Summary

Liverpool crashed to defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and The Anfield Wrap in association with Redsbet are picking the bones out of that result and the wider knock on effects for Champions League qualification this season and beyond. In the end the game was decided by the only goal but Chelsea were able to keep Liverpool at bay. The Reds couldn't make their midfield break the lines and found themselves toiling. The context is everywhere - Liverpool were back from Rome while Chelsea had the week to prepare but Liverpool were thwarted on the pitch. The result also emphasised weakenesses in Liverpool's squad at every level and we have a conversation about Liverpool's likely transfer plans. The we is Melissa Reddy, Adam Smith, Philippa Smallwood and Stuart Wright, hosted by Neil Atkinson. The Anfield Wrap is supported by Redsbet, click here to set up an account.
