Liverpool vs Chelsea Match Thread

I'd rather see Markovic on instead of Henderson.

That would kill us...

Ref is ****e. Won't book anyone in blue

Aye it would appear so.

[Doc_Piptorious]

Impressed with Can.

He is not flashy but he is making sure that he gets in the face of whatever Chelsea midfielder that is trying to look for the ball.

[Mello]

Can't complain about the players' efforts today. We're lucky to be level and it'll take an equal amount of luck to stay that way though. The same old problems are there to see. We don't have any plan of movement that creates space for players. We're simply relying on the individual skills of players to take on 5 men and create a half chance.

He just moved to block his path. Fair yellow in my view.

We seem to be so slow getting the ball forward, not breaking like we should when we regain possession.

I don't think he did. I think they were running towards each other and both moved the same way when trying to avoid it. And their player lead with his elbow, it was a perverse decision.

Lovren, Gerrard and henderson have had nightmares.

That would kill us...

Get Gerrard forward instead of Henderson then.

This season Henderson has turned into Baros. Head down, run aimlessly then give the ball away...

[Kenneth]

He's getting turned by Hazard every time - he can't get near him. Far too slow these days.

Unfortunately so, he doesn't add enough to justify his place.

[SB]

Great start to the match but we are getting carved open way to easy.

Hendo looks off the pace today. Can started great but struggling for fitness & finding it tough in the last 10 or so mins.

[CAD]

He's getting turned by Hazard every time - he can't get near him. Far too slow these days.

Between using Gerrard at HM and playing Balotelli alone on top the plot is completely lost for BR.

It's almost worse than what hodgson brought us in a tactical sense. **** us sideways...

[Kenneth]

Get Gerrard forward instead of Henderson then.

Get Henderson back and swap Gerrard for Lallana.

[Glenn Hysen]

Markovic in, Gerrard out

[badpiggy]

This game is completely passing SG by. Because of the selection and the way we're set up, we rarely have a majority of our players involved in attacking - especially Balotelli who is literally the opposite of Suarez - and we are in constant panic at the back. And where did this bull**** of paying it around at the back with Mignolet start? 5 or 6 passes and then we fackin launch it and lose it ffs.

[Kenneth]

Markovic in, Gerrard out

There is no reason to pick Markovich ahead of Lallana.
