The Scousers are winning the league and there's not a thing anyone can do to stop it.

Good win for Liverpool. Had to seriously work for it. Chelsea have a very strong centre midfield, but need more quality up front before they're going to be title contenders. Definitely on the way back though. Been a while since Liverpool were dominated like they were in that first 25 minutes.

Dominated in the first 25 mins is a bit of a stretch. Chelsea didn't even have a shot in the first 25 mins. In fairness though Chelsea did play well in spells and I don't think they are far away from competing for a title for the next year or 2. They need a top class goalkeeper and striker.

Jackson is well improved to be fair.

Quote from: Capt Pat on October 20, 2024, 04:12:48 PMCity were lucky there to score so late. I don't know what exactly the rule is but I certainly thought Bernardo was interfering with play. He was having a wrestle with the goalie just before Stones headed it.

Clearly interfering with the Goalkeeper. You'd expect the linesman or VAR to step in and call it.
It's the kind of call Champions usually get.

you can't disallow goals for that, the ref did have a look at it on the screen and rightly gave the goal.

Silva bumped Sa, and maybe blocked him from coming for the cross (I don't know if Sa does come for them), but he was well out of the way by the time Stones connected with the header, which went straight through Sa's hands.

It's hard to keep up with all the changing rules and interpretations, but without going through them with a fine toothcomb, looked to be the right decision to me.

They didn't create much, but they were breaking through the Liverpool press and finding the likes of Sancho very easily. Probably had a little to do with Jones being tasked to do a man-marking job on Palmer.

If I was Chelsea I would be looking at Kelleher. From a Liverpool point of view I would want him to stay but he's far too good to be a back up.

Chelsea look at everyone

Liverpool were awful there from when they got their goal. Much deserved lead for Arsenal

trueblue1234 · October 27, 2024, 05:43:21 PM

Liverpool very poor.

Milltown Row2 · October 27, 2024, 05:59:07 PM

10/1.. I'll stick a cheeky 5 on that

jcpen · October 27, 2024, 06:00:16 PM

Arsenal some hoors for diving to the ground like they've been shot everytime they are touched.

jcpen · October 27, 2024, 06:12:55 PM

That's Arsenals own fault for parking the bus in the second half.

jcpen · October 27, 2024, 06:29:17 PM

This is imo why Arsenal won't win the league. They had Liverpool on the ropes and came out in the second half and sat back and let Liverpool back into it.
Man City would have kept going for more.
