Really? I've had plenty of fun so far

BorneTobyWilde

Magic touches by Sturridge

BorneTobyWilde

Moreno again dives in, now we have a corner to face.

BorneTobyWilde

Ox needed to play that first time, geez .

Let's count how many times hazard throws himself to the ground.

BorneTobyWilde

He cost a good Doc her job doing that, and then refused to perform for Jose after the fallout.

BorneTobyWilde

Gerrard would have taken Hazard out there, Coutinho just let him by.

Lets count how many times he rinses Pool's defence

BorneTobyWilde

OX with whole field ahead of him empty, turns back into men.

It'd be boring if we were just posting in the Liverpool or Chelsea thread etc. The beauty of the match threads is it brings in all fans.

And Mick.

Hazard is really good at it though. He actually throws himself at the player to instigate the contact and then falls. It's actually impressive.

Milner with the trekkers

Some call it running

Harry Palmr

Coutinho not quite at it so far.

SlickRic

Henderson and Ox superb so far.

GreNoLi

Chelsea appear confident, few weaknesses if any.

Fromvert

Milner should be sliding Salah in there

doc_17

No wonder Klopp is annoyed. Milner, you donkey

~Rebel~

Horrible feeling Sturridge is gonna break my heart today with lazy runs and poor finishing :-/

Especially after Firmino getting on the scoresheet midweek was one of the bright sparks.

monkey9

We just don't have that dynamism up front. Good to see Lallana back.

Come on. No other player spends more time on his arse than him.

Harry Palmr

What the feck is Beglin on about re Mane and Firmino being DROPPED rather than rested?

~Rebel~

Very good start from Moreno to be fair. Him and Ox have impressed.

mada999

sturridge a little slow innit

needs to stir it a bit ..

mada999

not a bad save... going under legs

BorneTobyWilde

Sturridge making a mug of Kante

~Rebel~

Dammit, another potentialy quick corner break, and it's unfortunately the slow Sturridge who ends up with the ball at his feet.

BorneTobyWilde

Moreno again, just diving in. Lucky it was our throw,

Fromvert

Matip is so slow on the turn, moves in slow motion. And Milner has been poor in poccession a few times

Great from Mignolet

~Rebel~

Brililant stuff from Mig - Chelsea should be 1-0 up.

He was surrounded in no space and won a freekick.

mada999

too easy there.....

mig did well....lucky it was drinkwater that was through

Moreno and Mig did well there

Utopia Parkway

Milner has been awful. Looks old.

BorneTobyWilde

Pin balls

~Rebel~

Can practically see the PTSD flash before the Liverpool player's eyes at every corner.

mada999

pinball wizard... right there

Harry Palmr

Henderson letting Hazard runabout the place.

BorneTobyWilde

Klavan boss there.

BorneTobyWilde

Bench is stronger than the team .

He did as well as he could do. He didn't do anything wrong. But if someone with pace had gotten it instead, they had a lot of clear space to run into.
