surprised if we have a great performance. The only question is can our defence hold on? I doubt we can keep them out, sadly we aren’t good enough defensively. I reckon 3 - 2 to them.

 
The two of us have the most late match goals so it could be won or lost in the dying minutes. We need to put a few in early and put it to bed early.

[SIZE=12pt]Yes, recently things have been looking more positive and the manager appears to be becoming more flexible in his starting line ups and tactics.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]That said, Liverpool have only lost once this season. Unlike a good cup run a high league position cannot be based on luck alone.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Because things are feeling more positive at Chelsea I go into this game with some trepidation. They could whack us, and our heads could drop like they did at Wolves, Spurs, Bournemouth, Man City and Everton. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]But who knows …this is football, and this is Chelsea and we might just pull off something special to piss on their parade.[/SIZE]

True a high league position cannot be based on luck... like maybe sitting in 3rd ? 

 
I think the selection today means we see Hazard, Hudson-Odoi, Higuain, Emerson, Kante, and Loftus-Cheek start this weekend. Giddy, it's on my birthday as well. I can think of few better presents than a CHO winner to bring Liverpool down

Yes, I will be very happy with a draw and if we can't get that, I want us to avoid a ridiculous scoreline if we are not taking any points from the game. Goal difference matters a lot right now!
 
We have a great record at Anfield and I don't remember the last time this lot beat us. Maybe in Conte's first season?

Problem is, this season showed these kind of records doesn't matter and I'm not sure what to expect. 

It seems Sarri has turned a page and 4 wins in a row feels good, but we haven't been really tested in this run.

I won't mind if we take a more conservative approach, like the League Cup final against City.

I'll be content with a draw, considering they have only once against us in a cup game. Over the moon with a win, which will give us breathing room for the trip to United.

 
Looking forward to this one. Would quite like to see Hazard, Giroud and Hudson Odoi lead the line for this but I reckon Willian will start ahead of one of the latter two depending on the system Sarri wants to play.

However we lineup we'll have a lot more opportunity to break and counter than we have in recent weeks against packed defences. Plays in our favour.

Always fancy us as "underdogs", plus we have a knack of upsetting title runs. Roll on Sunday!

 
Just been to have a quick glance at RAWK, and a majority of them think it'll be straight forward.

This type of game won't be possible to put to bed early...our team sometimes look like its capable of letting in 3 goals in a matter of 10 minutes.

Lets get into these scummy rat munchers from the first minute, Come on Chelsea.

 


The main reason why I posted this video was because of the Hazard interview - you can take the rest of the video w/ a grain of salt

 
Our record at Anfield is pretty impressive, last time they won us there was in 2012...

We can really destroy their title hopes and put us strong in top 4, we have to respect ourselves and make that happen! Liverpool are playing very good football and we have to respect them, but it doesn't mean we should be worse than them. Sarri finally starting to play some fresh players and we could see how we are looking when we play our regular lineup, boring football without creativity against a low opponent.

I'd like to see this starting lineup:

---------- Kepa -------

Azpi - Rudiger - Luiz - Emerson

- - Kante -- Jorginho -- RLC

CHO ---- Hazard --- Willian

CHO should taste some real tough football and fight for the team the same as RLC. I will go with Hazard as our striker because we have poor options at our attack. 

Let's make that happen boys! COME ON CHELS!!!

Would think a CHO,Giroud and Hazard would be a more effective front three.Yea Giroud is no Costa but his link up play with the likes of Hazard can be exceptional at times.He would hassle Van Dijk all game .
