    Klopp clearly fears the sack, can hear it in his voice, ''Conte, Vieira, Potters, Rodgers, strange week''

    "Rumours" that Darwin, Bobby and Matip starting tonight instead of Mo, Trent and VVD. Not really sure what formation that would be.

    Have a feeling we could do well tonight. Chelsea have been worse than us and I am not at all convinced they will get the sacked manager bounce.

    Yeah I was always aiming towards Chelsea & Arsenal for the the points from this trio of games, this one the most.


    Benching Salah though.....

    Salah has taken the money and ran, or more like casually jogged, a kin to his performances all season. I've no problem with him being benched. The same for VVD. Klopp has arguably been to loyal and kind to his favourites, while understandable, shouldn't be allowed forever.

    He’s had no shortage of running this year though. Has done tonnes of hard work, especially tracking back - just isn’t getting into as effective positions up front (likely because we have no midfield control to allow him to sit higher up the field).

    Very harsh on Salah.

    He has 34 goals & assists this season, excluding the charity season. Scored in most of the big games too.

    Salah has 22 goals and 10 assists this season. I cant fault his effort so the notion he has taken the money simply isn't true.

    Would not be surprised to see Trent & Robbo dropped tonight. Robbo was terrible on Saturday, but gets away with it.

    Chilwell is basically Chelsea's best attacker now so I can see the logic in dropping Trent for Gomez. But Chilwell does leave space then behind him so I can't see why Salah is not playing too.

    IMO Salah has been absolutely shafted this season by this new wide position which doesn't suit him at all.

    VVD 'illness' is being trotted out.

    Cover up IMO. There must have been a bust up behind the scenes after the weekend.

    Hendo and Fab probably having to play 3 games in 8 days together as the rest of our midfield are perma crocks.

    I presume Salah is fasting and hence not starting till after sunset?

    He is fasting alright. Could be a reason why he's not playing

    I'm not up to speed with Ramadan rules. If sunset in London is 7:38 can Mo eat then, let it settle and warm up. If so, he'd be set for the second half easy enough 🤞

    Arsenal is 1630, guessing that'll be tough for him too

    And Leeds is 2000 the week after, still in Ramadan

    Tsimikas having a shocker. He will do well to last past 20 minutes at this stage.

    Apart from actually conceding a goal we couldn’t have started much worse.

    If they could transplant even an average footballing brain into Curtis Jones, there’d be a half decent player there. He’ll never amount to more than a back up to our back up.

    We'd be 2 down already if VVD was playing,two outstanding bits of defending from Mat and Kon

    12 minutes in and it’s obvious we need to make sweeping changes here.

    Clear offside but Chris Kavanagh spends an eternity trying to find a way of giving the goal.

    We go on these small 5 mins periods where we keep the ball and probe and look ok but then Chelsea counter us and we look like a pub team chasing and falling over.


    They counter attack through Kante and James down the right and centre. Give it to one of Felix or Havertz down that area. That's all Chelsea have done so far but it's very effective.

    Can someone explain to me how fab is still getting a game,and what on earth is Jones doing starting tonight??

    For a midfield that's probably the worst in the pl tonight is a new low

    At least we should be able to dispel the myth tonight that we’re more defensively solid without Trent in the side.

    Flag raised doesn't stop play, so as long as the ref hadn't blown his whistle, the shot would've still counted - had it been onside (which of course it wasn't).

    Rashford got one a few years ago where the flag was raised as he ran from almost the halfway line, with a lot of ground to cover to reach goal - he kept going, and scored. Ref didn't blow, and he turned out to be onside, and it counted.

    This is pure Hodgson-ball. Our only attacking idea is to lump one in behind for Nunez and hope he can hold onto the ball long enough so that he can pass it to a better footballer.
