KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Chelsea Rounds 1 and 2

Too many changes but should have still won it. Gutted as it was my first trip to anfield since the 90's.

English refs are a joke. VAR gives offside goal. So clearly shown on screen was an offside when the free kick came in to Barkley. Joke

I've waited years to watch Liverpool without having to worry about Mignolet, Lovren, Moreno.

The last 7 games have been absolutely amazing. Alisson, Gomez and Robbo have been brilliant during that run.

I never want Liverpool to lose but I never want to see those 3 succeed at Liverpool. They are the worst thing to happen to us in a long time.

I don't care if they were at fault for the goals or not but I know we would have let in 2 goals like that if we had Alisson Gomez and Robbo playing.

Honestly hope it's the last we see of them. But I feel it's not going to be.

On to the next game. Full strength side. Optimism back.

Well said Jangles. I would add that if they aren't good enough to do a job when required, they should be replaced in the next transfer window.

I've seen Chelsea playing their best football this season, so for me they are contenders as Sarri looks to be getting the best out of the top 3 most talented EPL side. They are stronger than their title winning side a couple of years back

TiredReds i agree with you. For me Chelsea look stronger then City at this moment and last night I felt they were stronger then Liverpool even though we had chances to win. We need to play a perfect game on Saturday to get a point let alone win. First thing first we must stop Hazard getting space.

We have to stop Hazzard or else it off the supply to him for the full 90+ mins. else he's likely going to score. With Robertson, VvD, Gomez and TAA backed up by Alisson he won't find it as easy, but he's certainly a major threat. We'll have a different team out, so I'm still optimistic and hopeful despite that blow to my confidence. I hope Klopp can lift them and get them fully focused on the task come Saturday. I want a win but would a draw away from home against this side be the end of the world?... (That's what a blow to ones confidence does to one##¥%!!)

I don't think Chelsea are as good as people make out. A very poor Arsenal side only went down 3-2 and could have got 4 or 5 goals in the first half through poor defending. A trait which was also unpunished last night especially by Sturridge.


I actually expect us to go there and win in a similar way to the way we dismantled Spurs. They are where they are mainly because they have played the bottom 3 and beaten them. Their other two games were v West Ham and Bournemouth and despite not conceding they only scored twice themselves. Against Cardiff and Newcastle they conceded and if those sides can get a goal we certainly can get a couple. Our first XI is way above anything they have faced so far this season.

We didn't stop Hazard last night because the ref was awful. He booked Keita for a foul on Moses and they scored from that free kick that should not have been given. A few minutes later and Hazard is bearing down on Keita who now cannot touch him without getting a red card. Any other day Keita takes one for the team there and stops the player. It is good to see he backed off because he was good for cards in Germany last season and a red card would have seen him suspended. That would have done us no good on Saturday and for the City game so fair play to him and Klopp for managing this out of his game for last night at least. Hopefully the benefits of his actions will be rewarded very soon.

This is why there were no English refs at the World Cup this year. In a typical World Cup match from this year there would have been 3 or 4 bookings maximum in last nights match not 8. VAR is a joke. I hate it with a passion and getting it wrong last night only makes my view on it a much dimmer one.
