Chelsea 0-2 Liverpool : Review

 


Chelsea V/S Liverpool matches have not disappointed in the recent past and today’s game was no different. Liverpool ran out 2-0 victors. An Andreas Christensen red card after consulting VAR changed the whole complexion of the game. 


It was very evenly contested with most of the first half being played in the midfield. Liverpool dominated proceedings in the beginning but as time went on, Chelsea came into the game. Both defences are maintaining high lines and with the pace of Havertz and Werner and Salah and Mane, the midfielders are looking for balls in behind the defence. Fabinho made a very important tackle, taking the ball off Timo Werner. Liverpool didn’t have a clear opportunity at goal in the first half. An end to end first half came to a close with a pivotal moment as Andreas Christensen was sent off after a Rugby tackle on Sadio Mane. A goal was bound to come now that it was 10 v 11. Chelsea had to rise to the challenge, if they had to get anything out of this game.

The second half began with Liverpool on the front foot as expected, Thiago was introduced by Liverpool while Tomori came in for Chelsea replacing Henderson and Havertz respectively. Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino played a lovely one two on the edge of the box, Firmino crossed it in and Mane headed home to give the Reds a lead. Chelsea’s goalkeeping woes continued as Mane intercepted Kepa’s pass before slotting it in. Jorginho got a penalty after Werner was brought down inside the box. Allison made a great save from the penalty diving to his lower left hand side.  


In conclusion, Chelsea need Kepa to improve, or they have to buy another keeper in this window. Kepa had a fairly decent game but mistakes at this level can not really be forgiven. The red card turned the match on its head. Liverpool deservedly grabbed all three points. Fabinho had a brilliant game at Centre Back and this provides Jurgen Klopp with more options in defence.  If we had to choose a Man of the Match, it would be Fabinho.

VAR: Boon or Bane?

  Ever since its introduction, VAR has sparked controversies all around the globe. While it was believed before its introduction that it would reduce the human errors and provide the referees a second chance to rectify their mistakes, it now has left us pondering whether technology intervention was required in the first place.      The good point is that no foul committed can possibly go unnoticed but the disadvantages are far more with the most disturbing being it stops the flow of the game every now and then and this doesn’t augur well for the beautiful game as the frequent stoppages are disturbing both for the players and the audiences. By this time, we already know there have been a record number of penalties awarded in this season’s Premier League and credit goes to VAR for awarding them without much hesitation. For the first time ever we saw a team score after the final whistle. Yes, you heard that right. Manchester United’ s game against Brighton was completed...

Barcelona V/S Napoli : Preview

With the dishonour of going trophyless for the first time since 2007-08 looming large, winning the UCL after 5 years will easily rub off the pain of not winning the La liga and their below par performances during the later stages of the competition, over the years. Having said that, the task on hand is no piece of cake as they face a stubborn Napoli side, inspired by Gennaro Gattuso who can outrival any side on their day. Their strike force is deadly to say the least. Insigne, Mertens, Lozano, Milik, Callejon, Politano can wreck havoc across defences, more so when Barca has a very poor record defensively of late. Napoli  had the most possession(59%) and the most passes in the Serie A, were the Coppa Italia champions and they were the unbeaten team in their group despite being on the same pool with defending champions, Liverpool.  Players missing out- FC Barcelona Missing out influential midfielder, Sergio Busquets and Arturo Vidal through suspension will be a cause of headach...

EL CLASICO : PREVIEW

As Camp Nou gets ready to host the first Clasico of the season, both clubs in their own rebuilding phase will look to get one over their arch rivals. Both clubs have had rather inconsistent starts to the season, by their lofty standards. With the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, this fixture has somewhat lost its glory but the political reasons behind the rivalry will continue to fuel this fixture.  FC Barcelona have come from a nightmare season,not winning any trophy and conceding 8 against Bayern Munich. With renewed hope, under Dutch boss Ronald Koeman, they have started pretty poorly in La Liga, winning two of their four matches. Although it is very early in the season, Barcelona are languishing at tenth in the table. With all the behind the scenes drama, they have coped pretty well. Lionel Messi will be their star man as usual. Coutinho has done well on his return to the club. Griezmann hasn’t yet found his feet in Catalonia. All eyes would be on Gerrard Pique, who got a red ca...
