Chelsea vs Liverpool: Match Thread

[danperkins]

Such a bad first half.. Can't pick om player from us that has played well.

Coutinho and Oscar were swapping shirts too, ****ing joke when we're 2-1 down in a game like that and the first thing they're thinking of is swapping shirts

I hate this. It should be a war until after the game. Lack of respect.

[ric.williams]

What a frustrating half.

And Glen Johnson, sort yourself out ffs.

He needs to get a grip. Useless so far

[Fredo]

Needs a kick in the bollocks.

Why?

People can swap shirts any time in the game ffs.

Chelsea have been the better side. Pressed us well and didn't allow us to play from midfield. It's showing now how far we are from the top 3 sides. We won't get anything out of this match. Move on to the next.

We really lack an imposing midfield presence.

Henderson, Lucas and Allen are all muscled off the ball with ease.

It looked to me like Oscar pushing for the swap not Coutinho.

[Rigadon]

Very poor performance. Our midfield three have gone missing on times. We're allowing Chelsea to dominate the middle of the field. Having said that, Chelsea are closing us down very well.

Sterling.

Time to move on from Skrtel, Lucas and Joe Allen IMO.

I agree about Allen, but although Lucas is part of the midfield that is getting overrun, once on the back foot he's bound to get caught, commit fouls etc. if the team plays well, Lucas will. Not necessarily true for the other two.

Not swapping shirts ain't gonna solve our problems of course, but it's out of line IMO.

Sackings required.....

[Marina]

Yeah, you said

Oh, you noticed? Very few of you acknowledge most of the things I say AND I'm annoyed that so many were complacent about this game

[Fosterbloke]

Couldn't give a **** about swapping shirts, makes no odds to our performance in the first half.

[BobTheCharmer]

Johnson has been dreadful for months. He seems to want an eternity on the ball every time. Defence in general but especially right back is where we need to be spending in January.

Johnson has the look of someone going through these motions, has he been told no new contract unless pay cut?

[Daniel 7]

Nah, that shirt swapping bollocks isn't on, **** that

Hendo is really battling as I'm sure if Gerrard was available, he wouldn't be playing with his injury.

Nothing on the bench to turn this round so just going to have to adjust our set up. Suarez hasn't got a chance.

Eto'o should have been sent off though for his tackle though.
