Chelsea suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat away at Liverpool and it's easy to feel like it's all doom and gloom in West London. But let's take a look at the brighter side. Here are a few positives from yesterday's game.
1. Nkunku. The Frenchman put in a very, very impressive performance in demanding circumstances. He scored a wonderful goal and was always up to create something, keeping the opposition defenders on their toes.
Nkunku looked like the spark in this Chelsea side — and that spark was really bright. If he stays fit, the team's fortunes will certainly improve.
2. Creativity. Chelsea missed several but it means that they created them in the first place. Coming to a place like Anfield and actually standing a chance of getting something means a lot.
The Blues do need to work on how clinical they are in front of goal. But it will come one day.
3. Chukwuemeka. Pochettino's substitutions yesterday didn't really work with the exception of one. Carney came on in the 66th minute and added a sense of solidity and calmness to Chelsea's midfield.
The Englishman is gradually getting back from a knee injury sustained back in August and it's great to see that he's a huge asset.
