“The movements were brilliant”.

“Roberto [Firmino] can make exactly the same run but if Daniel hadn’t made that run he wouldn’t have been free”. That’s how football is. “Being that flexible is the key for all games”.

Chelsea will look to get back to winning ways following their draw at Swansea City when they take on Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Friday night.

“I watched the game [against Swansea], whoever was the broadcaster, they showed when they missed the goal and he’s always involved in the game”.

“Experience, when you use it right, makes you stronger and that’s their only real advantage”.

“Last season was not a Chelsea season and now they are back on track, so we need to be ready for a real challenge”. That’s how it is.

“I knew when we signed Karius that we now have two really strong goalkeepers”.

“That’s what we do with him, that’s what we do with Mama (Sakho)”. “Plus we have Ruben [Loftus-Cheek] who can play in this position”.

“We need to improve because they are so experienced”.

“He’s a nice guy as a neighbour”.
