Oscar?! We must be watching a different game.

 

kante is the only one who resembles a footballer tonight IMO

This Kante love has to stop. He has been SHOCKING. Arguably worse than most. Terrible passing, not offering in the right positions, getting turned to easily.

Lack of desire and clear game plan. 

Kante doing his job well but just doesnt have the outlets available to him. Matic and Oscar are either playing horrendously or are being marked off the pitch by Liverpool. Changes coming. Game is screaming out for Cesc, we need a little composure in the middle. Ivanovic is porviong yet again last year was no fluke. The guy cannot beat a man on the overlap, with the ball or with a cross. Never a modern Fullback, maybe bring on Alonso and change things up?

If pool play like this for 90 mins and don't make any mistakes in defense fair play to them, just don't buy it. 

Anyone else thinking that Mourinho's title is looking more and more of an incredible achievement with this squad?

Except for those 2 years when Jose got us back competing, we haven't been close for a looooong time. Something seriously needs to change, I don't think this squad is anywhere near good enough. Top 4 is still the target this year, but we should be getting back to competing

Embarrassing first half performance and we look like the team from last season. We miss JT's organisation and for some reason there has been no pressing for the first half hour of the game. We seem to be totally lost and unable to sustain any sort of momentum without giving the ball away. There must be immediate changes at half time and if we don't see Fabregas I'll be amazed.

Our full backs are having their worst games so far this season.

Willian and Ivanovic have been of little threat down the liverpool left.

Hazard offering no threat to their right wing.

Michy on for Oscar please. Guy is pointless.

Out fought and out thought. 

We have been dominated, not sure how we fix this, i dont understand why fabregas isnt in the team, its not like the midfield we are playing are so good defensively that we will miss matic or oscar in there.

Cahill has been poor again, people were worried about luiz, but i prefer him to cahill. 

It would be miraculous if we get a point tonight.

Every now and then you have to hold your hands up and admit we were absolute garbage that half. 2-0 flatters us. We will now find out if Conte is the manager he is reckoned to be, tactically he got it all wrong that half. 45 mins to save the weekend lads.

Oscar is killing us!!! He's meant to be the attacking link from midfield as we have 2 DMs and offers nothing.

Liverpool on paper shouldn't be on our level. Bunch of workhorses, that's all they are. We have been asleep and let them dominate. 

We've played as well as we've been let sadly. We've been outhought solidly. But our effort has been poor.

I think Michy on for me and get Oscar as far away from the pitch as possible.

What has Oscar done that's been poor?  He's actually stopped plenty of attacks, and has been the catalyst to our best.  JW where you see him playing poorly?  

He's been annonymous, no energy, not created anything going forward, he's lost the ball a lot & he's getting bullied in there.

 

Costa has been the catalyst for our best stuff going forward, he's the only one who seems to be able to hold it in.

it's annoying to see chelsea unable to use best starting xi because the manager is timid...

Liverpool win this and they've 7 points out of 9 from away trips to Arsenal, spurs and us. That is top 4 form

We're cursed I tell yee cursed and it's all Eva's fault....

 Glad I backed up to smash them...without JT organizing we look like a pub team at the back...Cahill has been very poor luiz has been far better, we will see what conte is about second half 

Yeesh.  Hope it improves. Sadly don't think it will.

Embarrasing to say the least!!!.
