- CHELSEA 0-0 LIVERPOOL: #PL FULL TIME THOUGHTS
- Chelsea once again have shown that they still have problems putting the ball in the back of the net as they remain in 11th on the Premier League table. #CHELIV
- The only positive for the Blues though is the return of Ngolo Kante who was massive against Liverpool tonight. #CHELIV
- Tonight also clearly the best midfield combination with Kante - Enzo - Kovacic. #CHELIV
- Kai Havertz needs serious competition in attack following his wasteful finishing in front of goal. #CHELIV
- For Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool have serious issues with their midfield but need to make up for their deficiencies in the middle of the park by converting their chances in attack. #CHELIV
- The result today, puts Liverpool's Champions League hopes in further doubt, although, mathematically it is still possible for the Reds to make top four. Whether they would eventually, remains to be seen though. #CHELIV
- Klopp: “Super attitude. Super mentality. That’s what I saw.” #CHELIV
- Klopp: “I would not be the manager if I had a couple of these seasons. We have to get through it. You have to fight to change your fortunes.” #CHELIV
- Jurgen Klopp: “We struggled with the last line in the beginning. The balls in behind were tricky but then we recovered well. We got better into the game. The midfield was well connected and we had our opportunities up front.” #CHELIV
- Jurgen Klopp on Chelsea draw: "I did not expect a team with six changes to play the best game of the season." #CHELIV
- Bruno Saltor: "N’Golo Kante is incredible. His performances are good. He’s a leader with his performances." #CHELIV
- Bruno Saltor on Liverpool draw: "We created enough chances to win the game. It's execution. The chances, the boys gave everything, they gave their heart and you can't ask for more." #CHELIV
- Bruno Saltor: "We left Liverpool without anything [up front]. They put their bodies on the line, I'm really happy with back three. We had players on Ramadan, some back from injury." #CHELIV
- Bruno Saltor: "We created chances. We scored, offside. It will come to the boys because they deserve it." #CHELIV
- Bruno Saltor: "It’s been hard, we are very close friends [with Graham Potter]. It's difficult to stand here without him but I’m trying my best." #CHELIV
- Chelsea Interim coach Bruno Saltor on Liverpool draw: "After what happened on Sunday, yesterday we had a recovery session. I tried to spend time with the players and talk to them. I thought they gave everything." #CHELIV

29 - Chelsea have scored 29 goals in 29 Premier League games this season, only ever netting fewer at this stage of a league campaign twice before (23 in 1921-22 and 16 in 1923-24). Lacking. pic.twitter.com/4ny4Wgimlc

If you were watching football for the first time you would struggle to believe this is N'Golo Kanté’s first start in 230 days. Incredible engine in the Chelsea midfield tonight. pic.twitter.com/vsgdPkDNJn

Kante hasn’t started a game in 7 months and he’s already been one of the best players on the pitch, and he was fasting 😭
— Mod (@CFCMod_) April 4, 2023
Considering Kante was out for so long and he was also fasting today, he was brilliant. World class baller.

Chelsea's lawyers must be at Kante's doorstep tomorrow with new contract.

— Ben Jacobs (@JacobsBen) April 4, 2023
- 29' CHANCE! Chelsea: Kai Havertz has no right not to hit the target there. Just woeful finishing really as he blazes his effort wide in a 1v1 situation against Alisson. Still 0-0. #CHELIV
Reece has a goal disallowed for offside by VAR. Keep at it, lads! 💪
— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) April 4, 2023
- 25' 0-0: GOAL CANCELLED! Chelsea thought they had scored after Reece James fired home. But Enzo Fernandez is slightly offside. Very tight call. The Blues' celebrations are cut short. #CHELIV
Klopp raging with Joel Matip over the chasms of space that were left for Fernandez down the Liverpool right. Konate the next one to get a talking to. It's pretty easy to see why he's so unhappy.
— James Benge (@jamesbenge) April 4, 2023
