When Liverpool got the decision in their favour, the ref is fair. when they don’t the ref is bonkers. i rest my case this is my last post in this subject.

I knew the way Klopp was berating the Ref suggested he was orchestrating something. and we have Anthony Tylor sending off a Chelsea player in a crucial match for how much I don’t know but coincence?

13. Mendy
2. Rudiger
3. Alonso
4. Christensen
5. Jorginho
7. Kante
9. Lukaku
19. Mount
24. James
29. Havertz
28. Azpilicueta

That is the line up saw on the Chelsea page. not sure how accurate it is. but it seems that Havertz is trusted more than Werner. as for the rest, there is no contest.

Let us hope we tie him immediately Nine, he has been improving as a defender under Tuchel. and he is entering his prime now. I think Tuchel will be to Christensen what Mourinho was to Terry when he first arrived at Chelsea. I believe Tuchel will have a similar impact on Christensen to the one that Mourinho had on Terry.

I think Liverpool will top their group without any problem. Athletico are not the team were in the years gone by. and Milan is not the force they once were. so if I was a Liverpool fan I would be delighted with the draw. of the four English teams, United got the best draw, and City got the toughest, followed by I don’t know who to pick between Chelsea and Liverpool.

Sounds awesome song Nine. what a rollercoaster 12 months it had been for both Jorginho and Tuchel. this time last year, many people including myself have been giving Jorginho the stick and have written him off. boy! he has proven us wrong and I wouldn’t trade him another midfielder now. thanks to Tuchel, his game has taken a notch higher. and it’s not him alone, Mount seems to have also developed his game under Tuchel, Reece James has also improved his overall game, Kante has also taken a notch higher, Havertz is also on the right track, although he is not yet there. Rudiger is among in that group, Christensen and even Kovacic has improved his ball retention. and he has revived Alonso and Azpi, Chilwell even said Tuchel has challenged him and improved him. the only two players who I felt haven’t improved under him are Pulisic and Werner. and in Pulisic case, injuries have played a part.

Ngolo Kante and Eduard Mendy have also won the Uefa best midfielder and best keeper. it has been a clean swoop for Chelsea bar the defender. and I have no complaints about the winner.

By all accounts if Pulisic was fit, he would have started this game because of his technique and speed, but unfortunately Covid19 has robbed him off this opportunity. He is also a goal threat. Also Mount will also start. That makes a toss up between Havertz and Werner. I would go for Werner because of his speed.

I hate facing Liverpool, they are always a difficult team to play against. They play intense game, they never give you time to organise. This is where Tuchel’s credentials will be tested. The two coaches are veey good coaches, both are winners. I think it will be a very tense match. Any team can win, but Liverpool has a slight advantage by virtue of playing at home with the fan base behind them. But Tuchel will have his plan. If Kante and Jorginho are fit, then we will fine in midfield. But I hope we don’t under estimate the dangers that the Liverpool wingers and fullbacks pose and the damage they could do if we give them space to operate.

That is likely true mate. I remember he was the one who priced Chelsea out of the Lukaku deal in 2017. because there were reports that Chelsea had even reached an agreement with the striker, but Mino Raiola wanted a £20m agent’s fee which Chelsea refused to agree. and that is one of the reasons why Chelsea never deals with Mino Raiola. I was reading that Lukaku has changed agents and that was why the deal has been concluded without any problem.

According to the daily mail reports today, Halaand’s agent Mino Raiola demanded Erling Haaland was paid £820,000 PER WEEK to join Chelsea, with a £34m agent’s fee AND a salary for himself in a £257m package. and that is why Chelsea turned to Lukaku which I think was a great decision. I really don’t think Haaland would fit Chelsea the way Lukaku fits. I have now seen why Chelsea avoids dealing with Mino Raiola, the guy is super greedy.

I would rather play these fixtures this early rather than play during the Christmas season. Teams are not sharp now and you need to face them early. That was what helped Liverpool in 2019/20 season. They have played all the key games early, and during the festive seaso were left with favourable fixtures. If we avoid defeat on Saturday, it means 4 out 6 points amd overall 7 out of nine, we are still good. And if we win, it will send a shockwave to our title rivals.

Nine,
Except we have to overcome United who is making a late challenge to steal Saul in front of our noses. but if Chelsea wants him, I trust Tuchel’s influence, and our exciting team who has more Spanish players than United, plus the city of London to sway the deal in our favour. He is an upgrade to Kovacic for me. the only thing that Kovacic doesn’t have in him is goals which Saul will bring. plus he is already a winner which will complement our already squad of winners.

As for Kunde, I don’t think he is a pressing issue at the moment, given the emergence of Trevoh Chalobah. but if the club spots an opportunity for a lower price, then fair play to the club for taking that opportunity. but I can’t see Chelsea paying what Sevilla is demanding now and that is why the club is waiting late in the transfer market to make a take or leave it offer.

I can’t see this game ending 0-0, the talent at display and the number of attacking players on show will make 0-0 highly unlikely.

Rumours are that Chelsea are looking to make a bid to sign Saul on loan from Athletico Madrid. That is a good option to have, the man has enough experience, won Laliga, played CL finals, scores goals from midfield, and at 26 he is entering his prime. He is the perfect addition to our squad. I hope our club includes an option to buy him with reasonable fee.

Sean,

I think Liverpool have the best CB in the world in VVD, the best full backs in Arnold and Robertson, the best wingers in Salah and Mane. But Matip? am not sure. There will be a number of good battles all around the pitch. And i think both managers are tacticly astute. For me this game will be won or lost by tge number of individual errors each team makes. Both teams are balanced. Alonso and James are not that far behind. Jorginho and Kante are two of the best holding midfielders, if somehow Tuchel can find a way to accomodate Werner and Lukaku and overload the midfield, then Chelsea will have a chance. But playing Liverpool when they are on their game is not easy, because you don’t know what you will get. You know what you will get against City and can prepare for, what you can get agsinst United. But with Liverpool, you never know what you will face. But i trust Tuchel, he is one of the best coaches in Europe.

I would take a draw if we are not good enough, because it’s better than a defeat😊. But at this moment, i’m not keen on a draw. Liverpool is one of the best teams in the world and Klopp is one of the greatest managers in the world. So a draw with them is not that bad. But i still would be keen to see Chelsea have the belief that we can win the game and not sit back.

Granted that Liverpool has the fire power and pace upfront, we are also good in that deparment this season. Lukaku and Werner up top would be a nightmare for any defence with pace and power. We also have Ziyech one of the most creative midfielders in the PL. Add that to Mount who is one of the best box to box midfielders at 22. With our strong midfield also great. Alonso and James can match Arnold and Robertson. Liberpool’s wingers are a class above ours, their CBs? VVD is a class above our defenders, but i’m not sure if Matip is anywhere near Rudiger. And you have Azpi? The game is evenly balanced and any team can win. Although Liverpool has a slight advantage by virtue of being the home team, with the crown behind them.

I would want us to go there with the intention of winning the game. Liverpool is a very tough match, but they are bot unbeatable. We can beat them if we get right. I would love us to go two up top and play Werner alongside Lukaku. They could compliment each other. One has pace and the other has power. In the middle i would play a flat 3 midfield trio of Kovacic, Jorginho and Kante. I would select the same back 3 and wingbacks for this game due to fitness as Chilwell hasn’t played a game since 29 May. That team would give Liverpool a run for their money.
