In as much as Liverpool has already won the league I would have thought they should also try to play for respect and also to build a formidable legacy and history but that wasn't the case today as they lost 3:1 to Chelsea.
I did not watch the match so I was following the live score, on looking at the squad Liverpool used I even felt more embarrassed because many of their first team players started the match.
But on any thoughts Chelsea is fighting for a place in Europe so their hunger today just surpassed Liverpool's own who are already champions of the league
It is really embarrassing for Liverpool to be beaten by every team after they have won the league title. Such matches may not be too important for them towards any trophy but clubs uses those matches for their records. Apart from that, the fans also use those matches to cheer themselves up, get motivation to buy tickets and even bet among themselves. These are the things that makes the sports fun and bring out that pride of supporting a club. Liverpool should have a change of mindset for their remaining matches so they can bring some excitement to their supporters.
This is indeed sad, Liverpool as champions should have been able to get through the remaining matches with a win so that the trophy they got would be something honorable. But the reality is like this they lost to Chelsea even though just last week they celebrated their victory as EPL league winners. Sometimes I think every team that has locked the trophy is indeed difficult to predict, especially if we bet on a team like this, of course it is very risky because they will definitely lose and luckily I didn't bet on this match.
Because I realize Liverpool's position is no longer enthusiastic about pursuing victory, maybe if they were still pursuing the title, Chelsea could have lost to Liverpool, but now the problem is that Liverpool has become champions. If Liverpool is likened to a sparring event, Chelsea is serious about pursuing a UCL ticket. I'm sure many Chelsea fans would thank Liverpool for these 3 points.
