Chelsea-Liverpool Match thread

It's not just defensively. They're hot garbage when we have the ball. Gerrard is a bystander, Sahin is hiding in his shell and Joe Allen is getting worse every week. He's started to make a habit of losing the ball and defensively everything just runs through him.

i think joe is getting overwhelmed. he needs lucas alongside him

11 games into the season and only 2 wins. 12th in the table with 11 points and a GD of -2

Any idea what the Bodge's record was like after 11 games?

Can't get over how disappointing Sahin has been.

All the midfielders have been disappointing, not just today for alot of the season.

Edit: and out best option for changing things in this area (today) is Henderson

Can't get over how disappointing Sahin has been.

not the player i saw at dortmund. probably our fault. we cant half ruin a player

Henderson and downing on for enrique and sahin. Start to win the midfield battles and use thw ball properly. hendo and allen can shield the back three all day long giving suarez gerrard and sterling morw freedom. Downing and johnson will provide the width.

Can't get over how disappointing Sahin has been.

He's at the level of Downing and Henderson in mental resilience.

it's a real head-scratcher isn't it?

This place will go into meltdown if he brings Joe Cole on at half time LOL

Are we not exactly even based on the equivalent games last year (ie teams not match order)

He did spend a season rotting in Madrid. Give him a little more time.

It's so **** watching Liverpool at the moment,well most of the season. We are so bad it's embarrassing.

Torres stands a couple of feet away and blocks a free kick being taken sideways - used to be a booking in my day, seems to be allowed now....

They didn't have subs in your day

How the devil are you Apollo
