    Liverpool v. Chelsea
    Saturday, October 30, 2015
    Stamford Bridge, London, UK
    TV (US): NBCSports
    Time: 8:45AM Eastern Standard Time (US; Europe changed clocks one week ahead of US)

    Table and History
    9. Liverpool (DDDDDW, all comps.)
    .
    15. Chelsea (LLWDLL, all comps.)

    History: Liverpool have the edge with 75 wins, 37 draws, 61 losses in all competitions.

    Injuries and Suspensions
    Liverpool: OUT: Toure, Sturridge, Rossiter, Ings, Gomez, Henderson, Flanagan; GAMEDAY: Benteke
    Chelsea: OUT: Courtois, Ivanovic; GAMEDAY: Pedro, Costa,
    Suspensions: None; Jose Mourinho will be in the dugout: http://www.espnfc.us/chelsea/story/2689295/chelsea-boss-jose-mourinho-will-be-on-bench-for-liverpool

    Notable
    -we have scored in 24 consecutive home matches; the longest current run in the league
    -Terry could start his 550th match for us this weekend
    -Liverpool have not won in 5 of their previous matches at the Bridge
    -Scorers in the league: Own goals 3, Diego Costa 2, Willian 2, Azpilicueta 1, Cahill 1, Falcao 1, Matic 1, Oscar 1, Pedro 1, Ramires 1, Zouma 1.
    -Liverpool have not lost since September 12

    Liklihood of Jose Mourinho blaming the referee for Chelsea's performance
    High. Always high.

    Liklihood of Zouma playing right back
    Alarming

    Liklihood of Fabregas starting

    Beer pairing
    Liverpool has a new German manager and I was at a German beer hall recently and drank too much dunkel. Dunkel is a really tasty dark lager, but low in alcohol, so you're going to need to stein up if you want Ramires' touch or Fabregas' passing to look halfway decent. Spaten Dunkel is a solid choice, but Americans make the best beer, so give these a try.

    I want to win so badly on Sat, but deep in my heart I know (think) we will lose. We might draw, but that's all we can hope with our current form. If we win, I'll be freaking over the moon.

    I think Costa will say he's fit and Jose will start him. Then, 20 minutes in, we'll have to sub him out because he's still hurt. There goes sub 1.

    Pedro won't play.

    I think Jose liked what he saw against Stoke, so here's what we'll probably see.

    -----Begovic----

    CESC ALL UP IN THIS SHIT

    ---Costa----

    Outside of the Ramires goal, very little has been done.

    Because it's Clattenberg. He doesn't have much love for us. That was the second rash challenge on Willian by Can that deserved a card.

    Agree there. Unbelievable that a rash kickout doesn't warrant a yellow and then a shitty challenge.

    still dont understand why the whistle isnt blown when the liverpool player is all by himself in the center circle 30 seconds prior to the goal... that was already past time, and then checked his watch?

    Seriously. That is a yellow. And when he [Can] does it again in the second half he should be sent off and now he won't be. . .wtf

    And Milner grabbed Oscar around the waist and threw him on the ground. . .wtf? Er, Ref? that is also a yellow

    and the first half was over - the clock had reached the 47 minute mark . . .and wtf they score an equalizer :(

    games are won in the second half.

    Hazard needs to get more involved.

    We need a better option on the wing than Oscar - switch Oscar and Hazard OR bring on Kenedy for Oscar - or take off Ramires move Oscar in the middle and bring on Kenedy

    I think a wide player will have some great success against the liverpool full backs.

    we neeed all players to play with the speed and passion of Willian :)

    ..... Two unstoppable shots. Just the teams luck this year. Doing some good work, going for winner, creating some chances, sucker punch goals.

    I'm not seeing a terrible team that isn't playing with passion. I'm seeing a team that is still having terrible luck.

    Perhaps until that benteke goal.

    Dear Jose,
    Thank you for the trophies but you simply must go. Regardless of the chaos off the pitch (most of which is your creation) the door is that way. Good luck in your next endeavor.

    Ancelotti? Sweet another manager who didn't last the Roman ax. This is a shitty situation to be in.

    Id perfer selling fab in the jan window then firing jose. Really think Fab is the worst player on the field every time he plays. Then again...if the manager isnt competent enough to recognize that then its difficult to back him
