Sadio Mane scored two goals against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. It was enough to secure three points for Liverpool. Chelsea are sloppy, careless with ball, without the ball they are simply powerless. It is too easy to break Chelsea defense. It is still early days, however it seems The Blues are not able to challenge for the title this year, massive progress would have to be made to change that. It won’t happen overnight. It is a bit disappointing. Chelsea were among championship contenders not long time ago, but they seem to be in transition period. Timo Werner, who joined the club recently, played well, others failed.
Liverpool players got the job done. They were cautious bit on the first half, but they kept up with the good work. Christensen has been sent off due to his challenge. Afterwards Liverpool executed perfectly their tactics and Mane scored two goals. Header and his persistence without the ball have given Liverpool three well deserved points. Sadio Mane is probably the best player in England right now. His persistence pays off. Over last two years, he has been effective, scoring goals and creating goal scoring opportunities to others. I am impressed and I wish him well. Credit to him and hard work he is doing for the club.
Liverpool are force to be reckoned with. They are attacking this title, like Jurgen Klopp said some time ago. There is still room for improvement however. If you compare Liverpool to Bayern for example, you can easily spot the team from Munich is far better without the ball, closing the opposition quicker and making interceptions, which lead to goal scoring chances.
Liverpool could be only challenged by Manchester City. It will be great season of Premier League. Sadly, without fans, who are missed.
