Calum McFarlane found positives in the performance from **Chelsea**who drew 1-1 with Liverpool.
The Blues have lost their last six Premier League fixtures, and a scoreless streak in the first five of those results saw Liam Rosenior removed the role of head coach last month. A 3-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest witnessed an acrobatic effort from Joao Pedro in second half injury time as the only big plus point from the display, and Champions League football appears to be an impossibility.
‘This club needs to win games of football’
That sorry state was reinforced by a 6th minute strike from Ryan Gravenberch at Anfield, but the hosts would allow **Chelsea**to grow into the game. Eventually, Enzo Fernandez cancelled out the opener through a free kick that floated all the way beyond Giorgi Mamardashvili, and the mazy carrying of **Joao Pedro**nearly punched through the **Liverpool**backline to earn a second half penalty.
The losing streak has ended, and McFarlane wishes to build on this stalemate for the rest of the run-in.
“It was a really good performance. It could have gone either way, really, at certain moments in that game. Probably, being a little bit biased, we could have won the game. We had some good moments.
“‘I remember Enzo's chance in the first half, Marc Cucurella getting into some really good areas, crossing areas, another marginal offside, a penalty that I thought - and I know it's a tough job for officials - but I think that's a clear penalty. So arguably we could have come away with three points.
“This club needs to win games of football, and we haven't done that today. We're not happy with the form and some of the recent performances, so yeah, it's nice to have a good, complete performance.
“It would have been better with a win, but when you come to these places, it's really difficult. So it’s a positive day.”
