Or maybe he was afraid that kabak might miss the ball and he(Allison) doesn't want to risk one on one

Cos the place is too far for a goalkeeper's liking, esp wen it's not a counter catching the defence off guard
Yes. Exactly.

It will be better for him to come out and clear the ball rather than be in a 1 v 1 situation.

We have seen countless situations where defenders shade whoever is behind them to allow their keepers make a clearance.

In this case, Kabak doesn't have to shade anybody. Just allow your keeper make the clearance. I will only blame Alisson if he didn't communicate Kabak.

Please don’t be like Raumdeuter, this excuse you’re giving is comical. Liverpool definitely miss their best CB, there’s really no need to do Agidi about that fact.
Was anything I said there incorrect?

Who should we blame for that 2nd goal conceded by Liverpool? grin grin grin
Kabak.

Who was in charge in Aston Villa 7-2 Liverpool?

Look at the ball. Look at where Kabak is clearing.

Watching the clip, I'll blame Allison.
I just feel Allison doesn't trust kabak enough for him(Allison) to make that stupid decision
Valid point.

I can argue that if that was Henderson, he will allow Alisson to make that clearance.

For Alisson to have committed himself coming out that far, he must have calculated the risk and was confident of clearing that ball.

I am recording the number of matches Liverpool have lost without VVD. When the time comes i will serve you your report card. grin
Wetin concern me with Liverpool scores.

Liverpool conceded 7 goals with VVD and without Alisson. If Alisson was in that match, they will NEVER concede 7.

Liverpool lose, I'm happy as a Chelsea fan. But one thing I assure you is, Liverpool cannot concede 7 goals with Alisson between the stick.

Even Dayo is nowhere to be found because it was shameful. But you won't stop defending poor players/performances.
7/10

Thats how Rudiger scored 7/10 even with own goal. You don't overlook a player's entire game because of one mistake.

I still believe Alisson didn't have to come out. First off, Kabak had his eyes in the ball so he couldn't have seen Alisson. Secondly, he looked like he would've cleared the ball.

Thank you for this video. I don't know how to post videos here. I have been watching it over and over in YouTube.

The only blame I will have for Alisson is if he didn't communicate Kabak.

If he did, the entire blame is on Kabak. Did you see that Kabak curved his run at the last second just to meet up with his clearance. But Alisson was coming straight to clear the ball. That incident happened just in front of the penalty area so don't tell me Alisson came out too much. It's within areas keepers usually come out to make clearances.

Since you've started defending Alisson (like VVD cheesy) . . . . we will.leave this to oga at the top aka Airmark to respond.
grin

I'm not even saying this based on my banter with Airmark. I have my reply ready for him cheesy

Seriously, this is not Alisson's fault. The only area I will fault him is if he didn't communicate Kabak that he is coming to clear.

Clear communication error. Allison didn't have to come out and once he decided to step out should have let his player know.
No way Kabak would have seen him.
Exactly at the bolded. I can't say if Alisson indicated he is on his way out but what I'm very sure is that Kabak wouldnt have cleared that ball very well.

And he was facing Alisson. He should have seen his keeper coming out.

Valid points and I tend to agree.
Pretty sure Thiago was happy match is over. cheesy

Likely depends more on the player if he wants to leave for Chelsea.
He is very calm on the ball. I will take him over Jogging-ho. That's for sure.
Generally Chelsea is an upgrade to Leicester. Though present for might suggest otherwise. But I believe most players will jump on the opportunity of joining Chelsea from Leicester.

Thiago cheesy.... I'm sure he won't look forward to play against Ndidi anytime soon.

Alisson didn't have to come out TBH. Kabak looked like he had that covered to me.
No no no.

Watch it again. It was a floated pass that was going over Kabak and TOWARDS Alisson. Look at the direction the ball was travelling and look at Kabak's attempted clearance, you will see that Alisson was in the best position to deal with that ball.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by timbros(m): 3:38pm On Feb 13, 2021
Seriously guys, are you blaming Alisson for that goal? shocked

Kabak saw him coming to clear the ball, WHY DID HE GO FOR THE BALL ALSO?! Who is in the right position to clear that ball?

Barnes (abi Maddison) was lurking in Kabak's left who is facing his goal. The best clearance Kabak can do is corner kick. Alisson was in the best position to clear that ball towards the opposition half. Why did Kabak still went for the ball?

Alisson was not at fault for the goal.

Ndidi Definitely MOTM. Bossed the game for 95 mins.

We got Kante from them so not sure they will allow Ndidi leave but then the pressure of playing for Chelsea is different. Will he be able to perform like this?
The way he calmly steals the ball from you and wriggle out from tight corners is just glorious to watch!

We have been doing business with Leicester lately {Kante, Chilwell). We can get Ndidi if the board REALLY wants him.

How many titles did bvb, Leipzig etc win or have between last 15 years to make them rivals
Just because they are in the same league doesn't mean they are in same class. Bayern and only Bayern rules burnthisleaguedown
It's like saying arsenal and Leicester are rivals to city or Liverpool cos they are past winners of EPL grin
Those teams are the closest of what we can call rivals. And over the years, BVB especially have produced talents that, if they were able to keep together, will give Bayern a run for their money season in season out. But they couldn't do that because Bayern always poach them and weaken them.

Look at Lewandowski and his numbers. BVB would have benefitted from at least one third of those Lewandowski's numbers. But who have enjoyed Lewandowski more? Bayern of course.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by timbros(m): 6:59am On Feb 13, 2021
Raumdeuter you are just comparing apple with orange.

Bayern is signing players from direct rivals in the same league, thereby weakening them. It is different from a club abroad coming in to sign players in Bundesliga. Bayern signed Sane, Boateng, Gnabry etc from premiership. Man City and Arsenal are not Bayern's direct rival so its no problem.

For a league to be competitive, you need the best players to be spread evenly (well almost evenly) across the title contenders. But when one club have the power to pick these best players from the other title contenders, there is usually only one outcome at the end of the season.

Bayern picking the best players from BVB, Leipzig etc is just like Man City picking the best players from Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd etc (which is not possible).

Fact is Bayern will always win Bundesliga until BVB and the rest teams can have their own best players and be able to retain them.

If BVB was able to keep Lewandowski, don't you think they wouldn't have won at least one Bundesliga since his sale?

Yea maybe. But unfortunately, I don't follow popular opinions.

I watch both players and I prefer Maddison's style of play. More direct and bundle of energy. I prefer him. That is not to downplay Grealish though.

You flopped terribly in this argument.

VVD never flopped terribly like you and Alisson. 3.7/10 grin
Exit strategy.

When a building collapses, the blame naturally goes to the contractor, not the masons or carpenters that did the manual jobs. Why? Because the contractor is the leader. He points and instructs and the workers obey.

Once the building collapses (7 goals conceded) we blame the contractor (VVD) because he terribly flopped in organising and leading the masons, carpenters etc (other defenders).

raumdeuter:
VVD is only responsible when others do the work and they keep clean sheets. Like when Allison was breaking record for saves made in a CL final and Matip was doing clearances while VVD was pointing
When things go well, VVD gets the praise. Why? Because of his leadership at the back.

But when things go south, everyone bar VVD gets the blame. Why? Because whoscored rated VVD above other defenders.

Hypocrisy of the highest order.
