Chelsea (H) - Match Thread

[Bloodraven]

The stand behind the studio is half empty. Do people struggle to go without food or drink for 45 ****ing minutes? I just don't get it.

Mignolet back to being Simple Simon

[Venton]

Just got back from tai chi and haven't seen anything of the match apart from the goal. I feel sorry for Mignolet because he's given us enough warnings over the years that he shouldn't be in that position (i.e. the goal) and yet he still keeps getting put there. Otherwise it doesn't seem to be the tonking I expected so far, sounds like we're actually playing a bit better than we have been lately.

[Rigadon]

Without being negative, I don't see Klopp changing his style. So what are the solutions then? He should be a clever enough coach to mix it up. As mentioned above and in previous threads, we've been well and truly found out and against teams like this you're going to find it impossible to break them down.

Klopp's style made us look like potential champions. Biggest difference is the form of our players. When did our front players last have a good game? We're struggling to create chances and score goals.

[Daffy Duck]

Is Mane really injured?

[gratziani]

Thought we started well and had them on the back foot ,

These games show how the opposition are happy for anyone but Cout to be on the ball.

Going forward we need a ball playing midfielder who runs the game when teams let us have the ball.

[Norbs]

Decent performance, started well then gave away another stupid goal thanks to Mignolet.

Need Mane on if we're going to turn this around

We didn't start well, we just passed the ball round as Chelsea weren't interested in playing with it. There'll be more of the same second half. It's how to play us

[labourRed]

To be fair if Mignolet had been set he wasn't saving that anyway. Why he's pushing the defenders up who are outside the box is beyond me though - he's ****ing stupid and we have him for another four years.

[Irishnev]

Similar to the first game where we dominated possession and scored from a set piece and a worldie from Hendo.

They look comfortable and we need to be quicker with our passing, midfield just lumbering around without creating and fullbacks poor in the final third

[DeanoUK]

There's a Mig Moment (tm) every game. Some are worse than others but this coupled with holding the ball too long - its not right for a premier league keeper.

Coco might not have put it there. It was almost like he saw an opportunity nd was lucky that it crept in

[Trippendicular]

We've lacked conviction yet again but **** me do Chelsea get away with murder. Hazard diving all over the shop, Courtois taking a minute to take a goal kick yet Mignolet given no time to set a wall.

[chadrtc]

Between this and the time he held onto the ball for 30 seconds, thats two errors that i've never seen any other proffessional keeper make. Dopey tit.

[baronvonskidmark]

Can and Henderson can't play in the same midfield if we hope to break teams down imo

[Fierce]

I was thinking the same

The rest of the team didn't look ready either, though obviously Mig's fault
