    Smart by Tuchel, it's not the type of game Lukaku is decent in, but it's a big game - drop him to send a message, and play the team more suited to the game anyway.
    If you're van Dijk though would you rather mark Lukaku or whoever Chelsea will play there instead (Pulisic, Havertz etc)? I'm guessing he will be quite happy if Lukaku is missing.

    However i do agree with the stance Chelsea have made. In the past Chelsea have been a club who've definitely sided with players over managers so assuming that Tuchel has got the boards permission to omit a 100m striker, it can only be applauded.
    Honestly?  Lukaku.  Van Dijk is strong and quick, he negates Lukaku.  Havertz is more likely as a false 9 to drift around to try and pull Van Dijk out of position.
    I don't believe there's a single defender in the league who would rather play against Lukaku than Havertz.

    when a striker who in his career scores 1 in 2, and is called overrated, the world have gone mad

    I went mad years ago mate, but I'm not taking full responsibility for the world's madness just yet.
    In my opinion, Jota is a better striker than Lukaku.
    BTW, Jota scores 1 in 2 for Liverpool.

    Two very high quality goals in this Villa Brentford game.

    West London will be full of whingers and moaners today then.

    Christ that was embarrassing from Trezuget

    VAR can check that so why isn't the referee being told to book him!!

    Safe standing areas look good already, interesting that both tiers of the Shed have been done

    Mane should have got a red there.

    Klopp would have been going ballistic on the sidelines if Mane was on the end of that elbow. Bindipping twats would also demand a day of mourning.

    How can anyone defend the referees after this weekend. Has there been a single game that has been officiated well?

    Class from Salah. Nobody better than him at the moment.

    Headline tomorrow, Tuchel sacked after dropping £100m striker.
    If the game carries on like this, you may be right!

    Wonder if the Mane decision has saved Mount a little... Would have been a riot had he gone
