00:00
Liverpool's first game since being crowned Premier League champions.
00:05
Ends and defeats Chelsea, 3-1 loss here at Stamford Bridge.
00:10
It was a good occasion for the away supporters, they were in fine voice all their afternoon.
00:17
The vast majority of them making the trip down via coaches because of the issues on going
00:23
with the trains, but they were in good spirits throughout.
00:25
Arnest lost knowledge on his post-match press conference, but it was a little bit of a
00:31
disappointing performance in truth.
00:34
You could see why it was because Arnest made six changes to his Liverpool team, more than
00:39
half of the outfields were changed and Liverpool just lacked a little bit of coherence throughout.
00:45
A few players just looked rusty and maybe if you made one or two changes here and there
00:52
Liverpool might have soft as much when they come up against the Chelsea side who were
00:57
pushing for Champions League qualification.
01:00
Plenty to play for.
01:03
Chelsea weren't fantastic, but Liverpool just weren't at the races, albeit they had a lot
01:08
more of the ball.
01:09
They just struggled to create chances really and only had the two shots on target.
01:14
Chelsea took a lead in the third minute through Enzo Fernandes.
01:16
Pedro Mettel got down the right, put a cross in the box and there was Fernandes in plenty
01:22
of space to sweep home.
01:24
Liverpool responded fairly well.
01:26
Cody Gatpo threatened down the left a couple of times.
01:30
Mo Salah would have had a big chance if he'd have been able to control Trent Alexander-Arnold's
01:35
pass when he was in the box, but his touch just let him down.
01:39
So that, the build struggled in the first half to really test Robert Sanchez and the Chelsea
01:44
goal in the second half before what can they do now, but they conceded an unfortunate second
01:50
goal Liverpool when that man Neto again putting the ball in the box caused a little bit of
01:54
chaos.
01:55
Virgil Van Dijk cleared, thought it was going to be fine, but his clearance hit fellow centre-back
02:01
partner Gerald Quanta, one of the changes who could come into the team and the ball ricocheted
02:06
into the back of the net.
02:07
After that, Liverpool decreased a couple of chances, the best chances, but he couldn't
02:12
get them on target.
02:14
Darwin Nunes had a header and he was picked out inside of the box, but not as well off target.
02:20
And then it was the turn of Mo Salah, who had plenty of space to the back post, but he
02:26
couldn't keep his area left on target either.
02:28
And the breakthrough for Liverpool did arrive in the 85th minute.
02:32
Virgil Van Dijk powering home and Alexa McAllister cornering for what can Liverpool do now in
02:37
this last five, ten minutes?
02:39
Ten minutes were stopped at the time, but it didn't create anything.
02:43
It was Chelsea who put the game to bed when Gerald Quanta was sold slightly short by Dominic
02:49
support, slide a pass, conceded a penalty, which Cole Palmer made no mistake to fire home.
02:55
But, yeah, I think Arna Slott said there's a pre-match press conference, dunk judges now,
03:02
judges on the past performance as the one was the league title.
03:06
I think you have to do that.
03:07
Look at Arsenal, if he's at Anfield next week, I think you can see maybe a stronger team.
03:12
Arna Slott didn't have Brian Gavin Birch in the squads whatsoever today.
03:16
The rest of the likes of Canati, McAllister, Dominic Sabozlai, Andy Robertson was another.
03:22
He might decide to bring a few of those back into the side.
03:27
He felt a little bit for some of the players, as you say.
03:30
Gavin plays a lot all put together, but there were some disappointing performances as well.
03:34
Harvey Elliott could get going.
03:36
Diogo Jota's form is a worrying trend.
03:41
But, yeah, the supporters are in full voice, full credit to them.
03:45
Leaving the stadium, they were still chanting.
03:48
And that's what it'll be for the next three games until they've been hoisted.
03:52
The Premier League title aloft after the last game of the campaign against Crystal Palace on May 26.
03:57
Fenders here, Chelsea 3, Liverpool 1.
