Premier League 2018/19

Chelsea is seriously impressive under Lampard. Did not think they would be this good. Credit to him and their youngsters.

I watched the game against Palace. Man to man we are a better team than Chelsea. However what Lampard has done is make sure the ball is moved quickly and directly and there's always someone to feed the ball to. There's also lots of pressing and off the ball movement.

Contrast this with our team. Slow, no motivation, no tactics and a manager who isn't bothered. There's no doubt Chelsea would beat us over two legs. The away tie at Stamford Bridge would be too much.

Wtf is that for a defense for City. Fernandinho at CB and some random guy named Angelino?

liverpool might just stuff them today.

Lol, such a big game and it's managed by the British Mateu Lahoz.

 

[serghei]

Penalty for City lol. It took 5 minutes for Oliver to ruin the match.

The technical quality of these players isn't awe inspiring. But their energy and pressing surely is.

Actually, it was a fair decision. First hand ball was to Bernardo.

Totally. The 2011 team would've put both of these to shame. Liverpool play very open but rarely meet teams who can press well like they do. If they played vs a monster pressing team like Pep's Barcelona with sublime technical quality too they would've been blown to pieces.

 

[Tackle]

City are so quick to switch off mentally. No surprises that they struggle in the CL.

 

[henias]

Who gave away that ball leading to the goal?

 

[serghei]

That looked offside.

 

[Gaudi]

2:0, 3 players attacking the box...simple. Yet if that was Alba and Barca we would pass the ball back and then Busi would stop completely and you already know the drill...

Maybe the usual Valverde apologists around here watch this game and learn something from it.

 

[DonAK]

Remember when people wanted to keep Bravo over ter Stegen because of some myth that GKs can play at an elite level until their 40s?

 

[serghei]

Why aren't they showing the VAR replay for the Salah goal?
