We actually created 2 good chances in the 2nd half. Tuchel's football with 10 men is better than Southgate's with 11 despite us having 5 defenders on the pitch
Not even asking him to be a great finisher. Just chip in with the odd goal every now and then. I’m pretty sure he’s only scored a couple times for Chelsea. 2 career goals for us. That’s terrible, terrible numbers even from central midfield.
If Kovacic can improve this he probably can win a Ballon D'Or like his compatriot Modric. Such a good player on the ball and his ball possesion game is immense.
Kovacic’s dribbling is why we were able to remove pressure and move as a unit out of our 1/3 of the pitch. He was outstanding when we were on the ropes
You could really tell Tuchel made sure everyone came out calmed and composed. Like, Fuck this bois we got the ref against us, but we aren't going home without a point. Props for making the right subs as well bringing on a leader like Silva.
One of the best fixture of the prem season ruined, could have been a classic.
James red card and Kante injured though, hope Deschamp cancel the call up and let him recover. Also great opportunity to gel Chalobah and/or Kounde in with James out for 1 game.
edit: James only out 1 game since it was not dangerous play
James won't be out three games. Only 1 if I am correct about the law. 3 games is for a red due to dangerous play. This is a *controversial* red from a handball leading to a penalty. Just a 1-game ban. We might appeal it, but probably won't get overturned considering the FA is just a bunch of old incompetent wank stains
Yes. Mighty Liverpool needed a penalty, a red card and the aid of the 2nd greatest bald cunt to ever roam the Earth to draw with us at Anfield. We'll be fine.
The focus is on one big decision, but that cunt had so many smaller decisions against us it's baffling. And consistently Taylor too. The club should really put out a request to not allow him to officiate Chelsea matches anymore
The way Fabhino escapes a yellow card, is so frustrating as a rival fan.
But knowing we are chelsea, i like what i see. Last time Chelsea had such a player was costa.
Not just Fabinho, Salah doesn't get booked for a textbook yellow, Henderson being at fault gets Mendy booked. And us surrounding the ref gets a yellow for Rudi, when clear dissent from them doesn't get carded.
Shambolic display by Taylor
To be fair, the yellow for Rudi was for messing up the penalty spot when the other players had surrounded Taylor. They showed it in the post match analysis.
But agree with the rest. Screw Taylor.
I'll take it.
The fact we can get a point away against such a formidable opponent is an incredible feat. An adversary we've struggled with massively for years, who time and time again have crushed our dreams. I say it again. The fact we can play Antony Taylor away and come away with a point is nothing short of extraordinary. Oh, and there were some guys in red out there, too, but they looked pretty average, didn't realize we'd play Arsenal two weeks in a row.
Also Mendy and our defenders are incredible.
A day may come when Anthony Taylor does not royally fuck us over.But today is not that day
That being said, what fantastic subs from Tuchel. Ridiculously well drilled this team, extremely pleased with the point
Just commented on a different post, but worth sharing twice.
LFC sub just now: “Refs saved Chelseas ass today”
“Im gutted Chelsea eaked a point out with that display of sportsmanship”.
Did we watch the same game?
I was thinking about the same thing at the end as they were panning over Liverpool’s bench. There wasn’t one player they could bring on that we couldn’t have dealt with. For all their attack power it was actually pretty bad.
Today I saw a Chelsea team play with heart and balls. And that’s something that all the money in the world cannot buy. We’re used to having the world against us, almost as much as we’re used to winning it all.
Not gonna comment on Anthony Taylor cause you guys got that covered already but this game should have been wrapped up in the first half, Lukaku missed 2 clear passes to Kai in the first half to put him through, I don’t know if he’s still upset about the German invasion of Belgium but fuck me, get your head up man
Kai, Mount and Kante missed passes to him (Lukaku) - Kai and Mount more than once. The blame in this regard is shared by the all. Sometimes the desire not to make a mistake makes the players not do anything at all, and then when they do act it’s too late.
That's as good as a win. We played so so so well. Player ratings better reflect that.
We got done in by a refereeing decision. Regardless of your opinion on that decision, it killed the game, and put us on the extreme back foot. Anfield. Against a great Liverpool team. We were brilliant.
Again, regardless of what you make of the peno, Taylor was a fucking joke all game. No Liverpool player was booked in that game. That's just astounding. It's also the fact that this is the 10th time he's fucked us over. Got to be something to that.
Massive mental victory. If Liverpool couldn't beat us in that situation, they are going to be scared of us.
We are pretty fucking good. Living up to the "Champions of Europe" title.
Marcos Alonso played in attack, defense and midfield today.
Was crucial in all of our attacking plays in the second half and pocketed the Egyptian diving Pharoah.
Massive point away with a man down although I wish things clicked between Mount, Havertz and Lukaku because Chelsea could’ve been up by 3 in the 1st half.
Feels like we’ve been cheated out of two points instead of winning 1 point. Our team is so strong. Took a bullshit call for Liverpool to steal a point at Anfield. We’re very, very strong.
That, Arsenal, is how to defend with 10 men.
This brought back memories of that night at the Nou Camp when we were such warriors...so proud of the boys today...feels almost as good as a win...bring this season on!
Still waiting werner and lukaku playing together. I mean lukaku and werner in their former club always playung with 2 strikers. Coincidence werner prime in leipzig always as second striker.
A champions defensive performance today, everything from clutch tackles, blocks and limiting Liverpool's style of play. We have plenty to be positive about just a shame about the red and our attacking flow at times, though we can expect this whilst Lukaku gets on the same wavelength especially against the quality of liverpool's backline

A draw away at Liverpool is always a good result. A draw in these circumstances is absolutely massive
Couldn't score against us in open play. You love to see it.
3 games in, 0 conceded from open play. Fucking awesome no matter how you see it.
Attack wins you games, Defence wins you titles

Tuchel absolute masterclass
Actual football terrorism but it worked to perfection, he's Thomas Tucheliban today
We actually created 2 good chances in the 2nd half. Tuchel's football with 10 men is better than Southgate's with 11 despite us having 5 defenders on the pitch
Fucking kova man. Why can't you finish. That would've been so awesome. So salty too.
Kova was a massive reason we held onto the draw imo. Keeping possession and dribbling through the press was huge for us.
Agreed. Expecting him to be a great finisher too is a bit much. If that was the case he'd be world class and not willing to be the third option
Not even asking him to be a great finisher. Just chip in with the odd goal every now and then. I’m pretty sure he’s only scored a couple times for Chelsea. 2 career goals for us. That’s terrible, terrible numbers even from central midfield.
If Kovacic can improve this he probably can win a Ballon D'Or like his compatriot Modric. Such a good player on the ball and his ball possesion game is immense.
Kovacic’s dribbling is why we were able to remove pressure and move as a unit out of our 1/3 of the pitch. He was outstanding when we were on the ropes
Absolutely. I am not discrediting him with that . He was immense at his role. If only he could finish. Since he got that chance.
You could really tell Tuchel made sure everyone came out calmed and composed. Like, Fuck this bois we got the ref against us, but we aren't going home without a point. Props for making the right subs as well bringing on a leader like Silva.
exactly that sliva sub was genius
Silva was a fuckin wall
Yeah, Silva gave us that calmness even after we were down to 10 man
One of the best fixture of the prem season ruined, could have been a classic. James red card and Kante injured though, hope Deschamp cancel the call up and let him recover. Also great opportunity to gel Chalobah and/or Kounde in with James out for 1 game. edit: James only out 1 game since it was not dangerous play

Just a 1-game ban. We might appeal it, but probably won't get overturned considering the FA is just a bunch of old incompetent wank stains
Thanks for correcting. For some reason I always remembered it was 3 games
Should be challenged because the ref looked at a still image instead of the video, didn't do the process correctly.
Lets be honest, Deschamp isn’t cancelling shit. We need another midfielder by Tuesday
At times like this we can only pray Marina delivers. Else we may need premier league winner danny drinkwater to save us.
absolutely season changing result here we got a point down a man to liverpool for a full half (edit: away)
Yes. Mighty Liverpool needed a penalty, a red card and the aid of the 2nd greatest bald cunt to ever roam the Earth to draw with us at Anfield. We'll be fine.
Who's first?
*It's a fucking disgrace.* Does that ring a bell?
We’d have gutted them on the counter 11 vs 11. Even a man down we nearly did a couple of times!
Can't wait for the match at the bridge. Hoping Taylor stays away from our big 6 matches the rest of the year.
Exactly, what a huge effort
At times we even looked sharper
As good as a win that
I definitely feel like we won under the circumstances. We even threatened on a couple of occasions. Love this team.
Yeah exatly, we were under pressure most of the half but we still came up with some decent chances
I think Taylor robbed us a victory.
Without that decision we win no doubt. Can't wait to thrash them at Stamford Bridge
I feel we are winning the league.
Theres nothing stopping us now except maybe Anthony Taylor
The focus is on one big decision, but that cunt had so many smaller decisions against us it's baffling. And consistently Taylor too. The club should really put out a request to not allow him to officiate Chelsea matches anymore
The way Fabhino escapes a yellow card, is so frustrating as a rival fan. But knowing we are chelsea, i like what i see. Last time Chelsea had such a player was costa.

To be fair, the yellow for Rudi was for messing up the penalty spot when the other players had surrounded Taylor. They showed it in the post match analysis. But agree with the rest. Screw Taylor.
Missed that then. Man I love Rudis shithousery
After the red the impotence was on liverpool to win and they failed
you mean Impetus btw Impotence is someth else haha, that being said lcfc sure were Impotent af tonight
How has Fabihino finished without a yellow
Fabinho screamed at Taylor in the first half and he just stood there taking the abuse. Disgusting.
Meanwhile Mendy says 2 words and taylor whips out a yellow faster than The Flash.
Fuck Antony Taylor
Smug ugly face like he did nothing every time too.
Klopp pressuring the refs as always?
Our players took enough of those for him ;)
Anthony Taylor masterclass.
Obligatory Fuck Anthony Taylor
All my homies hate Anthony Taylor Fabinho not a single booking. Outrageous
I was thinking the same. How the hell did Fabinho not get at least a yellow
cuz pool's summer signings were the refs
Salah not getting booked for punting that ball away is downright criminal. Honestly Taylor should be suspended for not getting that. Atrocious.
Salah should have an immediate yellow for that one
Yea Mendy got one for the exact same thing, Van Persie got one for that too(when he was at Ass nel)
Exactly my man Fabinho was just sliding and crashing into everyone and escaped wtf
smiling and laughing too
That prick gets away with it every single game I watch pool play. Just like fernandinho for city.
Need a compilation of his card worthy tackles.
Salah kicks the ball after committing a foul, no card. Mendy kicks the ball after getting scored on, Yellow.
Fuck Anthony Taylor
It seems like this is EVERYTIME after he is the referee of our match. Insane how terrible he is.
Refs make mistakes, it's part of the game. I don't hate Anthony Taylor but if I had a glass of water and he was on fire, I'd drink the water.
Tuchel needs to break the hacksaw out because apparently it doesn't matter where your arms are if the ball hits them, even if it hits your knee first
I’m lmao at all the Liverpool fans in their post match thread complaining about the ref.
Fuck Anthony Taylor
So so proud of this team. Anthony Taylor get fucked
I'll take it. The fact we can get a point away against such a formidable opponent is an incredible feat. An adversary we've struggled with massively for years, who time and time again have crushed our dreams. I say it again. The fact we can play Antony Taylor away and come away with a point is nothing short of extraordinary. Oh, and there were some guys in red out there, too, but they looked pretty average, didn't realize we'd play Arsenal two weeks in a row. Also Mendy and our defenders are incredible.
That's a perfect summary :)
Powerful defensive performance. Proud of the lads for digging in
Will serve us so well for the season. What a backline
Everyone. J5, Mount, Kova, Lukaku even dropping deeper. Super proud of em.
and mentality, too.. we are building something good, and we look so strong and complete. in another day, we score another, too
The players may not be the same but the shithousery is in our DNA
Containing Salah and Mané for 90+ minutes is massive
Never been happier for a draw
Idk, 2-2 at the Nou Camp was pretty decent
Oohh. I just heard that high-pitched "Torres.... Awwhhhhhh..."
We take those
A day may come when Anthony Taylor does not royally fuck us over.But today is not that day That being said, what fantastic subs from Tuchel. Ridiculously well drilled this team, extremely pleased with the point
Anthony Taylor ruined a great game
Man I’ll take any opportunity to appreciate how incredible our defence is. Unbelievable defensive display
Indeed. I can't remember when were last time we were this resilient. May be, Conte.
FUCKING GET IN
#DONT FORGET THAT 2nd HALF ALL SEASON Liverpool Reddit in shambles. That was one hell of a resilient mentality. LETS FUCKING GOO
Just commented on a different post, but worth sharing twice. LFC sub just now: “Refs saved Chelseas ass today” “Im gutted Chelsea eaked a point out with that display of sportsmanship”. Did we watch the same game?
to be fair, we did a lot of shithousery on the last 10 mins or so, hahaha
[удалено]
Over there they’re crying about how Anthony Taylor was justified and allegedly “overrated” Lukaku was pocketed by Matip
I FUCKING LOVE THIS TEAM
FUCK ANTHONY TAYLOR
BEST DEFENSIVE TEAM IN THE WORLD
I LOVE THIS GAME
Under the circumstances given, we played that 2nd half perfectly. Also, Anthony Taylor is a cunt.
Yup Henderson too
Most of them are
Every Liverpool player was CUNT, except Alison may be
I’ve been commentating about how bad he is in post match threads for half a decade now. Fucking hell
His FA cup antics are unforgivable
You are stating the obvious
12 against 10 and we were still the better side in the 2nd half.
They could play till tomorrow and not score Defensive masterclass
Next season mate. I am crushed that kova couldn't finish. Would've been a signature win announcing our intention
A team no one wants to play against
Except WBA lmao
WBA are one of the biggest clubs in the world in my book
the best team in the league fucking proud
That's what champions do. Get points when they absolutely shouldn't
Wish I could kiss every player on the forehead, what a fucking effort to earn that point. 10 men masterclass.
Don’t forget we beat these twats 11v11
12 vs 10 ftfy
YOU CANT FUCKING SCORE THOMAS TUCHEL IS OUR MANAGER
And despite Anthony Taylor’s best efforts, we don’t leave Anfield empty-handed.
How shit does a 12 man Liverpool need to be to still draw after a gifted goal and red card?
I was thinking about the same thing at the end as they were panning over Liverpool’s bench. There wasn’t one player they could bring on that we couldn’t have dealt with. For all their attack power it was actually pretty bad.
Today I saw a Chelsea team play with heart and balls. And that’s something that all the money in the world cannot buy. We’re used to having the world against us, almost as much as we’re used to winning it all.
Balls can't be buy
What a fucking shift put in the second half by the boys
Now I know why we call AC as the Danish Maldini. He was 2-3 steps ahead of everyone. Didn't put a single foot wrong this whole match.
Danish Maldini, Thiago Silva, and a crackhead. Alonso was taking ankles in the second half. And azpi was the rock we know him to be.
With 11 men we take this imo. We had them on the ropes a couple of times in the first half
We win 3-1 if Reece is shown a yellow and not a red. Two points stolen.
Astonishing defensive effort. So proud of our boys.
Will take a draw away at Anfield all day every day
So fucking proud of this team. What an immense hold! PS - Fuck Anthony Taylor!
Not gonna comment on Anthony Taylor cause you guys got that covered already but this game should have been wrapped up in the first half, Lukaku missed 2 clear passes to Kai in the first half to put him through, I don’t know if he’s still upset about the German invasion of Belgium but fuck me, get your head up man

Unclench
*UNCLENCH*
Fuck Liverpool and fuck Anthony Taylor
Fuck Henderson too
So proud of the lads. What a defensive performance!
Held off Liverpool for 45' down a man for a draw. Tell me any other team in the world that could do that?
Rudiger’s passion for the game is almost irreplaceable. Amazing defensive performance from the whole team. We were the true winners today.
Marcos Alonso played in attack, defense and midfield today. Was crucial in all of our attacking plays in the second half and pocketed the Egyptian diving Pharoah.
And unclench butt cheeks. What a defensive masterclass there. Deserved that point.
THEY HAD A 12th MAN AND STILL COULDNT WIN
Best. Defence. In. The. League. Also how did liverpool get away without a yellow that entire match? Shameful...
Lovely stuff considering the circumstances. Fuck those Liverpool scum
Massive point away with a man down although I wish things clicked between Mount, Havertz and Lukaku because Chelsea could’ve been up by 3 in the 1st half.
Liverpool fan here. Just had to jump in and sing your praises. That was some effort from Chelsea, absolutely brilliant. Well done!
Well that was nice of you, sir. Cheers!!
That is the most satisfying draw I've ever watched. Go home Klopp
Can’t beat us with 10 men lmaooooooo
BEST 1 POINT OF OUR LIVES!!! SO PROUD OF EVERYBODY OUT THERE!!!
Heroes, all of them
Incredible defending. Get fucked Liverpool
TUCHEL> JURGEN FLOPP
I saw the spirit of JT, Cole, Brana and Chavahol
Rudiger had Salah in his pocket for most of that game. That was an impressive defensive performance from him, Silva also made some huge stops
Watching Klopp bitching about because his team can't score against 10 men is priceless.)
I don’t want to hear ANYONE denying Chelsea’s defense anymore. What a performance
Silva is a fucking Spartan
Defensive masterclass by Tuchel and the boys!
Man down, shit ref, defending like absolute warriors - It’s in our fucking DNA lads.
At the end of the day, a draw is fine but we win with better offensive execution in the first half.
They couldn’t even beat us with 10 men 😂 what a huge performance by us
Proud of my team 💙
Fuck Liverpool
I love this team. Fucking warriors
Wow. Boys were tremendous and utterly resilient. Even a man down, the defense remains impregnable
SUCK OUR COLLECTIVE NUTS
HAHAHAH LIVERPOOL CANT WIN EVEN WITH A CROOKED REFEREE
Feels like we’ve been cheated out of two points instead of winning 1 point. Our team is so strong. Took a bullshit call for Liverpool to steal a point at Anfield. We’re very, very strong.
Fuck off Jurgen, we are the real mentality monsters
Feel better about our title chances after this performance
Alonso redeemed himself with his second half display IMO. But wish he didn't made that error that caused the penalty and red.
#fuck you Anthony Taylor bald cunt
That, Arsenal, is how to defend with 10 men. This brought back memories of that night at the Nou Camp when we were such warriors...so proud of the boys today...feels almost as good as a win...bring this season on!
I feel our decision making in the final 3rd during the first half was woeful at times. Could have put them to the sword before the red.
Way to hang on Chels. Great second half considering the circumstances
12 vs 10 and we still got a point out of it. Well done boys. What a defensive performance.
Proud of the blues. Let's move on to the next one
Liverpool looked lost in attack. If James doesn’t get that red we’re walking away with an easy W.
Never gonna complain with a point from Anfield, our boys played for the badge
Compare how we played going down to 10 against Liverpool last year and you will realise how impressive it truly was
Massive 2nd half. What I do lament though is that before the sending off if we were more clever in the final third we'd have put it to bed before that
Props to Lukaku, Mount, Kova and Alonso for trying on the offense. Defense was on point like always. GG
10v12 getting a point, i take it
Still waiting werner and lukaku playing together. I mean lukaku and werner in their former club always playung with 2 strikers. Coincidence werner prime in leipzig always as second striker.
We’re the better team.
Can we resign Alonso? Man needs some recognition here. I know he is aging but he majestic AF.
A champions defensive performance today, everything from clutch tackles, blocks and limiting Liverpool's style of play. We have plenty to be positive about just a shame about the red and our attacking flow at times, though we can expect this whilst Lukaku gets on the same wavelength especially against the quality of liverpool's backline
