Huge cheer when the name of the referee is announced...

Maybe football is changing .

1 we’re under way with the reds attacking early on.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #5 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:05:03 pm »

3 dangerous break into the box by Pulisic but Matip tidies up well

Rush 82 · « **Reply #6 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:05:29 pm »

Second bit of good work by Matip to nip danger in the bud

TepidT2O · « **Reply #7 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:06:30 pm »

4 chance!

A good move and cross from the right, Mane tried the over head kick and it gets blocked for a corner.

A cross following the corner is headed down onto the line my Matip and saved.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #8 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:10:20 pm »

8 free kick on the right 35 yards out. Mo plays it in and it breaks to Fabinho on the far left. He breaks into the area and shoots at the keeper.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #9 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:12:06 pm »

10 Pedro fires just wide of the post form about 25 yards.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #10 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:13:50 pm »

12 a lovely 1-2 between Mo and Hendo and the. hendo plays a lovely cross into the area.

It’s headed clear well Mane was waiting to head home.

All of a sudden Chelsea have learnt how to defend.

How is that not a pen???!?!?!

Baffling. Thought any touch by the hand (accidental or not) was an automatic foul under the new VAR rules

Weird this VAR business

TepidT2O · « **Reply #13 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:16:59 pm »

15 Chance!

Absolutely brilliant play by Chamberlin to wriggle past three, then a wonderful ball to Mo who shoots left footed at the keeper..

19 our back four have most of the ball now. Chelsea are stopping our passing channels

Then Chelsea find Pedro... but sensational defending form Robertson cuts him off.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #19 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:22:00 pm »

Terrific defending by Robbo

TepidT2O · « **Reply #20 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:23:03 pm »

21

Matip? The new Bekenbauar?

And then the great man misses one and Pedro is into the area. His powerful shot just brushes the bar.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #21 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:24:22 pm »

Over to Jill

Rush 82 · « **Reply #22 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:24:35 pm »

Followed by superb work by Matip to nick the ball off Pulisic?

Hmm, always bothers me when we're talking more about superb defending as opposed to super attacking

Rush 82 · « **Reply #23 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:25:48 pm »

Chelsea have had a good 6 minutes here - giving us real problems

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #24 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:26:25 pm »

25 Sorry my computer went down. Back now though. Still 0-0.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #25 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:27:40 pm »

26 We play ourselves into trouble by losing the ball in our half, but luckily Chelsea put it wide.

Odd too, VVD misread an interception..

Rush 82 · « **Reply #27 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:29:25 pm »

Virgil looked caught in two minds as Matip knocked it to him and ended up backing off and letting the Chelsea player have the ball.

Didn't look good to be honest

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #28 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:29:35 pm »

27 We get a corner, after some positive play. The ball finds Van Dijk's head but he can't control it and it goes over.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #29 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:30:55 pm »

Looking better for Liverpool as the clock rolls onto 30'

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #30 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:31:34 pm »

29 We continue the pressure on Chelsea, get a corner on the right. It find's Mane's head, but it goes straight to the goalie. But much better play by us recently.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #31 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:32:47 pm »

Chelsea looking as good as they did for the first half in their opening game.

31 Wonderful piece of defending from Matip there, takes control of the situation and deals with it.

33 The ball is in our half at the moment, Chelsea getting a lot of passes around but we are dealing with it quite well.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #37 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:36:15 pm »

Adrian has impressed me overall, when he comes for the ball he comes with it. The defence too has played quite well, Kante is certainly making problems but we are dealing with them.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #38 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:38:02 pm »

35 Chelsea score through Giroud. We lose the ball in a dangerous place, Mane has to show there more and its a great pass to Giroud.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #39 on:** August 14, 2019, 08:38:54 pm »

Dreadful.. we’ve evacuated midfield.

We don’t have any grip on the ball at all.

And fucking Giroud scores against us again..
