Every time we entertain Liverpool, it always reminds me of the game which Jesper Gronkjaer scored the goal which started the Abramovich evolution. Let us take some time to reminisce it.
Alright, back to the game. Chelsea were poor in the first half. We were obviously lacking a "defence splitting pass" midfield player in the team to provide for Costa. Fabregas was at the bench. There's also no leader out in the pitch. We will missing John Terry as there was no one commanding the defence line which lead to the 1st goal being scored. 2nd goal by Liverpool was a wonder! Nobody to close Henderson who had a fine shot which Courtios has no way of saving it.
We woke up in the second half. Sudden burst of speed from Matic lead to the goal for "The Beast". That's 5 goals already for him in as many games of the new season. We tried to attack but couldn't break down the Liverpool defence. I believe if Fabregas had come on earlier, we might have a chance to equalise. Next few games will be critical against the top teams. Hopefully we can get some positive results.
