Just fills me with dread knowing that only a win at anfield can put us back at the top.

I've said it all along since our shitty form pre Xmas. Dropping points in the Liverpool, Spurs and CP home games was fucking criminal. Inexcusable in parts because we held the lead!

Ahh it pisses me off so much. I feel like dad who's angry at his kid for leaving his homework until the last minute despite having all term to get it done!!!

But... you can't go back.

Some seasons we walk away with it and some seasons we're in a dogfight. This is a dogfight season - instead of dreading games (as you say you are) embrace it, enjoy it, it's what being a fan's all about. We're in the midst of our greatest ever run of success. Look at it this way, any team on their day can beat us or Arsenalhole or the team from the club with the most disgraceful history in this country, but for the last thirteen years there has been no team capable of outplaying us.

If Chelsea had a top class striker they would have won the game by half time.

And only a brave and quality save from Ederson kept us in the game.

Pep's 'square pegs for round holes' tactic will bring us no trophies this year. When Erling was on fire last season and was scoring for fun, he was subbing him after 60-70 minutes. This season when we are struggling against defensively dogged and able counter-attacking team he is persisting with him although it just doesn't work.
Don't blame Kyle for their goal at all, as always left on his own to cover 250 square meters of the pitch guessing whether to cover his CB unable to track back or to cover a player running behind.
And Phil hugging the line on the right, that really worked so far!

We have two trophies in the bag and three still to play for. Our striker has been out for two months and still tops the scoring charts. We had the chances yesterday and the conditions were a great leveller - we play the ball on the deck most of the time but couldn't do that yesterday to any effect. On another day, some of those chances go in. The crowd was magnificent yesterday - the team couldn't have tried harder.

Pep tries new things, they don't work initially, people decry his stubbornness, and then things click.

It was the same last season when Pep tried new things, we suffered bad results, then Stones replaced Rico in that hybrid role and we didn't look back.

We'd have won last night comfortably IF one from Haaland (especially), KDB and Foden was his normal self. All of them plus Alvarez had a night to forget.

It happens, we move on.

Alvarez at AM alongside KDB will never click against anyone decent...it's simply a bad plan.

We had chances ourselves in the first half. It wasn't a completely one sided half. All it was a masterclass in counter attacking football from Chelsea. Haaland squandered plenty of good chances even when we were playing poorly.

Chelsea - megabillions club parking the bus with megabucks strikers - easy to see why they're tenth.

Ederson - he's there to make saves at crucial points - when Alisson's not giving the ball away every game with his feet, he makes big saves - teams make a lot of chances against Liverpool - does that mean Liverpool are any less of a team. It's what GKs are there to do.

We play high risk and reward footy and mostly it works out well. All of us have to accept that now and again we'll leave the back door open in pursuit of goals.

If I’m not mistaken at least 2 very good saves
 
Chelsea had few chances, but the used each chance to make a clear and decent attempt. They did control it right for large portions, result wise and rode their luck.

We were shocking in front on goal. Erl, Julien and Kyle were well below their game. Back to the training ground for some hard work.
Eds, Rodri and Ake were our best. Stones, Bernie and Lewis need to start. Bobb needs to be used too.
