The other didn’t.Werner did get the chance to run at Fabinho, but was capably dealt with by a stand-in who has played in central defence for Liverpool and for Brazil, and who was a right-back at Monaco. It might have been 1-0 then.The consolation for Frank Lampard is not just that one of the primary issues with this team is obvious, but that they already have a solution in Edouard Mendy.As to whether you can have some sympathy for the Chelsea boss in the circumstances, that’s a little harder to say.The goalkeeping position is one that evidently requires complete decisiveness from the manager.

But neither are true enough to outrank another more palpable fact: the continuing sharp-edged brilliance of Jürgen Klopp’s existing front three.On a slow-burn afternoon at Stamford Bridge, Sadio Mané, Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah were once again an irrepressible source of incision, and the decisive hand in what was ultimately a perspiration-free.There has been a temptation to worry away at this Liverpool team. Christensen pulled Mané down with a rugby-style smother-tackle across the shoulders. Lampard had otherwise played a much more cautious game, which was more difficult to fault.It made sense against a side as good on the front foot as Liverpool, and especially when he was missing four of his new signings and Christian Pulisic.It meant this was never really going to be the new Chelsea unleashed, and that certainly wasn’t the case in terms of approach.It was a side sitting back and looking to play on the counter.

From there Liverpool could spend the rest of this game enjoying what was in effect an extended warm-down; plus a chance to enjoy Thiago Alcântara’s ability to inflict a lingering death by lactic acid on opponents forced to chase the ball.Another kill, then, for Liverpool’s attacking trident. Jurgen Klopp faced a similar issue with Loris Karius, only to act decisively and authoritatively by going out and getting the goalkeeper that was just perfect for him. Beyond them Kepa Arrizabalaga came haring out of his area, entering the goalkeeping no-man’s land that more or less guarantees a jink and a roll into the net. If a player is suffering a poor run of form and clearly doubting his confidence, his boss can inadvertently feed into that. Due to the sheer scale of this comment community, we are not able to give each post the same level of attention, but we have preserved this area in the interests of open debate.

It always felt a matter of time until a Kepa error would come, too. A brief frown at the VAR screen was all it took to upgrade to red.Then there was the finish for the opening goal, albeit this was a moment that highlighted above all the sublime, deceptively simple interplay between that attacking trident. Firmino played the ball sideways to Salah and set off for the return beyond Marcos Alonso, who seemed to be reading the moment in morse code, turning with all the instant snap of a cargo steamship performing a mid-Atlantic U-turn.The pass from Salah was a lovely little thing, the ball spun and cushioned off the inside of his left foot. Second Frank Lampard chose to play Werner on the left of his attack, no doubt in part to isolate a makeshift centre-half and an overly advanced right-back against Werner’s speed and lateral spring.

The start of the season was marked by vague talk about front-three dependence, driven not by any diminishing powers but by the sheer volume of football played by that well-seasoned Mo-Mané-Bobby front three.There is something a little counterintuitive about this. Want to bookmark your favourite articles and stories to read or reference later? And if he so definitively knows the manager doesn’t fancy him, he’s obviously unlikely to be at his most assured - and that in a game where he will face more work than most.Yet here was Lampard starting a goalkeeper he didn’t deem good enough for the FA Cup final, and who he has already been in the process of replacing. Liverpool are overly reliant on their front three. It felt like sacrificing a strength– Werner through the middle – to pry at what was only a theoretical weakness.Inside Werner Kai Havertz was just an absence. It was always going to be difficult with 10 men anyway.The irony of Christensen’s red card was that it came when Chelsea had themselves pushed up, the centre-half almost rugby tackling Mane when through.

There was only one moment when the game was in the balance that he got free to tear at Liverpool, shooting narrowly wide in the first half.But that was about as good as it got, other than Werner going down for the penalty.If he was forced to wait for opportunities, Liverpool were more than ready to be patient. It was his alertness and aggression that so unsettled Kepa for the key moment. It fittingly felt like a nadir, and this may be the end of his time at Chelsea.That’s how bad it’s got for a goalkeeper that is now almost certain to be discarded.His imperfect form aids Liverpool’s perfect start.The new Chelsea must wait.
