Jason Cundy furious with 23-year-old Chelsea player during loss against Liverpool

Chelsea just went through a night to forget during the heavy defeat at Anfield against Liverpool.

Jason Cundy raged at Blues midfielder Conor Gallagher for one particular moment in the first-half, but the reality is most of his teammates could be on the chopping block after that performance.

Chelsea suffered a 4-1 away loss against Liverpool on Wednesday evening in the Premier League.

It’s certainly a worrying display and result as the teams meet in the Carabao Cup final on 25 February at Wembley Stadium.

Aside from a few positive bursts in the second period, Mauricio Pochettino’s side were outplayed in Liverpool as their poor form on the road continued.

Speaking via Chelsea’s 5th Stand App tonight, Cundy was particularly frustrated with Chelsea star Gallagher for what he did at Anfield.

The 23-year-old attacking midfielder wasted a great chance to try reduce the deficit before half-time, but the ball got stuck under his feet and he wasn’t sharp enough to find an unmarked teammate around the edge of the penalty box.

Eventually, he was one of three players substitute off the pitch at half-time.

“What are you doing?! The pass has got to go out to Sterling!” Cundy raged during co-commentary of Liverpool vs Chelsea (9:00pm, 31 January).

“We’ve drawn them in. They’ve had to come narrow. I don’t know what Conor is thinking.

“That decision-making at No 10 role is absolutely key. He’s got to play that ball out to Sterling.”

Chelsea miles off it

We’ve seen Chelsea go on a decent run of results recently, but it was a timely reminder in midweek they’re a long way off the teams at the top still.

You could criticise most of the Blues players following the collapse on Merseyside.

For example, speaking via TNT Sports tonight, Ally McCoist criticised Raheem Sterling for his role in one of the goals they conceded.

Liverpool carved through the Chelsea defence on countless occasions, which is a big worry before they play on a big Wembley pitch in next month’s League Cup final.

We’ll need to see a remarkable U-turn from Pochettino’s men to beat this Liverpool side in just a few weeks.
