Good game for the neutral and pleased to see Bournemouth get up.

It looks to me like the team with the best defence will win the league which, at the moment, you'd have to say, will be Chelsea. Everyone else is rowing a leaky boat.

Injuries and suspensions may mean he will still be needed, but if I was John Terry I'd be thinking about what I'm going to do in retirement.

You can see the differences in the Chelsea and Leicester defences this season with the transfer of Kante, a great shielding midfielder.

Terrible result (for us anyway), and no doubt Klopp will be kicking some backsides after this one.

With an Italian in charge Chelsea they sure are disciplined ie when the other team has the ball its straight back into a 5-4-1 formation with the 2 lines of 5 and 4 so compact it actually looks like a bus just outside their 18 yard box :)

And why not when you can break as deadly as they did in the second half. The old suck them in and counter attack asap where you can.

Was funny watching Pep walking in circles rubbing his head. I think he got out coached in this game.

Are any of them? You never see one of these "geniuses" coaching West Brom or Brighton & Hove Albion, so it's hard to tell.

As it happens, I said many years ago that Ranieri was the foundation of Chelsea's resurgence. Roman's loot didn't do any harm either, but they were on the upswing anyway thanks to Claudio. Maybe he is a genius?

As someone wrote today, no point beating Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City when you can't beat Sunderland, Burnley or Bournemouth - this is the reason Liverpool won't win the league.

Disagree.
Absolutely on point beating teams around you.
Fallacy to believe otherwise.

That person is wrong (but we won't win the league anyway)

4 points beating City and drawing with Sunderland is better than beating Sunderland and drawing with City as we have taken points off rivals. We cant win every game.
If we had beaten Sunderland, Burnley or Bournemouth and dropped points in the other games we would (currently) be lower than second.

So please elaborate on the logic you quoted?

Yep that's what I was gonna write but hadn't had morning coffee yet!

On track for 84 point season, that's enough of a tally for title winner in a competitive season where top 4-6 take points of each other. Unlikely to be enough for to catch a run away leader - Chelsea.

In days gone by Liverpool fans would not accept being beaten or dropping points to ANYBODY - just goes to show how accepting of mediocrity Liverpool fans have become - still making excuses. Will always come first in being the most deluded group of people on the planet.

I have no idea why an autocorrect or fat fingers of mine would put that - don't know how it happened. I clearly meant abuse.

Anyway, you clearly have nothing of any value or factual to put into this conversation - so why are you even posting in a LFC thread, nothing else to do?

And no goals conceded as well, of course. But that goes without saying!

He's right though. Do you think Liverpool in the 80's would have been happy dropping points to Bournemouth?

What would you prefer to see

P 38, W 37

OR

P38, W38?

my Klopp was not a happy man in the post press interview.. apparently (didnt see the game) the free kick shouldn't of been given and that resulted in a penalty for handball.

He's clearly wrong though, it was never a possibility.
And if we lost/drew one game any season we would always accept it.

He was wrong to be so upset IMO. We didn't get the rub of the green (unlike your team who got the run of the Dean), but we didn't win because their 'keeper played well and we weren't clinical enough.
