I think fans will understand why a team can lose, there are only a few games left in the season and it doesn't matter that apart from the EPL they aren't playing anywhere else at the moment. It's been a difficult season for them one way or another, so they have the right to rest and start that rest now. I think they realise that a winning streak means nothing globally and it's okay to not stick with it
They already had there title celebration match, ain’t nothing much in the games that is left so, they could as well play it just the way they like, for entertainment and be sure not to sustain any injuries because, it would have been for nothing. What they need now is a long big rest and to test out some of those academy guys along with their bench since, some of the teams are still battling for positions on the league table. So their wasn’t anything much in Chelsea’s win today except for Chelsea.
I agree with the both of you though I made the mistake of betting on Liverpool to beat Chelsea which eventually did not happen and I've lost my money, I am really not surprised that Chelsea ended up winning the game, Liverpool lost but also at the same time did not loose looking at the number of points they have accumulated all through this season and their position in the league table, winning the premier league title this season is already a kind of guarantee for them since the season is also coming to an end with only a few games generally left to play..
I consider my betting on them as a mistake because 7 should have thought about what I am thinking now before putting that bet up, but all the same, I am happy for them though, atleast for giving Chelsea the chance to improve her point too, for I believe that if Liverpool were to take this yesterday match seriously, Chelsea wouldn't have beaten them.
