^ Yeah weird. I don't think there was an injury. Prolly just a knock, not sure. I was reading something off the net. Lol.
Damn... I'm not feeling good about my bet now. Lolol.
Chelsea might not discover any means to penatrate Liverpool till the end of this first half. It is Liverpool that has some chances and have seen a penetrating space from Diaz wing. Diaz has made so many efforts to get the ball into Chelsea box and score but it seems not working, which I know will work soonest. The ball is mostly played in the Chelsea half and that is how it will be till the end of the match. Chelsea should not plan to drag possession with Liverpool, they should wait for a counter opportunity and when they get one should capitalise on I and convert same. I thought that the absence of Fabihno would be noticed but the old captain is doing his best.
Looking at the fact that, Chelsea haven't been in the best of form lately makes the possibility of them winning anything of this game a rather difficult say. As it is now, Liverpool has been the dominant side with Chelsea doing all they could to push back and its only worked so well but, I don't think should seat back and keep the pressured with the hopes of a counter attack while, Liverpool gets to come out them all 90minutes. It's exhausting and sooner than later should they play defence, Liverpool is sure to find a way unto the goal. They ought to come out and push some of the pressure over to Liverpool, to balance the game off.
But considering Chelsea's mediocre form for a top 4 club, they were doing kinda ok vs Liverpool in the first half. They had a couple of decent chances with Pulisic and another one with Marcos Alonso. While Liverpool was dominating the first part of the first half, Chelsea kinda bounced back and found their tempo too. Let's see what adjustments Klopp and Tuchel make for the second half. I feel like 1 - nil for either is most likely.
