When Koeman walked into Stamford Bridge with a slight frown, many people probably felt that the Reds boss was indeed upset by the fact that Alonso and Cabaye were not available.

However, the mental outlook of the Red Army generals was very good.

With his head held high, he walked into the arena with a fighting spirit in his eyes.

The soldiers of the red and blue armies began to shake hands before the game.

"Welcome to Stamford Bridge, where the final game of the 12th round of the Premier League will be played and a high-profile high-profile campaign.

Defending champions Liverpool travel to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea!

The Blues' form has been up and down in recent times, and it seems to be very worrying in the London civil war, the defeat to Queens Park Rangers has caused Villas-Boas to get into a lawsuit, the FA will not let go of his insults to referee Foy, the defeat to Arsenal on home soil is seen as a humiliating defeat, and immediately after the FIFA break, Chelsea welcome the defending champions Liverpool, the Blues and Chelsea do not seem to have time to adjust, Gary, what do you think about this? ”

Gary Neville, who officially retired from Manchester United at the end of last season, is now one of Sky Sports' commentators.

Gary Neville said calmly: "Chelsea has changed managers in the summer, not only new managers, but also new players, Villas-Boas wants to reform and build Chelsea into a team that meets the owner's wishes, or the team that Abou dreams of, we don't deny that Abu wants a team like Real Madrid and Barcelona!" Not only is the lineup luxurious, being able to win the championship, but also the team playing beautiful games!

When Mourinho was ousted, Chelsea could certainly use Mourinho's failure to overturn Arsenal's rule as a reason, but throughout Chelsea's Premier League points history, the season with the highest points was still created by Mourinho, and Mourinho, who finished second for two consecutive years, was just unlucky, and they lost to Arsenal who were in full swing at the time.

Jose Mourinho came close to bringing Chelsea their first ever Premier League title, and no one doubted that at the time, but Chelsea still pushed him away, and aside from the internal power struggle, it was clear that Abou was unwilling to endure the double pain of Chelsea's inability to make the game enjoyable and lift the trophy.

In the past, Chelsea tried to revamp the team with a Brazilian coach, but sadly, the World Cup-winning coach failed, and the Samba football philosophy he brought with him simply did not apply to the Premier League.

Now, Chelsea are looking for a change and Villas-Boas is here with the Latin-style technical flow philosophy he has cultivated from Portugal.

Chelsea are bound to have a period of pain after multiple turmoil, whether it is a defeat to Manchester United or Queens Park Rangers, which is a price to pay.

But the defeat to Arsenal, which I think is more typical, because whether the team conceded five goals in a game anyway and was reversed, or whether it's two months after the league has passed, shows that Chelsea are not yet fully mature, and even the most basic tacit understanding between the players has not been reached.

I'm not saying that there is no familiarity between the Chelsea players, but that there is a problem with the understanding and execution of the Chelsea players under the manager's new technical and tactical thinking!

Either there is a problem with the technique itself, or it simply does not work with Chelsea's current squad.

A week ago, I thought Liverpool would have comfortably picked up the three points at Stamford Bridge, but now there have been surprises on Liverpool's side, with Marcos Alonso and Cabaye unable to play due to injury, which has brought back the suspense of this game. ”

Gary Neville, who has just been a guest commentator, gushes a lot about his new career and gets into the role quickly.

Martin Taylor asks curiously: 'Did injuries to Alonso and Cabaye really affect Liverpool that much?' ”

"Of course, Alonso, as Liverpool's midfield commander, may not have many memorable shots in a season, he won't score many goals, and he will have very few direct assists, but this kind of role is that most people will ignore him when he exists, but you will only know how important he is when he is not there. Look at how much United miss Paul Scholes right now and you can see what I'm talking about. Cabaye may not be as organiser as Alonso, but he is ultimately a role that can sort out the attack and defence in midfield, and with him, the impact of Alonso's absence will certainly not be so dazzling, but unfortunately he is also injured, which makes me very much excited about how Coman will arrange Liverpool's starting and tactical play today. I have to say that Koeman this season is exhausted in how to adjust Liverpool! ”

"Hehe, this Coman is very admirable, almost three months to use a lot of starting lineups, formations, and Liverpool's technical and tactical characteristics in the game are also colorful, some people have worried that Liverpool is not good, because without a fixed starting and formation, they will lose a continuation of form."

"No, a good coach will know his team well first, Koeman's approach has not made Liverpool chaotic, as long as the core level has not changed, the others are just formal, just like Thiago Silva, Mascherano, Alonso Gerrard, Qin Xiong, Suarez These players have a solid foundation for Liverpool, then the others are secondary, after all, these players have tactical understanding ability, game reading ability is very strong, they can tolerate teammates, connect teammates, Inspire each other to fight stronger, which is also an important reason why Liverpool can become one of the super teams in European football. ”

"Well, what you said makes me look forward to seeing how Liverpool will perform in the game today.

Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.

Chelsea started 433.

Goalkeeper: Cech.

Defenders: Branislav Ivanovic, David Luiz, Terry, Ashley Cole.

Midfielders: Mikel, Ramires, Lampard.

Forwards: Mata, Drogba, Malouda.

Mereles, who had a good start to the season, was put on the bench and was directly linked to his decline in form over the past few games, while Essien is still recovering from an injury, which makes us wonder if Essien, who was once the Premier League's number one midfielder, has gone downhill, Fernando Torres, who joined Chelsea midway through last season, has not been able to regain his peak form at Stamford Bridge, and Villas-Boas has also failed to activate the Spanish striker, who was also on the bench today.

Liverpool started 4411.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Johnson, Skrtel, Thiago Silva, Baines.

Midfielders: Mascherano, Tiot, Gerrard, Lucas.

Forwards: Suarez, Qin Xiong.

Liverpool were in a 4312 formation today, to be exact.

Koeman put three defensive midfielders in the midfield in one go, and then Gerrard played as a central midfielder, Qin Xiong ambushed behind Suarez, what effect would such a starting formation play?

Let's wait and see! (To be continued.) )
