Not slighting Can's effort, but you have to wonder if he had come off for Mane and let coutinho work with mane we might have got the goal. Can just seems to lack the crisp passing required against Chelsea.

Massively harsh on Can he had a good game in the middle of the park he was up against two of the best cdm is the league of not the world and did very well why as Liverpool fans do we always have to moan about something even tho we didn't lose it's pathetic a draw was a fair results couts came off because he was shattered

Everybody has seen it and said it a hundred times. Can simply holds on too long to the ball. The opening will be right in front of him or next to him, and he'll dither with the ball until an opposing player comes near him and then he'll pass it on. But you have to admit he's a fighter and gives maximum effort.

Can was solid enough but I was hoping for mane to come on for him with lallana dropping and later would have liked studge for firmino. Decent performance though. What happened for their goal? though migs wouldn't have saved it anyway. Did the ref blow and migs wasn't paying attention, or did they take it early?

Didn't see much of Kante and Matic today bossing their midfield.

We controlled the game and they scored off the counter.

We need to mix things up when nothing is happening through the middle and this game was perfect example. Diagonal balls from both sides and attacking the 2nd ball just for 5/ 10 mins in-between when playing through the middle is not happening is something we need to try more often.

Have to correct you there, Kloppers. Can had a decent 2nd half. 1st was woeful. Wayward passing, not quick enough to tackle, giving up possession.

@ Burkey the ref blew and Migs wasn't paying attention. He said afterward he didn't hear it.

Shouldn't have been a free anyway.

Actually thought it was one of Cans better games. Solid 7/ 10 for him on the night.

Yeah the balls over the top were so much more dangerous today and is obviously how we scored, really hope Klopp sees this and keeps working on it as a means of getting in behind stubborn defences, if it works against Chelsea it will work against any bus.

I've given Can some stick myself but that's unfair - he played pretty well tonight and, as against Pogba, he's shown he can add some solidity to midfield in the big games.

Having said that I still think he lacks enough threat going forward though to justify a spot against the lower ranked sides running a low block, in those games we need someone either able to produce the unexpected or a killer cross to unlock defences, and he also needs to learn to make late runs in the box (like Wijnaldums for his goal) but hopefully he'll learn.

I personally thought kante was man of the match. the guy is a terrior and he was everywhere closing down. More than a coincidence Leicester won the league with him and Chelsea are running away with it now with him. Thought we played really well in the first half and firmino probably should have scored at least one of his chances of not both of them but tbh I didn't think we done enough to deserve to win the game and we easily could have lost, it's a good point in the race for a top 4 spot considering arsenal and spurs dropped points to weak opposition. Actually thought Can was alright tonight and certainly not to blame for us not winning the game. Our midfield was dominating when the mane change was made and to be honest as good a player as we know coutinho is he hasn't got back to himself since he's returned from injury and he wasn't in the game at all, similar to hazards substitution. Bright side is we now have all our key players ready to play for the first time In about 3 months so hopefully we can finish out the season how we started it, and just see what happens

He swapped Couts with Manea because Can offers more defensively to counter Chelsea breaking with Hazard, Alonso and Willians not to mention Costly.
I feel we done well tonight but get the impression that our side plays to whatever level the opponents are.
We have not that ruthless streak of meaness like Costa etc.

It wasn't a free before the goal as Hazard lost control of the ball and dived towards it.
BUT. that does not excuse the defending of the free kick. What Might was at only he knows
But why did we not have a player standing in front of the ball till the wall was set, this would have prevented clattenburg from blowing the whistle

The penalty save was top drawer.

Firminio for all his industry should have had at least 2 goals, again not ruthless enough imagine Costa having them chances. they would be put away.

To sum up we have played Chelsea twice now and have taken 4 points to their 1

Samikewell! What game were you watching. Kante was pure class. He was everywhere and is strong as an on ox the ball. He was always in the right place at the right time. He's probably going to have his 2nd premier league winners medal in 2 years and imo he will have been a major reason why both of the teams that he was part of ended up winning. Costa is scoring the goals but it is him that is holding everything together and he is a lot of the reason why Chelsea are so good at holding onto leads when they go 1 up

A team that playes on the counter and are very good at it, they bring in Pedro to give them legs to a side that already still has the tank to hit you on the transition but yet we wonder why Klopp took of a player who just returned from injury and for a player who has shown good energy levels especially in the 2nd half. Had they scored a late winner we would questioning Klopps game management. The is reason they have conceded the lowest goals yet are at the summit of the table. Just bcoz we dominated them doesn't mean it was a given that we could have the game, they might not play such greatfootie but they have the right structure, right discipline and energy levels to let you control the game but still demage. The boys did well let's just give them credit
