Thinking we SHOULD have won that is a bit arrogant, both teams had chances and they could say the same thing. If Studge hadn't done that we'd have lost.
Don't see the problem with Hendo either it's just picking the right game for him, when he's on the ball and playing it quickly he can be very good but in a congested game like yesterday he can't see the forward pass. Keita coming on gave us more drive but Hendo is an important player, without him we'd have less options.
Miner could do with a rest so that we get the best from him throughout the season.
Happy with a point from the bridge though bring on City.

Having watched City play Lyon, you can see why Klopp wanted Fekir. The starting 3 is what it is i.e. workhorse like.

Such games require a player who can dribble and carry the ball past midfield. I was happy to see Keita take on this rope in his cameo. I know people are questioning Salah's form but it is Keita who I believe needs a goal to spur him on

We earned a point.

That's it.. we worked hard and at times Chelsea gave it away deep and we were threatening. Their goal should be looked at again for the class if the passing.

Their midfield is so much better than outs at it. We work hard..but

There's no deserve in football. Teams in the **** talk about what their performance deserve.... like Hughes yesterday.

It's a reflection from the fact that usually someone **** s up and costs points but otherwise the performance didn't stink.

We earned a point. Through big al saving us, vvd defence and sturridge actually getting a shot on target.

I also think we really ought to see that Chelsea are one hell of a good team and give ourselves credit for matching them

Next week it's city... an even better team. We can't afford shots miles off target or weak back pases

Even though he is an opposition manager, I'm already taking a liking to Sarri. A big hug for Klopp before and after the game with a smile on
his face........and admitting the scoreline was a fair result when he must have been gutted to be denied the three points.
Seems like a cool guy.

Another game where we should have won. A point away at Stamford Bridge is still very good but it shows how far we’ve come where we deserve 3 points in every game this season.

Whilst the attack is still not clicking, there are a lot of positives. Salah will receive most of the criticism but he’s still the main outlet for us. He gets into the box and in the right positions. It’s just the end product which isn’t there. Once he went off, we struggled to get in the box.

I really hate this midfield. It’s not gonna win us anything. If he’s hell bent on starting Hendo, then switch him and Gini. Gini had a good game and has been our best midfielder this season by a distance. Milner clearly running out of steam and he needs a rest.

Full backs were really tested yesterday - Robbo had a poor first half but got better.

Our centre backs are brilliant - there was one moment when Willian was through and both Gomez and VVD caught up with him. Glad to see get the captains armband - he’s the real leader of this team and it’s only a matter of time when he gets the captaincy full time.

And whilst Alisson could have done better with the goal, he kept us in the match. He made big saves and bailed out Gini.

Really hope we go back to the Gini Keita Milner midfield soon because it works and has a good balance. We still haven’t conceded a goal when Henderson isn’t on the pitch.

I agree, apart from the routine downer on Henderson.
Honest question: Why do you think Klopp puts him in there? Please don't give me the "can't drop the captain" stuff because I'm certain Klopp has no such qualms.

Still think he looks like a hospital porter in that gear.

Good question - I’m guessing it’s down to work rate. Because it can’t be due to defensive stability or ability on the ball

And maybe because Fabinho isn’t quite ready yet?

Maybe it’s easier to move players like Gini to accommodate him? We saw the same with Can when he’s clearly better at number 6 but is more versatile to move.

I don’t know mate. We’re evolving as a team and he will be left behind. The same happened to the likes of Migs, Ings, Lallana, Moreno etc.

This is not to say Hendo is a **** player because he’s not. He’s just a decent squad player. Nothing more, nothing less.
