Yet it’s only now he´s on that we look any good. Although that is down to him as an individual but at not playing that false nine bollocks and having Hazard where he is supposed to be.

I´m sorry, and I do want to start a whole ding dong again, but I don´t like this manager and I can’t take to him.

I thought we were arguably the better side first half, as Ashley Cole alluded to.

Unfortunately, we keep starting second halves away from home, half asleep and losing games because of it, it’s so infuriating.

What happened in the first half is that we came in 0-0 and with Liverpool quietish and that is where we are now that we consider that a good performance. They then spend 20 minutes with fagash Mo and we come outplaying worse.

A lot of football is about emotion, and maybe I am being unreasonable and emotion led, but I will be happy when he´s gone.

Very unreasonable on Sarri for this one.

We were just beaten by a better team - this is where are and where we've been since pre-Sarri.

People will choose to blame him for everything, it seems. But it’s never down to him when we win, of course.

Higuain entered the field at 2 down but my Facebook is full of abuse directed at him!!! Not a fan of his at this time of his career but we have to be fair.

Personally, I prefer Emerson to Alonso but I thought Emerson should have been stronger on the first. It's moments like this we need better players.

Luiz my MOTM.

It seems plenty of people decide what they think and then analyse a match in a way to back up that pre-conceived narrative.
RLC and CHO were probably our poorest players today. I’m not going to hammer them for that, I’m not expecting them to be brilliant every game, but we know if other players put in the performances they did, then they’d be hammered. Higuain contributed more in 5 minutes than either of them did all game.

I thought both worked well within the team but offered very little outside of the system. This is our problem, only Hazard can step outside of that system when we attack. Luiz is slated for doing likewise at the back.

I'm not happy at all, I hate those rat munching murdering cunts but more often than not the better team win - as we've proved many times v Liverpool.

I have no problem with Higuaín, and if you play young players sometimes they won’t be brilliant, it is the price you pay. I have a real personal dislike of the false nine, I have never been a fan and it also means we lose Hazard from where he is at his best. And with Sarri, the whole Kante thing has just been ridiculous, it would be justified if Jorginho was lighting up the legue, but he is not, so we again lose a fantastic player in return for 2000 passes that lead to nothing.

I am not saying that I am being completely reasonable, I appreciate as this is Chelsea my feelings influence me, I think Sarri has lost me and as his style and his way of doing things is fairly clear I can’t see that he will do anything that is likely to win me back.

Playing a false 9 is bollox, Spain have done it and Chelsea have done it and it´s nonsense, also you yourself have said we often come out asleep in second halfs, who has not managed to do anything about that?

Losing at Anfield right now is not a terrible result, but if we’re honest most of us expected it. That is where we are, not as good as they are, but that isn’t down to Sarri, there are other reasons, however, we are not the best we can be. Over the season he has sucked all the joy out of watching us play, we see players constantly out of position, players who aren’t playing well being picked over and over again, and an inability to cone up with anything original or effective when things aren’t going well.

We win because we are still better than every team below 7th, that is true, but I don’t like this man’s style. Sorry, but nothing I have seen even in victories changes that.

And if we have the ban in place he is definitely the wrong manager for the future.

The head coach, his staff and the players must all take responsibility for how we start second halves away from home. To be fair, it wasn’t quite as bad as others this year, that Salah goal was a killer and could have happened to anyone.

False nine has worked well in some games, not so much in others. Unfortunately, conceding the goals like we did and when we did meant we had to change it, which we did, and we then had a spell where we could have scored two or three. Those missed chances took the wind out of our sails unfortunately and the game just fizzled out.

Nobody needs to apologise for how they think and feel, I just think some of the stuff on social media towards Sarri today is unfair.

Higuain
by upthechels @, 14/04, 18:57 @ Famous

I would argue the killer was Hazard missing those 2 chances when he did. They were akin to a defensive mistake.

Higuain
by Famous, 14/04, 18:28 @ riazorblue

Given Liverpool’s form and record at Anfield, I don’t think it’s a slight on us to say it was a decent first half.

Hazard at his best could have got us something today but unfortunately a lapse in defence and then a moment of brilliance from them has done us in the space of a couple of minutes.

Agree with you if we keep Sarri we keep higuain and kovacic witch is madness to me neither will improve the team.
