The Reds are unstoppable and 5 things we learnt in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Chelsea

Image
Consistency, defensive solidity, rhythm, intensity and loads of goals pretty much sums of Liverpool at moment. 

 The Reds defeated Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to a sensational free-kick from Alexander Arnold before a brilliant header from Firmino.

 Chelsea did pull back a goal through N'Golo Kante before they're inability to finish off chances might Liverpool where going ot make it 15 consecutive wins in a spin and their 7 away victory in the Premier League.

 Here are the five things we learned:

 1. Liverpool can't keep clean sheets-

 Liverpool's 3-0 win over Burnley is the only clean sheet they've managed to keep all season which frankly needs to improve.

 Jurgen Klopp might now care at the moment but he knows if he is to win the Champions League he has to keep clean sheets at home and score away

 2. Chelsea must ditch zonal marking and focus on man to man marking-

 The ease in which Roberto Firmino scored Liverpool's first goal of the night and almost doubled it should worry Frank Lampard.

 Zonal marking at the moment don't work for his team, he has to tell his team to mark man to man as well as clear aerial balls.
Image 3. Fikayo Tomori has the potential to become a world class defender-

 Tomori was absolutely sibilant against Liverpool as kept Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino quiet for most part of the game.

 Salah didn't have sniff at goal thanks to Tomori whose pace, power and intelligence got the better off the defender.

 There's no doubt, he will become a world class defender and hopefully, it will be at Chelsea.

 4. Liverpool have what it takes to win the Premier League title-

 Liverpool are good enough to match Manchester City in quality and display and their win over Chelsea goes to prove they're Premier League contenders. 

 City might prove they're impossible to stop but this present Liverpool team is just as good as them. 

 5. Chelsea will finish in the top 4-

 Frank Lampard's Chelsea team will finish in the top 4 and probably fight for the FA Cup or the Caraboa Cup. 

 They've the quality and squad to go all the way and hopefully, Lampard will stay longer than his current contract.

Ballon d'Or is bullshit: Messi shouldn't have won it ahead of Van Dijk and Ronaldo

Another year, another catastrophic decision made by the Ballon d'Or organisers who gave the once prestigious trophy to a player who don't deserve to win it.  Its really embarrassing to know that Lionel Messi won the award ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Virgil van Dijk who both outperformed him with both club and country.  Cristiano Ronaldo was arguably the best of trio having won trophies with both club and country. The 34-year-old captained Portugal to the inaugural Nation's League against Holland and lifted two domestic trophies with Juventus.  Added to that, the Seria A Player needs just 6 goals to become the highest goalscorer in International football and yet, Lionel Messi who only lifted the La Liga title with Barcelona beat him to the Ballon d'or? It doesn't make sense..  No disrespect to Messi he is an incredible player, he scored 46 goals with 17 assists in a season that saw Barcelona heavily rely on him for inspiration and goals.  He single-...

De Bruyne reveals Manchester City most underrated player

Kevin de Bruyne has lauded praises on Fernandinho who he says is the club's most underrated player.  Fernandinho impact at City have been huge, he is arguably the club's best defensive midfielder and the one of the top 3 defensive midfielders in world football.  But as he ages, Pep Guardiola decided it was time he switched from a more defensive role into a full blow centre-back which has impressed De Bruyne.  Asked about his vice-captain, De Bruyne said: "Dinho can play everywhere. Since i came here he's been really under-rated", he told Sky Sports.  "For me he was one of the best defensive midfielders in the world, and now he just comes in as central defender and does what he does.  "Props to him, because obviously he is 35 and it's not easy to play a new position, especially when you've never done it in the 14 years before that".  Fernandinho is on course to sign a one year contract with Manchester City.

Why Tottenham's decision to sack Mauricio Pochettino don't make sense

How do you replace a manager like that?  Muaricio Pochettino was arguably the best manager in the world last season having lead Tottenham Hotspur to the final of the Champions League  without signing a single player in 18 months despite having numerous injury problems and also playing most of last season at Wembley.  To reach the club first ever Champions League final was memorable and will take years for another manager to replicate that achievement.  This season might not have started as Spurs have planned. They've won just 3 times, drawn 5 and lost 4 and now sit 14 points off 4 placed Manchester City.  Yes! the Champions League gap is wide but a manager of such quality can turn things around in an instant once the club gives him the backing he wants, sign very good players and retain the service of players who have consistently proven they're good enough to stay. It will difficult finding another top class manager who let the president Deny Levy make all...

Steven Gerrard: Liverpool duo Arnold and Robertson are world best full backs

Liverpool's greatest player Steven Gerrard has lauded praises on Trent Alexander Arnold and Andrew Robertson who have contributed immensely to Jurgen Klopp's team.  Arnold and Robertson are not just attacking fullbacks, they're the creative heart of the team. They take the corner kicks, swing in the crosses, take free-kicks and even score goals.  This season, they've both contributed 8 assists in 12 Premier League to help Liverpool maintain an unbeaten start to the season.  Speaking exclusively on their strength and phenomenal contribution to the team, Steven Gerrard said:  “What we have in Trent and Robbo now, straight away, you would put them in the world-class bracket,” Gerrard told the Liverpool Echo. “They are up there with the best players in their position, worldwide. So there's no point saying how good could they be because they are already there.The thing for Trent now is can he maintain that consistency for as long as he can? Because he can go o...

Jermaine Pennant reveals what will cost Liverpool the Premier League title

Jermaine Pennant has revealed what he thinks will be Liverpool's biggest problem en-route to winning the Premier League.  Pennant admits they've a talented squad with lots of experience who have gone the distance to win the Premier League title only to be pipped by Liverpool. He feels Liverpool's only Achilles heel will be injuries to their key players.  Injuries to superstars like Fabinho, Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Van Dijk could instantly derail their progress.  "The team has all it takes to go unbeaten and win the Premier League title", Pennant told 888 Sports.  "But you feel the team can also be stopped when the top players in the team get injured. Liverpool have four or five players that make the difference and once they're not there you kind of see a drop in standard".  Liverpool play Brighton next at Anfield and will be hoping to continue to march to the Premier League title.

Messi explains why Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola is the best manager in the world!

Barcelona's greatest player Lionel Messi has rated Pep Guardiola has the best manager he has worked with.  Under the tutelage of Guardiola, Messi went on to win 14 trophies in 4 years including Barcelona's first ever treble {the La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League}. Barcelona is the only team in La Liga history to achieve that fate. They won the treble two times in history {2008 and 2015}.  Guardiola's impact at Barcelona and Spain was massive. He introduced a revolutionary brand of football tiki-taka that confused not just his competitors in Spain but Europe and the rest of the world.  Barca dominated domestic football for four years while Spain won the World Cup {2010} and the European Championship {2008 and 2012}.. All that success was achieved in Guardiola's four year sting at Barcelona. Today, Spain can't even reach the semi final of a major competition nor can Barcelona reach a major European final.  Messi believes Guardiola and Luis ...

Maurizio Sarri wins the mentality battle: Cristiano Ronaldo is back to his best for Juventus

Muarizio Sarri wanted a statement from Cristiano Ronaldo now he has. Ronaldo has fired Portugal to brink of Euro 2020 qualification after scoring a hat-trick {his 56th career hat-tick} in Portugal's 6-0 win over Lithuania.  The 34-year-old has now scored 98 International goals in 163 games and looks likely to reach a century when Portugal take on Luxembourg on Sunday.  Sarri thought for moment he could be the coach to close the book on Ronaldo, the man who will finally tell Cristiano Ronaldo; 'You're just not good enough and have to sit on the bench or leave'.  But how wrong was he, Ronaldo posses a giant mentality and hates to be told he is not good enough to play or last the entire match.. Against Lithuania, it sparked him back to live and give him another reason to keep fighting and proving to each and everyone who doubted him that he is the best player in the world. Put it this way, Ronaldo's rebirth is good news not just to Portugal but to Juventus and Ma...

Yaya Toure reveals what Manchester City must do in January to stop Liverpool's title run

Yaya Toure has called on Pep Guardiola to sign a defender this January and stop playing the likes of Rodrigo and Fernandinho in the back.  Rodrigo and Fernandinho are better suited in the holding midfield role and not the centre backs. City have now lost three games in just 12 games played this season and sit 4th in the Premier League table, 9 points off Liverpool..  Another defeat and they can kiss their chances of winning a third consecutive Premier League title goodbye.  Yaya Toure was asked what he thinks about City and he had this to say: "I think it might be hard {to win the Premier League title again} but in January you have to get a defender", Toure told Sky Sports.  "It's not too late, nothing is too late. When i watch the game i don't want to blame nobody, i don't want to blame Rodrigo, he's a young player and a good player, but i think if Fernandinho was in the middle it would be really important.  "City miss him in there, he ...

Scholes: Liverpool have done something Manchester United have never done

Manchester United legend Paul Scoles has lavished praises on Liverpool who is said have already wrapped up the Premier League title.  Scholes can't see anybody catching Liverpool this season who are 13 points off Leicester City and 14 points off reigning champions Manchester City.  The scary part of Liverpool's is that they could move 16 points clear of second place Leicester City if they beat West Ham in their outstanding match.  "I don't think we'd {Manchester United} ever won it by Christmas", Scholes told Premier League Productions.  "This team- look it's game over, there's nobody {who is going to catch them}. I think the question now is how many points they going to win it by, i think they're so good.  "City have a team if any team could get anywhere near them but i don't expect that to happen. I just think Liverpool are too good. I think the biggest fight we've got now this season is probably the relegation fight ...

Liverpool 2-1 Crystal: Firmino is no average striker and 5 things we learnt

Another game, another victory, Liverpool have finally discovered how to grind out results even when playing way below average.  Palace were good to watch, they stopped Liverpool's swashbuckling football in the first 15 minutes of play and put them to the sword by scoring the first goal only for VAR {Video Assistant Referee} to choke it off.  The first half might have ended in stalemate but the second half saw Liverpool take the initiative through Sadio Mane whose snap shot evaded everyone and found the back of the net.  Wilfred Zaha did restore parity to keep Palace fans believing but in the dying minute, Firmino scored the winning goal to put Liverpool 2-1 up and eight points clear of Leicester City.  Here are the five things we learnt:  1. Van DIjk is a monster, he is a world class defender-  Where will Liverpool be without Van Dijk? Porbably in 7th place or most likely 10th. He won every aerial ball, tussled with Jordan Ayew and came out on ...
