Liverpool vs Chelsea

I can’t go on to the match against Chelsea without a mention of the sad passing of that great servant of Liverpool football club Ian St John. I found this picture of Ian with another great, who has also sadly departed, Tommy Smith. I am sure the club will mark Ian’s passing with a fitting and well deserved tribute before the game – YNWA Saint

Well next up it’s Chelsea. A grubby little club, with a grubby looking owner and Mr Burns as their manager. Oops sorry, I put up a picture of Thomas Tuchel by mistake. (Ed: Don’t worry no one will notice).

Chelsea are improving under Tuchel, at least defensively and have put together a little unbeaten run without any especially spectacular performances or results. They do have a very good squad but getting them to work together is proving difficult and long may it continue.

It seems that Alisson and Fab will be available and Jota could be good for the bench. On that basis the team I would go for is: Alisson, TAA, Phillips, Fab, Robbo, Gini, Jones, Thiago, Mane, Firmino, Salah. We will have better attacking options from the bench too with Jota, Keita, Shaq, Ox and Milly. Despite the loss of our central defence and our Captain we have a great squad that can surely still get a top 4 spot and I wouldn’t rule out a serious run at the CL either.
