In a match that offered a glimmer of hope amid a turbulent season, Chelsea caretaker manager Calum McFarlane boldly claimed his side could have snatched all three points against Liverpool at Anfield. Despite settling for a draw, McFarlane pointed to several missed opportunities that left him believing victory was within reach.

"I think, probably being a little bit biased, I think we could have won the game," McFarlane said after the final whistle. "We had some good moments. I remember Enzo's chance in the first half, Cucurella getting into some really good areas, crossing areas, another marginal offside, another penalty shout that I thought, personally, I know it's a tough job for officials, but I think that's a clear penalty. So, yeah, arguably we could have come away with three points."

The draw at Anfield marked a welcome relief for Chelsea, who had endured six consecutive defeats before this performance. While only a single point, the display showed improved effort and organization compared to recent outings. McFarlane's press conferences have rarely been easy since taking over as caretaker—his only bright spots being a draw against Manchester City in January and a Wembley win. This time, however, there was at least a touch of positivity to discuss.

For fans hoping to see Xabi Alonso take the reins permanently, the week brought mixed emotions. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has since tempered some of that excitement with his latest updates. Meanwhile, defender Levi Colwill, returning after nearly a full season out, shared heartfelt gratitude for those who supported him through his recovery.

As Chelsea look to build on this performance, the question remains: can they turn these promising moments into consistent results? For now, McFarlane and his squad will take the positives from Anfield and aim for more in the weeks ahead.
