We have not conceded a goal or a loss this season in the primiership. I read in the news that Chelsea is more to not conceding than winning a match. They want to maintain clean sheet.
Liverpool has been feeling happy for not conceding a goal too. But unlike Chelsea Liverpool are not scoring nor winning.
Maintaining clean sheet alone does not ensure a Championship place next season. And for sure it will not going to surrender the Primiership title to us back. It's the goal we score that counts. Its the win that matters.
We cannot be happy for earning 1 point and maintaining cleansheet. What do we want this season.? A championship place? Top 3? or Top 1? What is our target? Perharphs if there is a trophy for not conceding then we might go for it by playing a defensive kind of match.
Last year no doubt Chelsea lost only 1 match. This year they are trying to break Arsenal's record. They can do whatever they want to. I dont even care if they want to draw all matches.
Whereas Arsenal in continuing their record and eventualy conceding losses did score a huge number of goals more than Chelsea. Like wise they did accept more goals. Their win over other teams were like 3-2, 4-2, 4-1 and so. Chelsea 's win was only 1-0 and 2-1 or likewise.
Last season's table
GP W D L GS GA
1. Chelsea 38 29 8 1 72 15
2. Arsenal 38 25 8 5 87 36
3 Man Utd 38 22 11 5 58 26

Chelsea wants record. They want to win in style. They dont want to let in goals. They choose to win in small margin. They feel 3 points is enough. Why trouble of scoring more than 1 and risking letting in goals. Obviously they scored 4 goals against weeker teams (no offence) but not against the rest.
I remember that once Liverpool's win over other teams were always talk of the town. The win was also in style. The goals were 3, 4, 5. Liverpool and even Man U for that matter had been previously trashed by 6 goals 7 goals.
Liverpool this year has not conceded. Are we following Chelsea's track. Is there a trophy for not conceding a loss/ a goal? Are going for it?.
Rafa has said that the goals will come. I believe in that. Look at Newcastle. They've started to score. Sherer broke the spell. Owen followed.
But the way our game is going I reckon even if there is a goal it will be 1-0, or 2-1 and the most 3-1. I want o see Liverpool trash Chelsea 5-0. What we cant do it? We can if we play an attacking game. Play our strikers properly. We have strikers with records. Midfielders of international recognitions. Good Defenders and best Goal Keeper in Spain
Isnt this enough to beat Chelsea. How long should we wait to built a strong team. Charlton did well within 1 transfer window. How long do we need?
IMO we have what we need but the players lack creativity. If the players think and play they can do it. Gerrard in particular. He used to be a very temperemental player. Now he is thinking wise. He create chances. He improved his game with lots and lots of creativity. Ciise and Crouch too must use their head.
Garcia has the skills but no brains. If he continues to run and shoot like in Man U game, even if he plays with the best teams in the World (In fact Liverpool is the best team in the world, We are European Champions. Champion among the best team in Europe) Garcia will bring the team down.
We must start winning in Liverpool style. We should not be worried about not conceding a goal. That's not practicle. But winning is practicle. Scoring is possible. So score and win. Let Chelsea day dream.
