He was 1v1 against the keeper!

He was miles offside.

We create enough chances to average over 2 goals per game, we are just shocking at shooting.

Havertz was offside, he knew before he even took the shot. You could tell he was just waiting for the linesman to put the flag up.

At this level of play you score that as a decent attacker regardless, choking miss if you ask me, score it and then wait VAR 😄

That ball was so difficult to take. On the run, on the volley, slightly behind him.

Not having a dig at you CFC but some people on here seem to think EVERY chance we have in front goal should automatically be finished. If only it was that easy. The only player who I feel does miss straight forward chances on a pretty regular basis when they come is Werner.

The only chance that I thought was 100% goal was mane, crazy save by mendy

Should be 2-0 with better finishing. That Mendy save... even Mane wasn't mad seeing his countryman pull that off

The Kante-Kovacic midfield always gets overrun, they play too similar. It only works well like once or twice a season. It's one or the other for me, never both.

 

I am glad kova is healthy for this game because he has been very good

Liverpool's only chance came from a shot around the box (almost a long distance shot). So they haven't been the better team.

To me worst miss is Mane from 2 yards out and Havertz.

Mane was more of a brilliant save. Mendy got his hands up very quickly from point blank.

You got to be joking. What do you mean by overrun.

Yeah if Mane knew that Mendy was this good, he´d have chipped it across his body. Luckily they are not that very familiar with each other. #

Why are they showing a Oxlade-Chamberlain biopic?

"not protecting defense" 😄 😄 😄

Having watched the replays again, pulisic’s lazy finish annoyed me more…mount’s shocked me more cos I thought it was in. Easy to say from here but if he’s gone for placement rather than power, it would have been easier given the ball was behind him. Shame because his run to get there was brilliant and it was a good move with Pulisic, have to give him praise in this instance, getting in a great position between the lines to run with the ball.

This site is killing my CPU, anybody else?

Good football so far. Liverpool is so dangerous close the box. This game will not end scoreless. 

2-1 would probably be fair. We cannot miss chances like that. Same goes to Mane. My biggest concern is they actually have players that constantly score, we don't. Mount is pretty good at putting chances away but he missed that. Not the perfect balance there but still. Needs to be in.

 

 

If Liverpool can push for the title, we should be because their is nothing between these teams on the pitch.

You do realise they are out-numbered in there? Jorginho would be totally overrun in a two against their pace. Remember we have seen that before against Liverpool.

No I'm not joking. The pair of them were getting dominated after 15 minutes, especially Kante because he was the most involved in the game.

You give Mount and Puli that chance 10 times they score 9. Just a bit unlucky. Havertz too, score that 1v1 against the keeper do your job and let VAR think about it!

Created a few good chances just let down by the finishing. They had f...all apart from Mane chance. Still can win this. Come on Chelsea. Another trophy to make it 20 under Abramovich era would be fantastic!

Kante and Kovacic are working like horses, Kante in particular but they are outnumbered in the middle as Pulisic and Mount aren't providing them enough support. They both need to step up more especially as legs tire.

Btw this was the Champions League winning performance level from last season and without James and Chilwell. It´s amazing.  120 metres long, 60 metres wide, 11 vs. 11 and one single player can make everything fall apart.
