Chelsea v Liverpool (PL) Sun 20th Sep 2020 16:30 GMT

[Malta Blue]

Saved us from going one down though

[Jezq8]

I thought we were doing ok first half. 2nd half we be really hard now with a man down. 

[IliyaKrostin]

Poor positioning between our CBs and there was no one to tell them that, not from our coaching line and not from the GK.

Christensen had a really good game, I'd say he saved us from goal because Mane was running it through Kepa.

I just don't know what to say, play 10 men against Liverpool and win it, sounds like an impossible mission. 

[abigsmurf]

Liverpool tugged a player almost every attack, did uncalled two handed pushes in the back, thumped them in the back of a neck, ever given. So naturally the first thing he gives is a red to a Chelsea player.

Did he nout ? Mane was getting that ball without Christensen grabbing him. That’s why he’s been sent off. If the ref thought he wasn’t getting the ball it would be yellow. Mane would have been round Kepa for a tap in. 

Better than being down to 10 against a team that presses so much. 

Guys a moron

[AlwaysRight]

Well done Christensen the muppet, was only one verdict when he made that challenge. Good going now, our only chance is to sit back and defend for 45 minutes and hope for a draw.

[sabin6912]

A straight ball splits both defenders and they’re in on goal as easy at that. Christensen has cost us too many times now to suggest he’ll ever develop into the player we once hoped he’d be. 

[evissy]

Put everyone behind the ball besides Timo. Let Jim just run those long balls and hope for a miracle. 

[bisright1]

Unlucky from Christensen, sometimes you just got to do that. The ball was too good. His starting position was poor. 

If he hadn't fouled mane we'd be 1-0 down. 

[haviet1]

Franks have Zouma, Tomori, Rudiger, and Christensen as CB options. Granted, none of them are elite CB; but got to question Frank's love for Christensen. 

Out of the four, he's probably the weakest in terms of physicality and speed.

[MayosNoun!]

We are two games into the season after a great summer of transfers and Frank’s diabolical tactics and personnel are costing us. 
 

I don’t know anyone who rates the Danish ringer except Lampard.  Get JT in as a coach. 

[doctorblue]

Ref will even this one up...

[Seeking Relevancy]

Terrible team selection overall 

God help us in the second half.

Amazing we spend so much money yet still didn’t address our problems at CB. Could’ve gone after plenty of people this summer but the board apparently forgot our defenders are terrible. I mean seriously Sarr and a 36 year old Silva are the best? Silva sure but why didn’t we address this first and foremost 

[SFL82]

What a shame I could actually see us getting something there I’ve never trusted A.C. he just has those moments in him, both the CB’s were having a good game even kepa is doing ok. 

[Remodez]

I can accept a foul like that to be honest. It was almost certainly going to be 1-0.

With the way we’re playing? As soon as Liverpool score it’s game over. We have nothing going forward other than a long ball to try and get Werner in behind. Leeds threatened them more.

No no, you don't understand, this is the break between the first and second half. Anything else you would like to learn about football, just holler. We're here to help.

f**king hell... my sides.. you are so hilarious. And they say woman aren't funny.

Perhaps Andreas didn't trust Kepa to have it covered.

Better to trust your team mate than get yourself sent off, no matter how bad the form of your team mate is.

lol. This is Liverpool we are playing against!

[Gol15]

They just need to score once in the second half and it's over. Christensen will never be good enough for us.

Eh, no we wouldn’t and even if so, we’d have 11 men to attempt a comeback. What an outrageous comment. 
 

Now we are down to 10 men with 45 minutes left. 

[2211]

A really dumb red card, makes it virtually no chance of a win now.

2 arms as well wrapped around him as well, if you can’t defend one on one just run with him and put pressure on him.

 

[smileysmiles]

Can't blame the defence its what you get for putting no pressure on the ball up the pitch.

Which I would take over being 45 minutes against the 11 of Liverpool. We got not much less chance of getting anything now than going 1-0 down.
