Interesting to see the predictions for the Liverpool City game. Just me and Nil going for a Pool win. Nil, that’s a brave prediction!

1-3 City Ed. If we can’t win tomorrow we might as well give up ever going to the bloody place again. ?

I did go for a score draw probably 2-2 as both teams will attack and score.

I originally went for a 2-2 draw, but the natural pessimism of a football fan as the game gets nearer has taken me over. I know City haven’t won at our place for ages, but I can’t see them as anything but strong favourites in this one. We have lost our lock unpicker, and City are pretty much at full strength as far as I can see. Would happily settle for a draw right now!

I think if we want to break down teams that sit deep and soak up pressure. then playing Hazard behind Morata isn’t an option. go for 3-4-1-2 formation rather than 3-5-1-1. i would like Fabregas to be the man occupying where Hazard occupies currently occupies. and i would be comfortable if Hazard is deployed as a second striker alongside Morata not behind him.

Take Bakayoko out of the team for God’s sake ! The man is just a passenger. He is contributing zero. Where is Pedro?

Chelsea man is it not a bit to negative of a midfield Chelsea pick? Itβs reakky only Fabregas who is creative.
3-5-2 at minute but maybe revert back to 3-4-2-1 with Pedro beside hazard with morota up top. I love Willian, would taje him at Liverpool all day long. I knows he not playing great but he should be starting for me. He doesnβt get many starts. Didnβt see the game but going by reports Leicester could have won. They are vastly improved under Puel

Bakayoko just doesn’t look to have settled in this side. For all Conte’s moaning about not getting his choice of players in also, I think it’s pretty clear Morata was his choice and he just looks half the player Costa was at the moment. Nobody is even making City fight for this league title!

Chelsea need to start playing the ball wide, getting to the goal line and crossing the ball, get behind the defence, rather than try and tippy tap it through the congested middle, we donβt do that instead its give it to Hazard and hope he can produce…Pagan

Morata has lost his confidence and Chelsea don’t have a suitable alternative currently. Barkley might add a bit more of an attacking dimension but it’s so long since he started a game he needs handling with care.
3 nil Nil’s in consecutive games is poor but at least we’re keeping clean sheets.?
The players need to get their brains into gear though or qualifying for the CL will be very difficult.

People are slating Morata whilst exempting criticsm from Hazard and Fabregas. Both players had been poor for along time now. Hazard hasn’t score from open play since early december against Newcasstle. And since the Real Madrid speculation has come out he has been poor. The question is has he agreed a deal in principle? I have to say i have given up on him. drama after after about his future, and his goals and assistant ratio are poor. Sterling is scoring and assisting better. But Hazard is one of the best in the world? Is he unhappy at Chelsea? Why? Because judging by his body language i have seen a player who is bot bothered to be in fighting for the team. Fabregas and Bakayoko are very poor. They contribute nothing to the team. That begs this question why are we insisting on them? I have my concerns about Hazard playing as no 10. He is a winger who likes to cut inside. Pedro or Willian should be starting next. Take Bakayoko and Fabregas of the team. Put Pedro and Drinkwater in there. 3-4-3 is the way forward.

Surely there should be more pressure on the star Hazard than the new lad Morata?;

CHM-I believe Conte wanted Fabregas,Pedro,William,,and Cahill replaced before the beginning of the season! He wanted Candreva,Bernardeschi,Bellarabi,and Nainggolan in the summer.

A bit like JLP Jim you’re never knowingly undersold on Hazard.?
Morata is the main striker and clearly is not playing with confidence and is missing chances tbh I would be more worried if he wasn’t in the position to miss those chances his fortunes will turn around sooner rather than later as will his confidence when he starts to put the chances away again .
I haven’t seen today’s game so can’t comment on Hazard’s or Fabregas’s performance and I’m not sure who has. Conte has suggested that both Hazard and Fabregas were tired which was why he substituted them.
There is too much reliance at Chelsea on Hazard and imo Chelsea need more than one potential game changer.
8 games in 24 days isn’t helping and I think the Arsenal game on Wednesday night took a lot out of the players.
Fresh legs with Barkley might help although he’s recovering from a serious injury and lacks match practice although I suspect he probably will be in the squad for the Norwich game.
Chelsea have to find their shooting boots soon though or they will end up kissing a CL place goodbye which could have the knock on effect on Summer recruitment.

Big Jim
Yeah you are right there there. Hazard needs to spend more time in the box than he spends deep in midfield. He is creating jam in the middle which. He is taking Fabregas position. Which forces Fabregas to drift out wide. That makes him ineffective. Morata got zero service today. Who is to blame? Him or our creative players?

2 correct scores and 2 correct outcomes, pretty chuffed with that π
You just know, Everton would just ship in goals the way they did last night and now that’s a danger for us as we could slide out of the top 4 with any form of defeat.
