LOL. Think on what you're actually saying. Pepe ... playing.
Race for 4th spot.

They play more like the old Ajax team to me, switching play, pace out wide, deadly finishes.
Definitely not like Pep, otherwise I would have raked my own eyes out by now.

Looks like it will become more boring here.
Reasonably good first half. We've let them have a lot of the ball but thankfully they don't look particularly interested in doing anything with it. Should be able to see out the game from here without much difficulty, but I wouldn't mind another goal shortly after half-time. Sterling and Allen have been excellent.

Not exactly a textbook example of how to consolidate a 2-goal lead. Been beter since Sterling's been getting on the ball again, there was a good 25 minutes where we just couldn't get a move going. Need to stop giving silly free kicks away, shame the ref didn't play advantage for Snodgrass' booking, Sterling had gone Super Saiyan on the touchline and looked like we were 2-on-1. Would like to see refs the league over let play develop for a few seconds in those situations
Allen's done very well, Lucas was beast for those first 20 minutes or so

Chelsea is a team full of players that lack balls. Teams like the ones mentioned knows exactly what they had to do against Chelsea, stand back and close down everything, going in hard but fair in every challenge. Then counter attack as Chelsea stands with all their players way too high up. Matic is a step in the right direction, a player not afraid to get in and take every single fight he has to, but then we got players like Oscar who pussies out of every challenge and has been in a huge drop of form, Salah who has a few moments of brilliance just to be utter shit, no forward with any target man qualities (well one in Ba, but he's rather shit), making it impossible to cross the ball in and just hope for something... Even if Chelsea did Azpilicueta is playing on the wrong side though making that rather hard and Ivans crosses are just... Bad.
Not to of course forget just down right thick players like Ramires, who ruins every single counter attack, is constantly lucky not to be sent off and can't pass or shoot, all he fucking does is run around like a headless chicken, which is a good thing at times tbh (like 2012 CL), but most of the time when Chelsea has to dominate a match it just ruins the flow of the game and makes everyone up from stand still, as he takes 10 seconds to pass to someone.
Luis Alberto's Premier League medal campaign lives on.
It's a shame he hasn't featured more - Rodgers must be unimpressed with his workrate (I can't think why else he hasn't played much).

norwich will get tired, especially if they don't see a goal soon
they havent really tested mingolet despite the sustained pressure, one more goal will kill them off

He's fairly slow, which is something that doesn't really fit with what we're doing right now.
He has his uses though. He's great at holding up the ball, a fantastic player at seeing out a game.

Expect a second half goal from Norwich to put them back in the game. The first minutes of the second half are never Liverpool's.

Fair point. He may well be useful today to regain control of the midfield then, especially if we score again shortly as you alluded to.
Oh my god

Actually laughed out loud at this.
Poor guy, hopefully he can get a premier league medal to pull in some very drunk girls.Can't believe that he's on 70k. The Guardian are saying that Arsenal and Spuds are interested. I don't think he's good enough for them.

he's a football millionaire.
he doesn't need a medal.
good Lord :/
I know is going to happen sooner or later, but I can't help but feel the current 'status' is just a way to fill the season with some pointless episodes. Very weak.
Moving on to England now,
it's a damn shame that Rooney is always going to be an automatic starter. I said it when we were good and I'll maintain it now Liverpool are good - take those core English players out of a Championship winning team and play them in the same bloody positions.
My preferable team for Brazil:
-------------- Sturridge --------------
Welbeck ---- Sterling ---- Ox-Chambo
------- Henderson - Gerrard --------
Baines --- Cahill -- Jones --- Johnson
----------------- Hart -----------------
Obviously it's not going to be that, but there we go.
Fuck can't believe I even bothered writing that up. I'm a mess.
it's all I have leave me alone
