Alonso, why?
Emerson does not deserve to be benched, for him.
80 odd degrees heat, and he picks the slowest three players in the league, to start :- Cahill, Alonso and Fabregas, as well as the player with the slowest brain, Bakayoko. Along with Giroud, this has to be the slowest Chelsea team he could pick. The only hope we have, is if the scousers are the worst for wear, after Rome.
Is there still hope? Not with that starting eleven.
Must admit it doesn't get my juices flowing. At least we're not relying on Cesc to partner Kante. Same as re Emerson.

A fantastic result.
A good job the Scousers, were showing signs of fatigue, after Rome.
Thought Rudiger and Kante were superb, in another, mainly defensive performance.
Maybe we do still have a small chance...
It's the way to set up and beat them though. It worked, their dangerous front 3 offered very little.
Job done, 3 points.
Kante player of the year by a mile. Superb again today. Hazard and rudiger also very decent. Probably bakayokos best game in a blue shirt too.

I'll take this result forcing Liverpool to take the BHA game seriously ahead of the CL Final
