Premier League (midweek) Games 4/5 April '23

That was one of the worst matches I've seen in a top flight league in a while

Even worse than West Ham V Southampton, the other day. God that's 4 hours of my life I've lost.

Hats off to the BBC football page


FULL-TIME
Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool

It's all over in this mid-table clash.

It's the fourth goalless draw in a row between these teams.


Enzo Fernandez, just named Gary Neville's man of the match on Sky, slams a shot over from 25 yards.
He's not a goalscorer. None of Chelsea's players are though, a cynic might say.


I said James Milner's throw-in hitting Cody Gakpo's backside summed up Liverpool's game. Now Jordan Henderson's cross hits Joe Gomez, who is offside.


Halfway through the five added on. Liverpool on the ball. Now Chelsea are. Now Liverpool are again. And Chelsea again. Now there's a foul

Five more minutes for neither team to score

James Milner takes a quick throw-in with Reece James out of position but it hits Cody Gakpo's backside. Textbook this-game moment.


Almost a lovely passing move from Chelsea but Conor Gallagher can't find Mateo Kovacic. Well he could have but he didn't.

Emery doing a good job at Villa.

That was one of the worst matches I've seen in a top flight league in a while

It really was dire. Like watching one of those 3rd round games in the World Cup between Honduras and Albania where both teams have already been knocked out.

That was like watching a relegation battle at the bottom.

To be fair Chelsea are just as close to the relegation zone as they are to the CL spots

That was like watching a relegation battle at the bottom.

The relegation battles at the top are better.

 

[york away to this!]

Glad the victims got a point there, may instill some confidence for the arse match.
Klipperty is a tactical genius...

Pour out a pint for the junior assistant producer that has to put the highlights together for the Chelsea-Liverpool match.

Two very evenly matched teams that both smack of midtable mediocre.
Only difference between the two was one as got the bestest manager in world football of the last 5 yrs (according to some in the media) and the others have a novice in charge.
Like I said, very evenly matched

United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Spuds are that bad I think the Premier league will have no option but to throw the book at City.

We really are miles ahead of their beloved clubs now and due to only get better.

They won't want to take us on fairly as it's not working.
