Mkuu huyu Jota ni bench wormer pale Wolves, sijui klopp kaona nini kwake enewei subiri tuone yasije kuwa ya minamino

Pale mimi naona tumepigwa wazi wazi ..hata huyu Thiago ligi itamshinda tu

Kwa dakika 45 tu alizocheza Thiago kapiga pasi nyingi kuliko kikosi kizima cha Chelsea
Vipi ligi itamshinda??
 
Liverpool players rating vs Chelsea
Alisson - 8
Penalty save was comfortable but give credit for the diligence from the Liverpool goalkeeper who had been a spectator for the preceding 75 minutes. Decent stop from Tammy Abraham later on too.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - 6
More of an attacker than a defender as Liverpool dominated possession. Set-piece delivery was a little sub-par and one of the very few blemishes in Liverpool's display.

Fabinho - 8
Out of position but still in his element. Won all of his one-on-one duels with Werner as he successfully stood in for the injured Matip and Joe Gomez - is Fabinho about to become the new Fernandinho? This might be a position he occupies regularly this season.

Virgil van Dijk - 7
Utterly unfazed by Chelsea's refusal to play with a conventional centre-forward and took the opportunity instead to step out of defence with real elegance.

Andy Robertson - 7
As with Alexander-Arnold, spent far more time in Chelsea's territory than Liverpool's own and volleyed over a half-chance to break the deadlock prior to Christensen's dismissal. Meanwhile, the 'see you' moment given to Jorginho as Liverpool stepped up a gear will presumably appear as a social media meme very soon.

Naby Keita - 5
Still too quiet. Much like against Leeds, didn't take the opportunity to impress and had already faded towards the periphery prior to his understandable withdrawal after 60 minutes.

Jordan Henderson - 6
Stunning pass from deep prompted the game's pivotal moment - Christensen's dismissal. But that was to be the Liverpool's captain's last contribution with Henderson replaced at the interval due to injury.

Georginio Wijnaldum - 8
Switched to the right-hand side of midfield following Liverpool's second-half rejig and, with the handbrake off, regularly drove into Chelsea's box, forcing a good save from Kepa to keep the score reasonably respectable. His versatility shouldn't be underestimated - it certainly isn't by Jurgen Klopp.

Mo Salah - 6
After hitting the heights against Leeds, this was Mo on mute. But, as written a week ago, 'the great thing about Liverpool's 'fab three' is that when one fails to fire, at least one of their other two big guns almost always does'. What applied last Saturday night to Mane can be transferred without a semblance of concern to Salah this week.

Sadio Mane - 9
Chelsea's collective and individual nemesis. Speed on the break was Christensen's undoing, then caught out Reece James to provide the emphatic header for Liverpool's breakthrough, before showing up the hapless Kepa to double the visitors' lead. Hunger and desire was exceptional.

Firmino - 7
Lovely combination work with Salah in the build-up to Mane's first goal was capped by the deft cross. Remains an essential cog in the phenomenal Liverpool machine.

Thiago - 6
Cruised through the second-half but guilty of a clumsy foul on Werner to concede Chelsea's penalty. Still, as Jamie Carragher put it during commentary: "There's no doubt Thiago gives Liverpool something different. He will play passes that the other midfielders won't see."

James Milner - 6
On for the final 30 minutes as Keita's replacement and was predictably industrious.

Takumi Minamino - N/A
