Can anyone tell me what the fucking point is of Taylor pointing at his watch and making a show of telling all the Chelsea players that he is woke to their time wasting antics, and then adding three minutes on?
Not the end of the world but disappointing, not just 2 points dropped by our inability to break down a side who was contented to defend and they even look dangerous on a couple of counter attacks. Onto the international break.
Dominated the game. Ultimately not good enough though. Poor defence for their goal. Lack of final ball and chances gone amiss. Two points dropped. Really should of won.
Can’t help but feel we should have won that. Oh well.
Still unbeaten.
Harvey looks a gem. Hendo, Fab, and Thiago being fit is great.
Same CB pairing three games in a row - took until April for that to happen last season
Not the end of the world I expect us to win the next 3 league games and be top/joint top by the time we play City.
Do you ever watch a game though and you know that moment in a film when someone questions if they are the ‘baddies’. Chelsea were the baddies, no question
Also I think Taylor wanted to make the game all about him.
Moan of the match - unfortunately, the Anfield crowd.
Second half, Chelsea taking an age at every restart. Only a few whistles. The crowd should have been hounding the ref in unison for the full 45 minutes.
The Chelsea full back took over 40 seconds for one throw in. Only a few whistles there.
Fatty Taylor already pointed to his watch early in the half. With the crowd not responding, it allowed Chelsea to keep breaking the game up. The crowd needs to influence the ref.
Also didn’t get that Tsimikas sub at the end. Throw on Ox or Keita
Taylor was knackered. He kept positioning himself on the left, so when Andy/Mane/Henderson would cut in, inevitably the useless ref would be in the way
Really crap effort in the final third today. Should have been ruthless and gone for them but it almost felt like we settled for it and held something back. Elliot was impressive in the first half, Matip looked imperious in the second half.
Not point crying about the lack of time added on, it happens all the time and it’s hardly like we were knocking the door down anyway, could have played another 90 minutes and not scored again.
