2) Another excellent Chelsea defensive performance…
While it’s easy to say that Chelsea’s tactics were defensive, the brilliant individual performances have to be mentioned as well.
Debutant Tomas Kalas was faultless. Ashley Cole, who hadn’t started since January in the top flight, dealt with Coutinho superbly. Jon Obi Mikel and the ageing Frank Lampard were meticulous in the middle of the park, letting Liverpool have possession, but never letting them get in dangerous spaces.
Chelsea need big credit for keeping Liverpool shut out at Anfield for only the second time this season.
