      Behave you've made yourself look an idiot with that sweeping statement.

      Where have you been the last 3 seasons? He's been the best left back in Europe or thereabouts

      This is about NOW. Kostas is better. His crosses and corners are better and that makes all the difference. Robbo cost us two corners alone. Even Klopp seems to think so or why did he bring Kostas when he had Origi or Minamino or even Keita?

      Still better option up top than Bobby? Did you watch a different game? Firmino was sensational

      Sensational ? Have a day off

      Well I don't think Ketia or Ox coming on would have made a difference

      Would have thought that would have been an ideal time, and game [2nd half] for them to come on.
      Guys who can attack sides from the middle.

      Another reason why I think we should have signed a midfielder.
      Don't think really Jürgen trusts those guys in big games.

      Chelsea had actually the better chances in the 2nd. We had ball possession but very little high percentage chances, a lot of random stuff in/around the penalty box.

      I think from now on Kostas has to be first choice. Robbo is just worse than him, look alone at the corners!

      Overall I can live with the result. Chelsea is superstrong, probably would have beaten us 11 vs. 11.

      Bro, some of the sh*t you say is just wild. You definitely love stirring the pot.

      I thought Robbo looked good today in all honesty

      Im probably one of the few that aren't feeling as though we dropped 2 points. I said all week that I'd be happy with a point, but obviously 3 was the goal. We could've won, sure. But I've watched enough of Cheslea to know that Tuchel has these guys playing lock down D. He made some great moves at HT. He's a wonderful manager? Maybe second best in the world. The end of the day, it's not the terrible result, and this year will be a grind for ever who wins it. Still okay with the point

      With that said, people keep saying Mane needs a kick up the ass, or a he needs to be better l. I just think this who he is now. Most dudes don't get quicker as they get older. He is very predictable on the ball and then tries to do too much to over compensate for his give aways. He will have good games, sure. But I think his day as TOTY candidate are gone. Can still do a job for us, but definitely need to look at upgrading him soon.

      Some people never fully put away their Bobby whipping stick. When Firmino went off, our attacking ideas went to sh*t. Jota is a bit of a lightning rod but he doesn’t create havoc like Bobby does.

      We played against the European champions who have just spent 100m on a striker.

      They have a lot of confidence and belief. It showed as the game went on.

      For me, we could have made changes earlier. A lot of players were not playing at a 8/10 or more which is required to beat teams so well drilled as Chelsea.

      But 7 points from 9 ain’t terrible. Like somebody mentioned we are 4 points better off than the corresponding fixtures from last season.

      Leeds away next...

      Bobby never looks all that great, but most times without him on the pitch you realize there's more to him that meets the eye. He's definitely the conduit that links the team.

      Kostas has had one and half decent games in a red shirt, Robbo has been superb for 4 seasons. Bringing off a player who has just come back from injury with 6 minutes to spare means feck all. Maybe he thinks Origi and Minamino are shi...te! Keita probably injured himself sitting on the bench.

      For me, bobby works best when salah and mane are on form.
      When one of those two (mane today) are off colour bobby isn’t as effective.

      Outside of set piece plays I thought he looked fine. Made some nice over lapping runs, and could've had 2 assists. His corner was sent to the back post by Mane to set up the hand ball and Mo shouldve put the far post corner away. Maybe I'm wrong, but im not seeing what most did. I dunno.

      How did Klopp look like in the interviews? Like someone who dropped 2 points, won a point or just business as usual?

      Disappointed with the result and performance,  Harvey did well but balance was a bit off with hendo on the left of the 3. Front 3 weren't great and needed a bit more overlaps or diagonal runs to get behind the back 9. Frustrating that we don't play for another few weeks.

      Only my view but I thought the was awfull crossing was poor and constantly gave the ball away but he wasn't the only one

      Pulling this one back up -- I literally almost never complain about the referee's, but this was abysmal!!  The only decision we got all afternoon was when VAR forced him to go take a 2nd look and the only option at that point was the pen and the red.  Every other 50/50 decision was given to Chelsea. 

      That said, we didn't really do enough to deserve the win.  The best chance of the whole game was when Jordan skewed his shot wide when the ball dropped onto his left foot. 

      This result is no need to panic, but I thought Jürgen could have been more aggressive with his substitutions.  Thiago could have replace Fab or Matip, and we could have brought on Ox for the other.  He didn't really push for the W today, and that's a bit annoying, but overall we still have 7 from 9.  Not a bad start to the new campaign.
