I've just watched tonight's highlights back and here are some thoughts:
Liverpool's 1st is sloppy from us but a great strike.

Liverpool's 2nd is a great free-kick from Alexander-Arnold but Kepa's positioning has to be better, he's too far to the left and gives himself no chance to get across. By the time he's adjusted, it's in the back of the net.
Liverpool's 3rd goal is the story of the season. Poor marking, poor clearance, all-round poor defending from a set-piece. The players are half asleep for the second ball. Again.

If Liverpool don't score, it's likely a Penalty.
Liverpool's 4th is an unbelievable ball in by Alexander-Arnold but our defending has to be better.

The positioning is poor, it's so disjointed. If they're organised, Rudiger would slot in, he or Zouma could potentially head it clear and Azpilicueta wouldn't be scrambling.
Chelsea's 2nd is magical from Pulisic. Incredible run, a perfectly timed and weighted pass.

It's absolutely criminal that he didn't start the game. The amount of space throughout, especially while Liverpool were sleeping and we dominated possession during the 1st half.
Chelsea's 3rd goal. Again, highlighting why Pulisic should've started the game.

A great take by Hudson-Odoi and an even better ball into Pulisic, top class. I thought the extra touches from Pulisic were unnecessary but what confidence/composure and what a finish.
Fair play to Tammy Abraham for Liverpool's 5th goal. He's received a lot of criticism lately and rightly so, but he absolutely busts a gut to get back.
Marcos Alonso has to do better for Liverpool's 5th goal.

He does the hard part and gets back, but reaches the edge of the box and switches off thinking the jobs done. He's running parallel to Oxlade-Chamberlain and doesn't spot the danger. How?? When he realises, it's too late.
I think Lampard got key decisions wrong again tonight and apart from one or two, we were poor and punished for it.

We can't play like that against Wolves or there exact same will happen. They will be massively up for it as they've got it all to play for, too.
I can't honestly believe after everything, that we're in the position AGAIN. "Hazard and a Transfer Ban" is not good enough, at all. We should've been out of sight long ago, we should've secured CL long ago. Everything rests on the final day. Massive.

No excuses.
I forgot but for Liverpool's 5th, again I think Kepa's positioning should be better.

Also, he usually would so I'm not sure why he didn't, but Jorginho should wipe Robertson out as he skips past him.
