Now we can understand why Conte decided to go with Willian. We have a very tactical game, strong defensive football. Matic and Kante are closing the central pretty well, but Matic has to be with more confidence with the ball.

We're going to have a stronger second half, we have to score another one to end up the story here. COME ON CHELS!!

loving the tactics... Conte is a genius. we dont have to win. They need to win...i just want them to lose to us.... then step up for spurs man city and arsenal.lol..

Luiz the only one really giving his all here, need more from everyone

Weathered the storm and looked good for the time after the goal. Keep it up.

I'm sure the free kick was wind-assisted

If you bring fab in for matic we lose defensive control in the midfield. Liverpool have to come at us the more the half goes on. Gaps will open. We are well set though I expect changes with 20 to go

Defintely need to get a second goal. Mane will give them a boost, even if it's just mentally. Liverpool don't look special at all. Very one dimensional. 

We're defensively brilliant but poor offensively. 

Need to keep the ball better in midfield. Wouldn't mind seeing maybe fabregas in and go with a 3-5-2 to control midfield. And we would have better ball distribution to costa 

matic and alonso have been absolutely dreadful.  I think they stay on unless we concede.  We are in a good position, it's hard to justify a change at this point

Liverpool unlucky, never a foul on Hazard...

He slipped...

how bad is matic on the ball!

 

Seriously.

He look's like he is scared when he receives the ball these days......same goes for the fans when they see him on the ball. You can see the panic set in as soon as he get's it, he's far too hesitant to play a pass. He then get's closed down and then he struggles to keep hold of the ball.

I really think that Chalobah is a better all round player now. I'm not seeing anything that Matic is doing that Chalobah can't do.

spot on. Pool are being physical and we need someone physical to handle the adversity. Matic makes logical sense. 

f**k off you cretin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it was a foul, there was Lallana's touch on him.

dont think we need any subs. may be fabregas for hazard later.. i think hazard is carrying something

Never heard Gerrard so lively when talking too someone before. He sounds desperate

Just because it's cheaper than a day at the match doesn't mean it's good value for money. Sky hike their prices year on year, to recoup the contract money they are paying out.

Its a vicious circle.

Sorry but when we expect our club to pay £30m, £40m, £50m for players and build a £500m stadium then I think its only right we pay our TV subs and try and support our club whatever we can.

Gerrard doesn't think it was a free kick what a shock?! Not!

I don't have Gerrard in my coverage thank God
