Todays Game

They were absolutely awful. The only one who looked like he wanted to play was Willian. Fibreglass was appaling, Hazard innefectual and Costa a useless dirty fecking animal. Liverpool fans are getting all giddy and they did play well. But they don't seem to have noticed that everybody beats Chelsea this year.

I think we have. There was optimism before the game. I wasnt optimistic myself but even the prediction thread was positive. A win over Chelsea at the bridge is still a great result nevertheless.

On a side note. I can understand why sterling was annoyed that he wasn't taking the penalty. He did all the work, it was the last kick with no pressure and a lb stepped up instead. Thought that was strange, can understand if it was bony or Kdb.

Kolarov was just selfish. He didn't need to take the pen and it would have done Sterling some good to have scored.

I assume that he took it cause he's next in line after Yaya. Who is next after Sergio. His defensive performance really worries me. So much trouble comes down his side, with the centre backs dragged out that way to cover for him.

Kolorov isn't and never has been a defender
Pity we didn't go for Luke Shaw,he's an excellent left back

I'm not sure Sterling can kick it hard enough from the penalty spot for it to cross the line

I agree paul. Grated, we will never know if we have fullbacks taking meaningless penalties.

I was disappointed that Bony didn't want it
Should be a centre forwards dream being the penalty taker,takes the pressure off a barren spell
He'd already spurned numerous chances

Bony's overall game was a big improvement yesterday, he looked a lot more alert and the ball was sticking with him rather than bouncing off his shins.

Just a pity he didn't bury one of his early chances as I'm sure it's a confidence thing with him
