Looking fairly septic out there, defender's are getting ran ragged and VVD doesn't look at the race's either, if we can get to half time without conceding again we may have a chance....

Agent Coulson

The last time Gomez played right back we got destroyed by Barca.


The lad cannot play right back.

murpho999

Some of the lads not up to speed yet, Gomez, Fab, and Ox look off for various reasons.

Klopp needs to sort them out at half time.

bur

Henderson and Milner completely outclassed in midfield. Klopp has a serious blindspot there.

ratracer

Is the Ox even on the field??

noodler

You feel Saturday will be particularly tough.

Potential Underachiever

Need Shaq or Origi on 2nd half.

Turtyturd

Doom and gloom being ramped up big time.

Fitz*

Played ok for 10-15 mins and then just stopped. Deserve to be behind. Midfield so inefectual.

It's worrying that Matip has been arguably our best player that half considering he's had a couple of wobbles.

Fromvert

Ox isn't involved at all, as bad a half as you'll see, just anonymous. Defence and the rest of the midfield not far behind.

super_furry

Gomez isn't a right back and it really shows.

davemckenna25

Don't be worrying just yet lads, you can still win the 2nd half!

MD1990

reminiscent of the start to last year except we wont be keeping too many clean sheets turning over the ball so easily.

Van Dijk's worst half as a Liverpool player

citytillidie

Hopefully it does not go to extra time

Pepp1989

Pulisic looks a good player. Would have been ideal depth for us. Would get plenty of game time.

Tonight is kinda showing we have no adequate replacements for Bobby and TAA.

koppy

Van dyke is not making any effort. Slow reactions and no attempts to chase back.

J Mysterio

Matip having a mare. Gomez doesnt perform for me at RB and is good enough to start CB. Just play Hoever if Trent is rested.

Harry Palmr

Well I said OxCham needed minutes and a half would be good - he's had it and he better not come out for the next 45!

Agent Coulson

For a bunch who did care if we win it before the game started there is a lot getting up set now.

This game has nothing to with Saturday.

Funny how you can go from CL winners to negativity so quickly.

Bit early to be panicking?

A lot of us cared about winning this game.

D'Agger

Ox gets a pass for me given how long he's been away from competitive action but yknow... Take him off anyway

Trent missing kills a big part of our game, I'd whip on the young lad Hoever... Hoover, Dyson whatever the feck his name is

Bobby also a big loss, fire in Origi and put him up top to cause Zouma a bit of trouble and win us another game

As bad as we've been, to be fair Chelsea have Kante, Pedro & Pulisic playing quote well, when we get the ball up top we're creating but we're simply getting hammered at midfield

On the field it hasn't done what they hoped yet - but on the field is only a means to an end off the field. By all accounts the club's goal is to become a globally dominant cross-platform brand, rather than necessarily just aiming for football success, and that's on its way to happening. Apparently PSG gear/fashion/apparel is actually really popular with kids around Europe, and the PSG brand is just seen as a cool lifestyle thing in and of itself. Which sort of hurts my soul a little bit.

One big problem I have with PSG as a 'global brand' is they only get crowds of just over 40,000. I mean Paris is one of the biggest cities in Europe. And it has no split in support within the city like London or Madrid or Milan have. They really should be getting Barcelona level crowds considering where they are based.

BorneTobyWilde

Klopp should take off VVD Mane and Salah. Pointless game.

Pulisic cost £60m, he wasn't just some clever pickup Chelsea spent massive money on him.

Agent Coulson

I think I remember a few posters calling my prediction that Ox wouldn't be fully match ready till Christmas bullsh1t and being told he would be perfectly ready for the start of the season.


I think I'll stick to my original prediction.

This makes sense. If people care if we win, they would get upset if we are losing, yes?

Potential Underachiever

Frankie Lamps Chelsea giving Jurgen Klopps Liverpool a bad beating so far.

Pedro and Pulisic movement killing us.

You could get a fleet of Stena Line between Gomez and Matip. Gomez not nimble enough for Pulisic's jinking and jiving.

Getting bullied in midfield.


Hup the boyos.

Osmosis Jones

Biggest problem is absolutely the midfield, they can't string 3 passes together, our defence is under constant attack because of them.

Never said he was a clever pick up? It's not like we don't have that kind of money. You are reading something that isn't there in my post.

BillyHasMates

Not in the game at all. We are very sluggish in general and midfield gone missing. Chelsea picking up all the breaks. Matip only defender that seems bothered.

Gomez, Vvd, all 3 midfielders very poor. Didnt know Ox was playing.

marklazarcovic

It's been one half lads,we been rubbish for 25 mins,Chelsea deserve to.lead,it's not end of the world,few tweaks and game could change quick

What is happening to our defence compared to last season? Worrying signs tonight on top of Norwich getting through and around us a fair few times on friday as well.

NukaCola

Midfield not working at all, feel like we need a HT sub but probably wont see it that soon. Definitely need some sort of change there, tactical or otherwise.

He is. You post against the party line. Different opinion have no place here, sadly.

BorneTobyWilde

I only care about winning if we win, I don't care about winning if we lose.

marklazarcovic

Another nothing,a few players look bollixed,never seen Andy so drenched in sweat,ox same, obviously havin some effect

Tangatagamadda Chaddabinga Bonga Bungo

Always think Milner and Henderson are a bit too similar to play alongside each.

This isn't the game to bring Chamberlain back into either. The midfield hasn't really been good enough.

Charlie19

So Utd beat Chelsea 4-0 and Chelsea are now beating Liverpool 1-0.
I hope Liverpool aren't playing Utd anytime soon.

NukaCola

Be grand, get Origi on.....

Tbf Matip constantly passing it to Chelsea players doesn't help either nor does Gomez being all over the shop on the right.

BorneTobyWilde

Still think we'll win this. Just need some motivation at half time.
We'll be better second half Shirley .

Chelsea have a better side out tonight to be fair.

Yeah but Matip shouldn't have to be the one constantly making those forward passes, when himself and van Dijk are on the ball the midfielders just turn off instead of actually trying to get open for them.
