Chelsea and Liverpool match, is the best game in the Premier League, the first half is all fast-paced, the second half looks like the goalkeepers of both teams are doing well, of course, this game the draw between the two teams is the worst result, because Manchester City's advantage has increased, but this game can also see the problems of the two teams, simply look at this game.
Liverpool actually except for Mateo Kovacic's fairy ball, the defense was average in this game, but the goalkeeper did well
Liverpool can not participate in this game because some of the main players can not participate in the game, there are some squad rotations, but this rotation is not very successful, Van Dijk and Konat's centre-back combination, the performance is not good, at least this game Van Dijk did not show how good defensive strength, Conat state is also very general. Although the midfielder Fabinho came out, but the state is average, compared to Milner's performance is very good, this is a very interesting thing, now Milner is really important to Liverpool, why did not use Keita, play Chelsea use Keita, is to lose more? Striker Jota didn't do well enough. He doesn't perform well, the team's forward line will be less efficient at scoring goals, and that's the case. Overall, Liverpool now feel that they are not in the state except for the goalkeeper. However, the performance in the second half was much better, but in the second half Chelsea also played at a level. So Liverpool have now begun to see the problem of the lack of depth of the squad, but there is no way, this problem is a problem that Liverpool has always had.
After Keita and Salah went to the African Cup of Nations, the decline in the strength of the team was more obvious.
Chelsea's problems were partly solved in this game
Why is it that Chelsea part of the problem is solved, this game Mateo Kovacic and Kante can play, the team's midfield defense and attack have indeed improved, of course, Kovacic now looks really an all-round midfielder, the passing ability is too good, Kante although the data is average, but at least the defense is not bad, this is the most lacking ability in Chelsea before, so this is good news, these two people return, Chelsea should be able to solve the problem of midfield, some defensive problems can also be solved. But some problems can not be solved, why say so?
Chaloba didn't do well enough, but he did well in the second half and he still needs some games to stay in shape. Silva's performance is not good enough, So is Rudiger's performance, and now Chelsea's backline, the performance is much worse than the beginning of the season, this is a bit helpless, many player contract problems have not been solved, the level of this backline is now significantly declining. There is no Lukaku and Werner in the front, there is really no fulcrum, although the team scored two goals in this game, but it seems that there is no connection with the center? Havertz is now playing average as a centre forward, so Lukaku is still important, at least Chelsea still needs Lukaku to play. Pulisic's role for this Chelsea team is to increase speed on the flanks, which is his role, but he is too easy to get injured.
Chelsea should be stable and the midfield is back to normal, but there are no centre-forwards in the front, and it is a bit difficult to continue to win the next games. Mendy should be participating in the African Cup of Nations, Kepa's opportunity has come, the goalkeepers of the two teams in the second half really played too well, but Liverpool are now obviously more tired than Chelsea, this is not good news, now look, how can Manchester City lose the title?
