Opta's stats say that for the first time in a game this season in the Premier League, Chelsea outraned their opponent. So in this game, Chelsea covered 103.6 kilometres according to Opta. Lippewil covered 102.9. Like I say, that was Chelsea's 36th Premier League game of the season. It's the first time that they've worked outran the teams. And again, there are loads of caveats, the running stat. They're not always the be-all and end-all. sometimes you can run more because you're chasing the ball

or you get people. time that they've worked outran the teams and again there are loads of caviast they're not always the be all and end all sometimes you can run more because you're chasing the ball we didn't have versy normally runs like 11 kilometres a game that's you know you're replacing him with people who don't run anything like that i think ian again whether it's a fitness issue whether it's a coaching issue whatever you can't even say Leopold went running

because they were keeping all to the board and they were popping it round because for half the game they couldn't get a kick of it I think well I know because I've seen the replies and the comments do this again stats are always at all made a good point the other day stats are like a bikini they show you what you sometimes want to see and they don't show you and everything you want to see at time,

so I understand that one.

But just looking at a team

who I've never ran more than their opponents before. stats like a bikini they show you what you sometimes want to see and they don't show you at everything you want to see at times so I understand that one but just looking at a team

who I was never ran more than their opponents for 36 games

or in 35 previous games then outrun your team

that does not bowl well of these Liverpool players

their conditioning their coaching whatever it is a bit of a bad luck there

this is a team that haven't won in six games before they came to us.

It's a team that haven't had a break all summer because they played in the World Club Championships. So if anybody should be knackered, it should be then. They're the ones who should be struggling. It shouldn't be us. Also, though, you can sometimes, you can, it's not about how how you run it's how smart you run and the runs you make

Liverpool aren't even making the not even making the smart runs right now we don't even hit people on the break we don't have that ability anymore we don't have the pace we don't have the Nouse and the one time we did do we messed it up with Gakpo being played in by Ingamower and overrunning the ball or whatever what worries me is there's a lot of people to think that bringing in two fast wingers is going to solve everything that is not going to happen and we've got the midfield we couldn't have because they won't be able to cope with wingers leaving them bare they won't be able to cope I don't see how we can survive with that midfield next season we've got to find someone to hold the whole the team together someone athletic in there we need we need we need one we need one good winger I suppose John as well it's worth mention we touched the one before but I touched a couple of times when Mamma Dashville gets the ball at the end of the game and Liverpool players just walking out

and again I don't know if that's a desire thing

their heads have gone they're just absolutely shattered I don't know what these what it is but that is not like Liverpool that is not what that you know we talked it a lot and it gets criticised it's a bit cheesy it should be desperate to get the ball up the other end to try and win the game and they're all just strolling out

like they're coming back from the beach.

This again is a reflection of the manager

because for me like I said there's only

mollison there's only nigh only they don't but if you want to win a game you throw it get some of type of one you've got legs haven't they those guys it's worth mentioning and I go back I was, like this intensity is our identity thing, and I know we've got a lot of criticism at times, but it was the identity of Liverpool for a long time. And again, when you change your head coach, the identity of your football club can change, and that is what's always going to happen. To ask anyone to be another year I can copp, it's not fair on anyone anyone because no one will be another year and clotping, but it's hard.

I think it's really difficult to get your head around the fact that we really want to win this home game. Liverpool should never settle for a point against anyone at home ever. Unless it's like, you know, unless you're miles ahead in the league or you're winning on aggregate and you just need to see it out. very rarely as a point to good results at the infield it very very rarely is and when I go to

get the ball and then I'll have or you're winning on aggregate and you just need to see it out. Very rarely as a point to good results at the infield.

It very, very rarely is.
