Chelsea beat Liverpool 2-1 in this round, sending the Reds to three consecutive losses in each competition. After the game, Zhan Jun posted a message.

Zhan Jun:

From the finale to the finale of the expert to the finale of two consecutive rounds, Liverpool's good game is always in stoppage time. The team lost four consecutive games to London. The three midfielders of "Mc8H" in this game still couldn't beat the Blues' god of war Kesedo + Enzo + Gusto. Too many opportunities were wasted in the second half. One of the reasons for the defeat. When will Salah get rid of his sluggish state?

Another reason why Slott lost two consecutive Premier League losses for the first time since taking office is that he is too conservative in substitutions and lacks targetedness. When the two teams fought in the final stage, he chose to replace Endo Kazuki to "protect the tie", and did not arrange the tactics of crossing and high-point bombing on the opponent's temporary central defender combination based on the weakness of insufficient height of the opponent.

Wilz is too easy to lose the ball, and the help he brings to the team on offense is far less than the trouble he causes to the defense. Liverpool will feel a sense of crisis. If Crystal Palace wins tomorrow night, the Reds will retreat to third in the standings. Can international matches be adjusted in time?

The whole Chelsea team scored three-pointers with experience and resilience. The central defender players were constantly injured, the defense line and the midfield were forced to adjust, and they still rely on their amazing midfield hardness and two sets of wingers to win the game. Maresca's "complete work" worked well, and in the end, the second yellow card he received for showing his passion also won the hearts of Blues fans!

There are many players worthy of praise: Kesedo, Enzo and James are the backbone, and Kukurelia and Gusto are dedicated to their duties. The biggest surprise is the 18-year-old Estewan!
