2023-04-04T22:07:27.209Z


TOPS / FLOPS - João Félix ray of sunshine of a very average match, the return of Kanté against the lack of ambition of the Reds, discover the tops and flops of Chelsea - Liverpool.


TOPS

João Félix, the technical touch

Chelsea didn't make it.

And yet the Portuguese has not stopped leading the defense of the Reds by the nose, thanks to his dribbling, his changes of direction and his inspirations of genius.

His lack of efficiency remains a problem all the same for him, who has scored only twice since his arrival in the winter transfer window in London.

By continuing at this pace, there is no doubt that he will regain his confidence.

The technical touch that characterizes it so well is not gone.

N'Golo Kanté reassuring return

Eight months since we had not seen N'Golo Kanté in the Premier League with the Chelsea jersey.

This Tuesday evening against Liverpool, we had the pleasure of finding the tireless and recuperative midfielder that we know well.

The French international played 68 minutes at a good level, including eight balls recovered.

A good preparation session before Real Madrid next week.

Bruno Saltor

Not easy the week of Bruno Saltor.

The 42-year-old Spaniard learned like everyone else of Graham Potter's dismissal last Sunday after the 2-0 home defeat against Aston Villa.

Now interim coach of the Blues, Potter's former assistant had only two days to prepare for the reception of Liverpool as head coach, he who has never been.

However, his team did not lack desire in a meeting which they dominated.

Saltor brings back a point from this meeting, which was anything but obvious in the current crisis situation at Chelsea.

FLOPS

The attacking trio of the Reds

Difficult if not impossible to retain anything positive regarding the performances of Roberto Firmino, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nuñez this Tuesday evening.

Each replaced in the second period, the three Reds attackers gave Kepa and the Blues defense a peaceful evening.

The Reds have hit just three of their seven shots on target, thanks to Joe Gomez and Nuñez twice.

Firmino only shot once unlike Jota who will quickly be able to forget his performance.

Coming into play in the second period, Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo did no better, illustrating the total poverty of Liverpool's game during the game.

Chelsea's inefficiency

How can you hope to win a Premier League match without a quality finisher?

This is the question that Chelsea have been asking themselves since the start of the season and it is not Kai Havertz who has the answer.

Stirring, the German created a few clear chances of course, but never hit the mark.

Yes, once.

In the 49th minute.

Until Mr. Taylor refused his goal, finally scored with an elbow.

Havertz would probably have had his place in the tops if he had concluded a chance for the Blues giving the victory to his team.

Unfortunately for the former Leverkusen, it's yet another game without scoring, he who has only shaken the net 7 times in 28 games this season in the league.

His partners did not hit the mark either, yet the opportunities to win did not
