Liverpool vs Chelsea - Premier League (18/19 - Game 34)

[ntto]

that isn't even 100% true if they lose at Anfield.

really, how so?

Would it be worth sticking a man-marking tactic on Hazard on Sunday? If he doesn't play well, Chelsea don't play well... the question is then 'who?'

Who won't be turned inside out by him, who can put the boot in when required to let him know he's there... who can read Hazard's movement to close him down more effectively?

Fab or Hendo most likely.

Hendo has tried to target him previously and Hazard has gave him the run around, too fast and too strong. Fab doesn't have the pace either. IMO best off killing space and options around him so he doesn't get much of the ball & if he does there is nothing on around him. He's a worldie that seems to love playing against us for some reason, it's really annoying.

This is the game i've been dreading.

...only one thing to do then... give him a good ol'fashioned clattering in the first minute that he'll remember for the next 89...

It's the only way to play against him, kick the Cunt off the pitch from minute one to minute 90. There's too much at stake now for us to let him run rings around us. Show no mercy, boot him to ****.

...that's another way of putting it, I guess

Eden Hazard is "tired" and could be rested for Chelsea's Europa League quarter-final first leg against Slavia Prague, manager Maurizio Sarri says.

The Belgian forward has scored three goals in the past two games but the manager expects to make "five or six changes" in Prague on Thursday.

"I want to wait until tomorrow and then I will decide [on his availability]," said Sarri.

"Of course, we have to play in Liverpool three days after."

They're going to go full pelt against us, not that i expected anything else.

We have had a good rest ourselves though, tbf. Hopefully Bobby will be fit because we'll need his energy.

To be fair i'm sure he'll be diving all over the place as per usual so might not need much encouragement to go down.

We operate a team press, allowing Hazard to pull a man marker all round the pitch will do more damage. While he is their biggest threat he's by no means the only one. We wont keep him quiet for 90mins, he'll get a chance or two, if we keep it to that and do the rest of our stuff well we should have a good result. Keep our shape, press high, stifle service and keep them out of our 3rd, then finish our chances. Job Done.

They just had a very very tough game on a Thursday night in Europe, theY just about managed to scrap a 1 nil against a pretty basic pressing team, in fact, they did not get to rest anyone having to bring on Hazzard who was supposedly tired, at 59 minutes followed by Kante, Willian played the full 90 which is great news as he scares the life out of me. We will be in far better shape than them, we are a better team, we have a better manager, we are at home, we will not take them lightly but we will beat them fair and square, they will have to play their game of the season to get anyting from this Liverpool team at Anfield....YNWA I cannot wait

If we can't beat them I'll be very disappointed, they also need the three points, one isn't going to a whole lot of good. Not sure Sarri is the type to sit back and defending either. We should have too much for them.

Going by Chelsea's line-up last night, I would expect to see this team feature on Sunday

Arrizabalaga
Azpilicueta
Luiz
Rudiger
Emerson
Jorginho
Kante
Loftus-Cheek
Hazard
Higuain
Hudson-Odoi

Is Hudson-Odoi a starter for them now? If they don't get the ban overturned they could be into a difficult next season.

He's started Chelsea's last two league games and he wasn't part of their squad against Prague.
