Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool (5-6 pens)

God that game was really tense viewing throughout. Ultimately both teams had chances and if either had won it I think you would’ve said it was fair enough. I really thought Robertson was about to win it at the death and felt like there was more goal to hit than there was to miss but it is what it is.

I can’t believe that Mo, Robertson and Virgil all had to go off injured. I really hope they were mostly precautionary because that is terrible news if they’re all out and it’s only two weeks from the Champions League final. If Man City beat West Ham tomorrow then I won’t be surprised if we accept the league is done and field a B Team on Tuesday for Southampton. I say this but I know that Klopp loves rhythm so he will definitely field a team he expects to win. Matip was imperious when he came on but ultimately I’d always prefer Van Dijk to be there than not.

Diaz was our best player today. He is something really special. It’s exceptional how he consistently cuts inside but does it so unpredictably that defenders seem to really struggle. Reece-James was way too far up the pitch for most of the game so he found a lot of open space in behind to cause trouble.

Credit as well to Trent who was our best defender today. He was pretty much always where he was supposed to be and made a number of vital interceptions.

2 out of 4 is a lovely outcome so far. Realistically the league will be a step too far but I think this result also helps ease the pressure on the Champions League final. Lose today and the players have it in the backs of
