I know lamps is a Chelsea legend but think he showed us far too much respect today and was ultimately at fault for our win.
Yes Christensen didn’t help either but with indecisive kepa he was caught between a rock and a hard place.
Werner was isolated and Havertz is not a winger, but Werner will score you goals this year.
You have the best midfielder in the world but play him out of position and put Jorginho in there instead who’s only strength is penalties.
It looks like you have fixed the kepa issue but still think your light in defence.
Overall im glad we have that game out the way as by mid season you should click and have a top side.
Either way the record books says we got 3 points and we can move on to the next.

WYred, there wasn’t a lot in your performance today that wasn’t expected. You played ok but until the sending off (totally justified) I thought we looked comfortable.
I’m sure we have a lot more to come and I remain very confident we will finish above the red Scousers.
It could be you get docked points because of Klopps strange approach to player recruitment. I think he has been referred to as a “cheat†but I think he is an ok coach .

Agree mate.

Spot on, problem we have is Lampard seems immune from criticism, he was too cautious / scared and the kante issue has gone on for over a year, whole world can see it, we will give you boys a better game at your place,

Matt has been far from immune from criticism.
I was very critical of our shape team selection and defensive organisation last season.
Lamps is certainly not the finished article and he will make mistakes but I have seen a better defensive shape in particular when seating up to defend set pieces.
I think any shape issues for this season can only be judged when all the players are fit.
I do have worries over some of the team/ player selections but I don’t see them in training and again this may well be resolved when all the players are fit.
I would also add and I think you have mentioned it before, I’m not a fan of playing players out of there natural position.
5.) 20 Sep 2020 22:03:08
Lads we have 5 players to comeback. Save the criticism until later.
6.) 20 Sep 2020 22:08:17
Tom b, the majority of teams are lacking pre season so all that matters is the three points.
You may be unimpressed with us but we keep churning out results.
Also I am all for backing your own team but think you'll be third this season whilst your team gels, next season you'll be challenging imo.
Its true that klopp likes a little chat with players beforehand but its wishful thinking hoping we get docked points.
MM I agree that you will and as I said happy we have you out the way at the bridge as that will be a tough fixture for many this season.
7.) 20 Sep 2020 22:10:46
what a load of rubbish. We matched a liverpool until the red card.
The ref runied the game. Was a yellow all. day long. keeper had that covered.
8.) 20 Sep 2020 22:40:20
Unfortunately Wheely the keeper having it covered is irrelevant. It was a Red but I do agree before the semi gets off I thought we were comfortable.
Maybe a bit timid while giving to much respect to the Scousers!
9.) 20 Sep 2020 22:45:41
WYred. Klopp is not talking to these players as if it were a dating site. As already referenced it’s called cheating and may well of caused your club some reputation and financial damage.
Strange, I think you will finish 3rd but it’s ok because you will be in front of the Blue Scousers who will finish 4th.
{Ed0666's Note - can you imagine Klopp on a dating site? He’d break the fuc*ing internet.
10.) 21 Sep 2020 01:09:07
If matching Liverpool is sitting back with 11 men and not creating any chances of your own then maybe I'd agree. Liverpool were working their way into the game and were finding themselves in some good positions. As for the Red card it was blatant. By no means were Liverpool excellent and yet throughout the game they always seemed to be in the driving seat. I agree with WYred in thinking it's rather optimistic hoping that Liverpool will be docked points for tapping up, if it did happen perhaps then I wouldn't rule out Chelsea finishing higher than LFC this season. As for Lampard perhaps he'd do better working on his tactical prowess rather than being unprofessional towards an opposition manager on the touchline; leading to then being forced to make a (rather embarrassing) public apology.
11.) 21 Sep 2020 07:06:08
With those teeth Mr Klopp could only attract women who wear dark glasses all the time Ed.
I didn’t see anything in the Liverpool first half performance that made me think they are unbeatable. This despite us being to timid and offering to much respect. After the sending off we got our backsides smacked.
As for Liverpool being docked points, that was meant as a joke but calling Mr Klopps behaviour as tapping up is more of a joke. Call it for what it is lads, stop defending it.
Also how does that compare to Lampard having a pop at your manager and back room staff? I don’t remember Lamps apologising for that incident but if he did, then fine but will Mr Klopp give an apology about his “cheating� No chance.
Your team may well improve through the season but not as much as we will IMO and I remain confident we will finish above the Blue Scousers.
12.) 21 Sep 2020 07:09:02
Matt and Wheely, I would like to apologise. My replies to you were written late ish and as usual I didn’t check them. I hope you got my drift.
COME on MY MIGHTY BLUES.
13.) 21 Sep 2020 07:32:51
Lanpard is doing somewhat better than Klopp did at this point.
I thought he'd nailed the tactics, we drew them out and they really created little. Leaving space to exploit.
Liverpool are class and we were clearly worried about the ball in behind, again Lampard was correct on that.
Two weeks in with no real preseason, bedding in New players.
I saw enough to be confident.
14.) 21 Sep 2020 08:18:53
'Problem we have is Lampard. ' thought it was James going to sleep, Christensen out of position, no fight in the team as a whole. The midfield etc etc, Scouser in disguise?!
Totally get everyone feeling glum but I think we just got beat by a better team.
I feel confident Lamps will get there and now has the players (most of them) to do so.
To the Scousers, Lamps wasn't forced to make an apology, he chose to calm things down and make the game about the teams. Everyone has faults and Klopps is he is a hypocrite (transfers) and was being an arrogant bellend continuously telling Lamps to calm down, he deserved to be put in his place. You have only won ONE title after all and all need to get back in tour box a bit, I know that's hard when it's been 20 years waiting to get out.
Like someone else said, humility in defeat as well as victory.
15.) 21 Sep 2020 08:40:06
I enjoy being quoted Viking. Most enjoyable.
Winning our FIRST Premiership made us a little crazy for a while. I think we should humour them a little bit. Haha.
22 Sep 2019 21:15:02
Think that transfer ban is going to be a blessing for you boys.
You gave us a good game today and we got away with one with the VAR.
Kante is a quality midfielder and I’m a huge fan of mount.
You are going in the right direction and I’m glad we have got you boys out the way. Think RLC will only add to your midfield too.
Top four is there for anyone that wants it and think you’ll get there.
1.) 22 Sep 2019 21:46:00
Very balanced post WYred.
2.) 22 Sep 2019 22:13:38
The hallmark of a solid team is the team that gets a good result even on their bad day; I think Liverpool showed that today- they are a solid team and they are clearly stronger than Chelsea.
At the moment, i don't see a top four possibility yet for Chelsea until somethings change. I feel the team can perform better than what Frank Lampard is putting out there.
3.) 22 Sep 2019 22:56:11
Agreed mate, if you can grind out results when playing poorly it can only be a good thing, I’d say it was a 50/ 50 first half but second barring maybe 10 minutes was all you.
The way the league is shaping up anyone with ambition should be saying to their players put a run together and top 4/ 6 is there for the taking. You have a great young side that will only get stronger.
Right now I’m not sure I could name 4 clubs better then you, Arsenal are too open. Spurs don’t seem to have recovered from the final and question marks over Poch won’t help (would Madrid come calling? ) . United are struggling. Then you have the likes of Leicester and West Ham.
The rest of the league is genuinely so open where anyone can beat anyone at the minute.
4.) 23 Sep 2019 00:17:51
Only problem is injuries for us. Our best players aren’t fit yet. James, Rudiger, RLC and CHO will give us that boost. Less we see of Barkley and Willian the better.
02 Jun 2018 08:23:27
Liverpool fan looking at the chelsea situation from the outside.
If you are chasing Sarri, if being the important word there. Then why is Conte still in charge? It seems clear that you want a replacement so not sacking him just looks like your not sure if you can get one you want. So we will keep Conte just in case.
But that’s a shocking way to look at it IMO for three reasons. First being it is a blatant lack of respect to Conte, he has won you trophies (and yes I agree it’s not been the best by your standards this year) but he has still brought success and should be treated as such.
Second is why would a manager want to join Chelsea with the way you treat the current one? I know if I saw a company with a bad history with employees I wouldn’t join when there are plenty of other options.
And lastly it just makes Chelsea look like they are unsure of what they are doing. Now most of it is probably the media brewing it up but the club could come out and sort it by saying it one way or the other. Least they would be clarity rather than appearing to chase a replacement whilst you still have a manager.
This isn’t a dig at you fans btw as you are caught in the middle but it just seems something isn't right at the top of Chelsea and needs sorting quickly or could ruin your plans for the summer and In to the new season.
1.) 02 Jun 2018 09:07:30
Whilst I do agree with a lot of what you're saying mate about it potentially damaging our upcoming season, I don't agree that we've showed Conte a lack of respect, if anything he's showed our club a lack of respect and the reason the board want him out is because he doesn't want to be here himself. I appreciate what he's won for the club but managers come and go and I'd much rather have one who actually wants to manage Chelsea.
2.) 02 Jun 2018 09:07:50
The situation is far from ideal, but the club are not just keeping Conte hanging on with no idea what's happening.
Both parties are currently involved in a stand off, Conte wants out but won't walk because he wants his £9m handshake, Chelsea want Conte out but don't want to give him £9m.
We won't have a problem attracting a manager, they'll be paid well, get to live in London, work with good players and probably have every chance of adding some silverware to their CV.
The club have been very quiet since the end of the season, but I see it as no news being good news. They're not going to publicly talk about their standoff with Conte, until that comes to a head then we probably won't hear much from the club at all.
3.) 02 Jun 2018 09:27:47
But if your looking to replace him, which I think is clear surely you should agree a deal with Conte to let him walk is the best way forward? Even if you don’t get Sarri you will want someone else so the issue with Conte needs dealing with sooner or later.
4.) 02 Jun 2018 09:50:08
Guys, IF Chelsea want shot of Conte they don’t have to pay him ONE single penny up friont.
They can legally pay him his monthly wages for the full term of his contract.
Also, under U. K. law Conte has a duty to mitigate his contract but he may well choose to take a year out of management on full pay.
If Conte takes a job for less money we pay the difference. If Conte gets a job for the same or more money than we currently pay, then we no longer have a duty to pay his current contract.
5.) 02 Jun 2018 11:23:57
This seems to have become a matter of pricible for the club. They, quite rightly in my opinion, don't want to pay someone, who desperately wants to leave the club anyway, a penny. That's wether it's month to month or as a lump sum, or even to bump up smaller wages.
6.) 02 Jun 2018 13:37:39
I agree with the Liverpool fan, our board has become a joke of management. In the first place Conte deserve more respect for what he has achieved with us. No good manager with other options would take us serious, remember Pep turned us down for the same reason.
Again the major reason we are unable to bring through Academy players is instability of coaching. Every coach appointed looking for players that suit his style for instant success.
As for Conte, the bad season we had was as a result of Chelsea reneging on their promise to the manager, at least he forewarned the board. He's made a scapegoat. I think its in our best interest to resolve the situation with Conte and save us from further embarrassment. None of these managers fills me with any confidence than Conte. Playing good football and not winning trophies will be worst for us and IMO Conte is not so ugly as many of us make it out especially when his team is in his own image and on song too. I can't remember any of us complaining the previous season when Conte was breaking and setting some premiership records. He can't turn a bad coach overnight.
Some of us feel that Harzard and others would go with Conte in charge. Listen to Harrzard warning to the board when he made it clear that he needs QUALITY players to remain with us and Conte out. As for any other player except Kante, we can do without as no player should be allowed hold us to ransom. Even SAF didn't agree with all his players.
In all, Conte should not be sacked rather be supported especially in transfers build a winning team and take us forward.
Note: All is not well with RA and I'm surprised if the worst happened, selling the club. In any case we shall always be grateful to him for all that he had done.

Thanks J.
I think Milner may have one more year but his return to leeds will dictate that.
Lallana may end up staying depending on the market.
But the players, imo, would have earned the right to be called champions. My preference would always be completing it on the pitch, but the players have families etc and shouldn't risk it if it isn't safe. It also has to be in line with government advice, you can't allow football back if you aren't allowing gatherings over x amount. It would send out the wrong message.
30 Apr 2020 10:44:52
Because void should only be used if they effectively wipe the season from the record books, which they won't do.
As for the title, I think the players deserve being awarded it, the fact that it can even be discussed when it stopped with 9 games to go shows what a season they had. Whether I would celebrate it as a fan if we were given it I am still unsure. Part of me only wants to see us `win` it but the other half thinks it would be harsh on the squad to have their achievements mean zip.
I think I would have us down as champions this season but as a club be humbled that we were awarded it by fellow clubs, no parade and milk it with merch etc. but then next year try prove it beyond all doubt.
