As if things couldn’t get any worse………

Anthony Taylor - Match referee

Klopp is isolating after a positive test with a few staff members but no more playing staff have tested positive. 

So it looks like Liverpool will have Klopp, Allison, Firminho and Orgri missing tomorrow. Not too bad. Hoping we can take advantage of it but we are on our knees.

remember the Pulisic situation against Brighton. The VAR did not even check. Here the referee is coming to the rescue of Man City.

VAR should have corrected Dean on 2 clear Penalties against Brighton. Whoever operated it clearly wanted to give us nothing, just like Dean.

That said Mount should have been in Dean's face like Ballack would have been after the handball. Instead he gave up on it, not good.

Ironic after Gerrard missed our game last Sunday the man he expects to replace misses this one.

And yeah Liverpool are missing their keeper and two subs, big whoopee do.

Mike Dean gives him a run for his money.

Lol I’m not without my faults but fairly confident I have pretty much zero in common with THAT Dean! 

Funny how it is all of Liverpools second choice forward line that is out.

Don't know if I really even want to watch this. 

Obviously, I will, because I'm a glutton for punishment. But I can't see anything but a defeat and probably a big one.

Well at least we are at home that makes me think we might get a point.

Klopp won't be able to influence the ref too.

Liverpool have not and will not request the game to be postponed. 

And why would they? We are a mess and aside from Allision, Thiago and Robertson, they are only missing subs, manager and coaches. We are in a far worse state and Salah and Mane will want to sign off in style.

Personally I say f*ck it. Play an attacking side cause we won't won't keeping a clean sheet.

If Silva is back:

 

Chalobah

Silva

Rudiger

 

CHO

Kante

Kovacic

Pulisic

 

Havertz

Mount

 

Lukaku

 

If Silva does not play:

 

Mendy

 

Dave

Chalobah

Rudiger

Alonso 

 

Kante

Kovacic

 

CHO

Mount

Pulisic

 

Lukaku

Rom should give his answer to this nonsense on pitch. 
 

As long as fans don’t turn on him. I’m there tomorrow and hope the fans are behind all 11 on the pitch.

Tuchel considers dropping Lukaku for Liverpool game following talks between the pair. Some sources even fear he may not be part of the squad. Chelsea not commenting, Lukaku sweating on his place. 
 

From Matt law 

I’m gonna miss the game due to family stuff 

got to say I’m not that gutted

Good. We need more drama. 

Got to dislike the media for their timing of the Rom debacle, sat on it until just the right moment came along, players a mug as well for arranging the interview personally that’s a given. Well if he’s out of contention it’s Pully or  Havertz as false 9. Last game  up at Crapfield we drew with 10 men!  Keep the Faith😉

Havertz hasn't played for a while. He's not going to go straight in to starting. It'll be Pulisic again unfortunately, meaning another game of little to no chances.

Lukaku or no lukaku we are not winning the game so ideal to punish him here if you are going to do it. 

However then when we look inept going forward and don't score also means "Lukaku sources" can say "see this is why you should play me.
