Well, west ham made hard work of it and invited them to score but got over the line. Great freekick from cresswell to make 2 0, who has done fuck all for us in about 2 years. Laughably Hammers go 5th.
In the end, comfy win for liverpool. Chelsea battled, a lot of huff n puff and approach work but not much bite upfront. Liverpool did the job in first half and survived a bit of Chelsea improvement in 2nd.
Massive 3 points for the Reds today. That was a potential banana skin after a cruel Euro defeat/midweek trip to Italy. An away game to an old enemy after a canter-like win for the Billionaires Squad. Very happy. And it looks like Leicester, West Ham and Bournemouth fancy those Euro places up for grabs from the faltering Old Gang.
In fairness we are only 6 games in. Another 6 and only lie-cester of those three will be in top 6! This time of year its about who you have played. It doesnt give a true reading.
Turns out Bolton's only two really decent playwrs are on loan till January. So we may get even worse after that. Think we are under another two year embargo. So it's frees and loans. I think we are not even allowed long term loans. Punished for years of mishandling by the owner who walked away with 5 million plus. Absolutely no justice there.
Joke the PL Committee & officiating its mostly employed from the midlands & north. These old-time refs now doing VAR use it like a security-blanket fouling too. Not surprised who refereed another pool-fan.
Pool was dominated the last 20+ minutes it don't look good in defence with 32 games left..
