Seeing part of the problem with Sturridge in this half, in days gone by he would have that burst of pace, the short acceleration sprint, to get away from his marker but in this half you can see that he just doesnt have the engine for that anymore.

Salah's too nice. He should have got Otamendi sent off in the game vs City but he hurdled the challenge and now again toady, Cahill's pulling his shirt and trips him but he still won't go down.

We need to change our midfield set-up. With Salah playing so high up, Milner's having to play a lot wider on the right and the gap between him and Henderson is far too big and Chelsea keep getting in behind our midfield because of it.

Has to be said, the quality of our corners has been dire for years now, cant really remember the last decent corner taker we had. Seems that usually its Milner or Coutinho that takes them but they are almost always very poor corners.

Salah looks so comfortable play as a lone front man, he's got the pace to play on the shoulder of the defender and the strength to play the target man role. Weird given his small size but he uses his body extremely well when he needs to hold the ball up.

Moreno to cost Liverpool the game? Hes an awful awful defender. Just jumped into a couple of Chelsea players in the box, handballed it and somehow managed to get away without giving away a penalty. He really is a liability.
