PREMIER LEAGUE As it happened: Chelsea vs Liverpool delivers uninspiring stalemate at Stamford Bridge

David Ben 19:39 - 04.04.2023

Chelsea and Liverpool were forced to share the spoils at Stamford Bridge following an underwhelming encounter in the Premier League.

  • CHELSEA 0-0 LIVERPOOL: #PL FULL TIME THOUGHTS
  • Chelsea once again have shown that they still have problems putting the ball in the back of the net as they remain in 11th on the Premier League table. #CHELIV
  • The only positive for the Blues though is the return of Ngolo Kante who was massive against Liverpool tonight. #CHELIV
  • Tonight also clearly the best midfield combination with Kante - Enzo - Kovacic. #CHELIV
  • Kai Havertz needs serious competition in attack following his wasteful finishing in front of goal. #CHELIV
  • For Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool have serious issues with their midfield but need to make up for their deficiencies in the middle of the park by converting their chances in attack. #CHELIV
  • The result today, puts Liverpool's Champions League hopes in further doubt, although, mathematically it is still possible for the Reds to make top four. Whether they would eventually, remains to be seen though. #CHELIV
  • Klopp: “Super attitude. Super mentality. That’s what I saw.” #CHELIV
  • Klopp: “I would not be the manager if I had a couple of these seasons. We have to get through it. You have to fight to change your fortunes.” #CHELIV
  • Jurgen Klopp: “We struggled with the last line in the beginning. The balls in behind were tricky but then we recovered well. We got better into the game. The midfield was well connected and we had our opportunities up front.”  #CHELIV
Jurgen Klopp
  • Jurgen Klopp on Chelsea draw: "I did not expect a team with six changes to play the best game of the season."  #CHELIV
  • Bruno Saltor: "N’Golo Kante is incredible. His performances are good. He’s a leader with his performances." #CHELIV
Ngolo Kante was impressive for Chelsea against Liverpool

  • Bruno Saltor on Liverpool draw: "We created enough chances to win the game. It's execution. The chances, the boys gave everything, they gave their heart and you can't ask for more." #CHELIV
     
  • Bruno Saltor: "We left Liverpool without anything [up front]. They put their bodies on the line, I'm really happy with back three. We had players on Ramadan, some back from injury." #CHELIV
  • Bruno Saltor: "We created chances. We scored, offside. It will come to the boys because they deserve it."  #CHELIV
     
  • Bruno Saltor: "It’s been hard, we are very close friends [with Graham Potter]. It's difficult to stand here without him but I’m trying my best." #CHELIV
