Big ups to chelsea for fighting back and almost winning the game!
However,if not for the two red cards to ajax players,which had a significant impact on the game and actually gave chelsea the advantage,the blues would have been massacred by Ajax!
Hopefully,Lampard will look at correcting the obvious defensive flaws because a better and matured team would have dealt with chelsea!

The Reds will be fighting on two fronts across two continents in December in a novel solution to their fixture pile-up prior to the Christmas period.

Liverpool have confirmed that they will play both their Carabao Cup quarter-final clash at Aston Villa and their Club World Cup semi-final clash in Qatar within the space of a day - by using two squads.

Having been drawn against Villa, the Reds were expected to take to the field against their fellow Premier League side in the week commencing December 16, the same time they are in Qatar for Club World Cup duties.

Manager Jurgen Klopp recently claimed that he would need his entire squad for the club's Middle East excursion, stating at a press conference: “We cannot leave any players at home for the Carabao Cup.


“It's not that we can go there with 11 players and say they play the two games in Qatar and the other guys play in England against Aston Villa. It doesn't work like that.”

Now, however, the club have announced their intention to play both matches with two different teams, which is likely to mean that the Premier League leaders will send a second-string side to Villa Park, consisting mainly of youth-team players.

A statement on the club's official website reads: "Liverpool Football Club can confirm our Carabao Cup quarter-final tie at Aston Villa will take place on Tuesday December 17, 2019.

"As a result, we will be utilising two playing squads simultaneously, with one squad participating in the FIFA Club World Cup in Qatar and another in the Carabao Cup.

"The club would like to take this opportunity to underline that while this is not an ideal scenario, it is an outcome which was arrived at with the best interests of the competition, our fellow clubs and ourselves as the sole motivating factor.

"We would like to thank the EFL for their efforts to accommodate us and we can confirm alternative dates were discussed, but ultimately none were considered suitable without compromising the scheduling of the competition itself or placing an undue strain on our playing staff."

The EFL released a statement of their own, which reads: "The Carabao Cup quarter-final tie between Aston Villa and Liverpool has been confirmed for Tuesday 17 December (7.45pm kick-off) as originally scheduled.

"The EFL has been engaged in discussions with Liverpool for a number of months regarding the possibility of needing to find a suitable date for the club to meet its commitments to the Carabao Cup, as well as the FIFA Club World Cup.

"Having considered all possible scenarios, the EFL has now accepted a request from the club to play the fixture on the scheduled date, during the designated week for the quarter-finals in the domestic fixture calendar, with Liverpool committing to fielding a team that is largely consistent with those that have participated in earlier rounds of this season’s competition.

"The players selected on the teamsheet must meet the competition’s selection requirements, which are outlined in the competition’s rules with, Regulation 6.5 stating: 'Each club shall play its full available strength in and during all cup competition matches, unless some satisfactory reason is given'."

Overrated kanu

Overrated? Are you sure such can be used to describe kanu? Did you watch the Ajax of 95,96? Maybe that will change your mind about your narrative of Kanu!

CoolAmbience:
Who be Watord again sef?
Is he different from Sylvain Wiltord?

Its the same player that he is referring to

Jokerman:
Henry was just a premiership champion until Barca changed his fortunes

Thank God for Cristiano Ronaldo that paved the way for EPL players in Europe

That's not true!
English man Mark Mcmanaman was at Liverpool before he left for Real Madrid...that was before when ronaldo was still a teen in the academy of sporting lisbon!
There are so many players who left EPL to other leagues even before ronaldo ever dreamt of coming to Manchester united from Lisbon!

abumeinben:
The power of feedback... The one thing most Nigerian-owned one man businesses don't know about.

True!

This is to those lilly livered fans!
If you know you started supporting Liverpool after they lifted the UCL,please find another club like man city or barca!
We don't need fans who are there when games are won or when things are going smoothly!
True Fans are those who stick by the team when the going is tough and never stop cheering!
Today,even rivals of Liverpool today confirmed that this team is made of steel!

This is how Liverpool will start bottling their 8points lead to man city

See them!
Waiting for others to fall so that they can be mocked!

thoollz:
I said it at the beginning when Liverpool were picking 3pts, it won't last for long. They're regular bottlers. They'll lose the title again. It's what they do best. I'm a Liverpool fan so I know what I'm saying.

I can emphatically say that You are not a Liverpool fan!
No TRUE and faithful Liverpool fan will make this statement of yours!
Now that Liverpool have won,what do you call them now? smh

aystunt:
I'm 100% sure this game was fixed.. Nigerians were intentionally wasteful...

From the first match against Hungary to the last,we were totally wasteful!
No coordination,no gameplan!
This defeat was coming but some over zealous folks blinded by patriotism(which to an extent is noble) refused to see the writing on the wall!

Realhommie:
Yea, I heard him.. Not just for the Nigerian team tho

Its worse for the nigerian team!
Our profligacy in front of goal is too obvious!
WE should be 4-5 goals up by now!
I know its the u-17
But one thing i have learnt is that if you cant score after several trials,pass the ball to a better placed player!

Come ohh is it that they dont even know how to pass?

Even the commentator acknowledges the selfishness of the team

2-1

Mumu team

Kai This olusegun is too selfish

hmmm...these Australian players are ballers ohh

That Australian 21 na baller ohh...
Just taking them out as if they are not there

Almost 2-0

Nothing has changed in this porous defence!
