Chelsea Vs Liverpool - Mod Notes #143 and #327

I really wish they wouldn't feel the need to show injuries over and over again from all manner of angles in analysis.

Liverpool started well with the formation. The goal really knocked it out of them though.
EDIT: Gerrard doesn't help them running around like a headless chicken trying to win the ball.

I just can't see where he's meant to be playing. Positionally he's sitting in front of the back four but he's trying to be everywhere at once and as a result is totally ineffective. Playing him up behind Suarez is the only way we'll create anything.

Jesus, Allen.

That's a few times Allen has been caught in possession....someone shout man on!

super_furry

Nothing wrong with that.

It seems to be a flat 3 across the back and middle. Then Suarez and Sterling interchanging up front. They need more players up front to create anything, regardless of who it is!

He needs to come off, head is gone, another booking a big likely!

It was more of an incredulous 'What?' at thinking Liverpool pop up with goals even when they look unlikely

klose

Allen off, gulacsi on

super_furry

Changes needed now, we're getting murdered in midfield.

Men against boys in midfield. Chelsea bossing us.

YOU ARE PLAYING FOR LIVERPOOL IN MIDFIELD AGAINST CHELSEA

You aren't allowed to get owned one on one and get brushed aside off the ball. Man the **** up! That goes for more than one player too. Awful stuff.

Daemonic

Teams seem to have twigged that if you pressure Allen enough, the rest of the midfield are doing little or nothing to help and possession can be won by simply denying him any time.

Fair enough, more of a personal opinion than anything. The games I watch, Liverpool usually get a goal from somewhere, the games against Hearts come to mind for instance.

happyoutscan

This is brutal stuff. Suso coming on.

Hoki

Sahin & Gerrard have been garbage again today, Allen slightly less so.

Nuri off i presume.

daingeanrob

very poor in the midlle today, it's men against boys. time for suso!

daingeanrob

is he offf?

citytillidie

Never touched his face

Strongbow10

Sahin has been shocking, as has Gerrard

Shamefully bad, passengers in a midfield that is basically consisting of Joe Allen getting his arse kicked, I feel sorry for Allen

_blank_

Fantastic save.

Nuri Sahin

Gerrard will be subbed.

daingeanrob

terrible at the back, we are woeful, chelsea second only a matter of time. need to change things...

markie29

could be a bad one for Gerrard

El Inho

is Gerrard as bad as he sounds on the radio (injury wise?)

could be a blessing in disguise going by his recent form

mike65

Torres/Gerrard having a Bates/Reed moment on the floor!

noodler

Penalty?

klose

Another good save by jones

Knex*

Suarez is the only leader out on that pitch and we can't even get the ball to him. Appalling to watch.

Washington Irving

Torres, you knob. Falls over Gerrard and lies on the ground till he realises he's not gonna get anything

supersean1999

peno i thought

noodler

Also that dropping ball which came after that they are NOT shwoing in the replay, Mikel seemed nudge TWO Liverpool players off it when they were favourites and it is just dumb luck for us that he miscued his shot.

super_furry

Sahin really hasn't done it at Liverpool so far.

mike65

Suso/Sahin swap

Your joking right, Gerrard was somewhat lucky there, why he felt the need to tackle from behind in the penalty area I don't know but it could so easily have been a penalty.

Washington Irving

Kinda bad when your attempt to even up a 'Men against boys' midfield is bringing on an 18 year old with less than 10 starts

Stevecw

Great save Jones
