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

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.

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.

10 years without a trophy! Its time Harry Kane ditch Tottenham Hotspur

Last season was memorable, Tottenham Hotspur were very close to lifting their first ever Champions League trophy. If they had won it, Spurs would've been the dream club of every elite player. Superstars all over the world would've joined at the opportunity to play for them while the likes of Christian Eriksen, Vertonghen, Ross and others won't hesitate to extend their contract. But the defeat to Liverpool was sour and the bitter taste have lingered on till this very day. Spurs have dropped to a level of mediocrity never seen before and questions are beginning to be asked about the manager's commitment to the club's course as well as players. The top players are running down their contract with the view of moving else where there's a realistic chance of winning trophies. That idea of leaving has gobsmacked Harry Kane who now knows he might never win a single trophy with Spurs despite having Mauricio Pochettino as his manager. Why? Tott...

Say no to Racism! Bulgaria fans and crazy people have no place in football

Another day, another devastating blow to the struggle to end racism in football. The embarrassing display from Bulgaria fans showed why FIFA and the European governing body must take a stuff stand on doing something about racism. Nobody wants to be called a monkey neither do they want to remember the history of their forefathers been hanged and burnt for been black by the KKK. Football is a beautiful game, a game which combines passion, tactics, brawls, near misses and goals to give you almost perfect result. Although, this combinations can be beautiful if it goes you're way and negative if you team is losing especially if its a 6-0 hammering. Bulgaria were beaten mercilessly by England and the aftermath from the fans was the monkey chants and Nazi salutes. Its was a black lash from the fans who were disgusted with watching England's world class team carve them open time after time. If the three lions had taken their chances, they would've w...

Fabinho could miss Manchester City clash: So should Liverpool rest him against Aston Villa?

Fabinho might have struggled for 5-6 months to make Liverpool's first team when he first arrived but now, he is one of those names Jurgen Klopp never omits in the first team.. He plays every game nowadays and makes key contributions to the team's game plan. His tackles, interceptions and dynamism remains one of the key reasons Liverpool are yet to lose a Premier League game this season. But, the Brazilian tackles haven't been always good and have resulted to four yellow cards. If he picks up another against Aston Villa he will miss Liverpool's title deciding clash against Manchester City at Anfield. No disrespect to Aston Villa, they're a good team but Liverpool don't really need Fabinho in the team to win.. Its going to tough no doubt about that, but the likes of Jordan Henderson and James Milner can play in his position and Liverpool will still win. So should Liverpool play him or rest for the penultimate clash with Manchester City?

Trent Alexander- Arnold will miss Liverpool's trip to Switzerland after picking up a knock during training. The Guinness World holder for the most assist by a defender in a single league campaign will now be replaced by James Milner or Joe Gomez. Why? Liverpool do not have a like for like replacement for the full backs neither do they've for the wingers.

Can Liverpool star Andrew Robertson stop Wolves superstar Adama Traore?

What a player Adama Traore has turned into in just five weeks.. The 23-year-old has developed into one of Europe's electrifying winger.

Fact or fiction: Is Liverpool becoming dependent on Sadio Mane?

Sadio Mane is the world's best left back, debatable, but a vast majority of Liverpool fans will agree that he is outstanding and a leader in front of the pack. He fights for the team; puts his body on the line to get maximum points and wouldn't mind picking a fight with his teammates, opposition and even the coaching staff. Mane is born winner and his display proves it. Former Tottenham and Manchester Untied forward Garth Crooks feels Liverpool are relying heavily on the Senegalese international. Why, he has scored nine goals and providing three assists in 14 appearances and he was the reason they defeated Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. Both games would've ended draws had Mane not gone down in the box. Mane just knows Liverpool won't win it if he doesn't put his body on the line and he those. "Two seasons ago it was Mohamed Salah who was carrying Liverpool", Crooks told BBC Sports. "Last season it was Virgil van Di...

Is Manchester United 1999 team better than Manchester City'S 2019 team?

Premier League's most decorated player Ryan Giggs is overly convinced that he played for a Manchester United team that can compete with Pep Guardiola's incredible Manchester City team. Giggs feels the 1999 Manchester United that won the Champions League, the Premier League and the Carling Cup {now called the Caraboa Cup} can rival City. He even went as far as saying United of the past can challenge City to the Premier League. Pep Guardiola made history by becoming the first and nly manager in Premier League history to win the Premier League title with 100 points and the following season retained it with 98 points. Sir Alex Ferguson meanwhile have never won the league with more than 92 points. His highest point tally was in 91 points back in 2008. Comparing both teams don't match up. The present Manchester City team is far stronger and more equipped to compete for domestic titles than United were in the past. Added to that, City are the first team i...
