Pre-Match: Chelsea V Liverpool (22/09/19 - 16:30)

A difficult game no matter what way you look at it. Chelsea have stuttered so far this season but have looked good at times - they were the better team in the Super Cup possibly!

The lads will want to bounce back after the Napoli defeat as will Chelsea after their defeat. If we play to our potential we should have too much. 1-2 to the Reds!!!

Yep agree with that line up would be very surprised  if different

I'm happy with that lineup and I think we should be able to win, IF our front three can play together, because on Tuesday they looked like complete strangers. I think there may still be a bit of bad blood there and if so Klopp needs to sort it out pronto.

Looking forward to this as i think we will come out all guns blazing after Tuesdays cheat fest.

The famous and deadly front 3 to all grab one each.

0-3 Redmen

F**k off Chelsea!

Do you think ? If anything I thought they were trying too hard to pass to each other at times and over compensated . I'm not sure there is any bad blood but can play much better than they did

Could be you are right, certainly hope so but in any case on Tuesday they played liek strangers, it was quite weird, perhaps it was over compensating as you say.

If there is any bad blood, hopefully they will have got over it in the last game and get back to normal.

1-3

CMON you Redmen!!!

There's no "bad blood", just the usual wum trying to stir up sh*t because he thinks it's clever.

Did you miss the post where I actually corrected myself and acknowledged the other poster was right that it might in fact be the reverse and that the players are trying to over compensate, nah of course not, that wouldn't fit into your narrow minded vindictive narrative would it, bully boy!

Sneaky suspicion Gomez will start ahead of Matip. From what I remember, Matip struggled against them in the Super Cup and I don’t think he had a particularly good game vs Napoli for large parts. He tends to struggle against the quicker players and the way Pulisic always seems to rip into us and cause us problems, I expect he will start on Sunday, Abraham is no slouch either so Gomez gives us that bit of extra pace in defence. I don’t think Chelsea are a massive aerial threat so think it makes sense to go with Gomez. Matip is a bit slow on the turn and Chelsea exposed that quite a bit a few weeks back so would no doubt look to do the same again.

Nothing against Matip, he’s been rock solid for a while now, I just think this game would suit Gomez better, just like there are games that are better suited to go with Matip.

Could be.They are a young side with plenty of buzz around the box.So we will need to be sharp and quick to deny them space. Lampard is a good motivator.Probably be England manager somewhere down the line.

Any drop off by us and it could go  wrong. But if we pitch up with our A game esp the front 3, we should get out of there with the points.

Cant see him changing it to TBH I like Gomez and obviously he is the long term option obviously will play next week against MK Don's but not sure Sunday

Big game for both sides with them and us coming off of a Champions League defeat midweek. Mount is out injured for them I believe which is a bonus for us. They look very suspect at the back so I think we'll score a couple. Only problem is we haven't looked great either and look like conceding. I think there will be goals and we'll win a close one 3-2.

As for the line-up, I also wouldn't be surprised to see Gomez come in for this one. I also think that Ox will start, Klopp clearly loves him and is trying to play him back into some form. He offers something different from midfield (as does Keita) so think he will get the nod for this one.

Whoever is chosen at least it’s now a case of quality replacing quality unlike a few years back when it was a case of who was just slightly less crap than the other.

Compare our away games against quality opponents! When did we good, when did we bad:

good: one game (Spurs last season)
bad: any other game, City, Chelsea, ManU, Arsenal, Barca, Napoli 2x, PSG...

Our odds are pretty slim. We do not play well on the road against quality. So I'm OK with a draw here and hopefully Jürgen also recognizes this depressing pattern and can do something about it.

Just watching the build up to tonight game Carra saying record against top 6 last 12 away games we have won 1 drawn 6 and lost 5 pretty dammimg

Means nothing. Last season we would have been favourites going into every game apart from the City away game because I think the season before we had smashed it against the top group of teams if I remember rightly.

Form and odds go out the window in these type of games so for me it’s no different, expect nothing but a win.

Expect a tight win for us by the odd goal, depending on Kante not playing.

But you just know he will make a miraculous recovery!

Difficult game ahead, at Stamford Bridge. May have to settle for a  draw, please Reds, prove me wrong !

Training video from today on official site.

About 5:45 - Sadio conserving his energy for the match Sunday! Ox on the other hand is going for it, and I think he noticed his partner wasn't helping too much. 

This will probably be a full length story in the Mirror about a major bustup by tomorrow morning.

Kante is back for the game it looks like and hes always amazing against us.

Would love a win but a draw would not be the worst result.

Tough game this, Chelsea are better than their bare results.

They will have to come for us at home which may be a help, but we will have to be better on the counter than we were at midweek.

We neep to keep adding to the points total where possible, with that in mind I'd take anything other than a loss here.

It's the only real area of improvement for this team - converting decent performances against big teams away from home into three points.

Gini the only change for Milner?

I think Gomez may get a shot, I'm hoping if he does it's not at right back, hes quite clunky in that position, and it weakens our attack when he plays there as opposed to Trent.

Klopp may want to give Matip a game off though.

Too much negativity on these boards for me, Chavs away isn't as frought with danger as it once was, Kante or no Kante it's still a test but i guarantee they are more worried than we are,

They will be well organised and be a danger if allowed to play their way, but like I said they will be more concerned with stopping us playing our way and that will in turn open up the spaces to which we can exploit,

I can see us playing a high line and be in their faces aka Arsenal, stifle their movement win the ball in their own half and gegenpress the actual sh*te out of them,

Really can't see anything other than another win as the Red machine marches towards the league title.

1-2 Champions Elect

So those who think it’s not an easy game are being negative?

Playing there is not easy. We squeezed out a draw last year thanks to a worldlie from Sturridge late in the game and played us tough in the Super Cup game that we won on penalties.

Surely we are the better team but this is a game that needs to be handled with caution and not think we’re going to run them off the field.

Think it will be a very close game either team could win but if we put in a performance and have our shooting boots on then we should win

Arguably not the greatest Chelsea side we have battled the last 10-15 years, but they will play us tough (like every other team does) no doubt.
But, I’m more confident going to their place and winning then going to old trafford.
2-0 us

Rip into these cu*ts from the off!

Come on you REDS,3 points please towards bringing number 19 home to Anfield.

I feel we have to revert back to the high consistent press against these.
We can’t allow them to dictate the middle of the park. Can’t allow their defenders to settle on the ball. And cut their forwards service down to a minimum.
Gini Fab and Naby in the middle, back five as usual and front three et al !
Gone for 2-0 to the Red Men.
Gonna be a battle but thinking we will come out on top if we press them hard. Saido and Mo with two assists from Bob 😁

Not a chance Keita plays

Gotta emulate what City did yesterday, come back from a defeat with anger showing it was just a small blip and rip these plastics apart.

Our toughest game of the season so far and I wouldn't be looking to see and real changes.

Mini back in for Milner.

Not a chance Keita plays

Back in full training apparently 🤷🏼‍♂️

They don't have a hazard that can move in all directions and unpredictable. Lampard is trying to get them to perform like the old chelsea. They move fast in a predictable pattern, we have to stifle their movement and put pressure on their defence that is their weakest link. Kante is getting far too much compliment, we have to get someone to bully him and not allow him to the space and time and being showy and see how he performs.

Back in full training apparently 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yes, and slated for a return vs. MK Dons in The League Cup......if he doesn't injure himself.again.

Nervous

Back in full training apparently 🤷🏼‍♂️

Wont be thrown into this one more likely mid week

Slightly nervous as Chelsea are a big club and it's at the Bridge. Guess they'll be just as nervous though.

Not sure I'd take a point if it were offered, because if both teams play well, we win.

Have to remember titles are not decided in the first half dozen games or so.

Got to win today and keep the pressure on City
