Playing at home, the
Liverpool Reds do not walk alone, but today was the exception as a battling and
persistent Chelsea Blues squad doing the ultimate to at least rescue a point and
deny the locals the satisfaction of a win.
As the Pensioners Boss
Antonio Conte making all the right moves and changes in his initial eleven
starting lineup at the end paid off and rescue a point for a draw with the essence
of a win and upset.
So far, for Liverpool
its defensive backfield is raising many red flags as in midweek in Champions League
these sporting a three-goal lead at the end they surrendered in what seemed as an
easy win and ended with a draw against Sevilla.
Today despite their extraordinary
scorer, Mohamed Salah in the 65 minute to give Liverpool the lead shortly as
the visiting Blues equalize in the 85 via Willian to deny the Reds the win that
could uplifted them in the overall table.
Instead, they are on
5th place with a point lead over Arsenal and the Londoners have a
match against Burnley on Sunday, a Gunner win could move the Reds back to sixth
place.
Still the outcome
today would be a bit different if the Reds backfield would hold on to persevere
for the win and exposing of an immediate overhaul come winter markets to add to
its ranks with a couple of fullbacks ready to do the job.
Off course if these are
to aspire for something big in the end of the campaign.
Liverpool cannot let
go of matches that are sentenced to be in their favor and not conform themselves
with just a lone score against foes of the quality as the one they had today at
home as these do not hesitate to deliver an all-around spoil.
Also to make things
worse Willian came as a substitution on the 83 along with Cesc Fabregas 74 and
Pedro in the 77, being this moves for Conte on target and for Willian one two
combination with Eden Hazard providing the pass for the Brazilian finish.
As for Jürgen Klopp
seeing his lead going away by a recently incorporated Willian, not only
silencing the whole of the Kop as well this move will be a nightmarish recollection
that he would certainly will like to forget.
Very well seeing how
his Italian nemesis making some moves in his defense to five men and playing at
the end in a very stingy formation making the moves for Klopp of incorporating
Mane, Lallana and Wijnaldum not effective.
Still the match all
afternoon did not had any elements to be considered a yawner as both squads in
both halves did showed off their mettle and intents of trying to open up the
score, unfortunately going into halftime the score was tied to zero goals.
Next week seems like
an easy enterprise for both squads as Liverpool going to Stoke and Chelsea
playing at home against troubled Swansea; these two would not have any troubles
of winning on tier compromises.
At the end what a
match these two squads offer to a sold out Anfield seeing a struggle of strategies
between both squads managers looking forward to net the win and at the end they
had their fair share of points.
