Yeah we couldn't quite manage it but we battered you at times and you got lucky with a flick on going in, I'm happy with what I saw from us and wasn't impressed with you lot... Well other than your ability to grind out a draw.
I'm not sure what the suspension is for James, but if he gets the equal tariff to Xakha and Perez for their tackles, that is just sick. Indeed, he shouldn't be suspended at all, and I said that when Allison was rightly sent off against Brighton a couple of seasons ago.
We would have won the game if we kept 11 on the field. We should have been a couple of goals up at half time. You know it.
Exactly. I think we seen two games spoilt recently under the current rules, West Ham v Leicester and Chelsea v Liverpool. I'm not saying reds shouldn't be produced, but maybe an alternative punishment. If someone commits a foul on the pitch that is a straight red, maybe the offer of penalty would be better than sending the player off, regardless of where the offence was commited on the pitch. The decision can be given to the captain of the opposing team, for whatever he feels is fitting the situation that occured. I just think it's a shame a ref is spoiling the game in an attempt to apply the rules consistently.
Tuchel had you playing park de bus football from way before the red mate. From the start of the game Lumping it up to bambi on ice was tuchels only plan. Anyways does james miss one or 3 games?
Tbh, Allardyche's meltdowns over the decades have been comedy gold. And Alan Pardew, the manager who said you can't give a penalty against Palace at home in the last minute of injury-time, even if it is a penalty.
We could argue all day but the fact is he got sent off. If you didn't see that we were the better team in the first half then well, I'll leave it there.
I think that sounds fair but some test will always find a way to screw it up. I think the most obvious two are the Suarez one in the World Cup and the Robbie Keane one when he played for Spurs Suarez was just a twat and a pen didn’t help that team and they would have kept Suarez on under your model That to me should have been a goal given whereas the Robbie Keane one when he dived on the line with his hands behind his back was a genuine attempt to not handle the ball. Obviously he rotated and the rest is history but how do you undo those two instances with one rule just leave as is I think is best For what it’s worth James knew exactly what he was doing yesterday and got caught trying a cheeky one - We have all been there (well I have lol)
I totally agree from what I heard Chelsea sounded by far the better team - I just don’t think you can equate that to would have won the game as we all know that just isn’t how football works either way I think Chelsea in this for the long haul over the season
Liverpool condemn fans over homophobic chanting AGAIN during their clash with Chelsea | Daily Mail Online Dreadful. Chelsea fans can't help their inclinations, nor career choices.
As I said earlier, he got sent off, end of. I'm over the moon with a point tbh, considering the circumstances. I don't think a point harms either of us tbh.
Who was Newcastle player a few seasons ago who tried to claim that? Then the ref red-carded him and he seemed to say "Okay, fair cop".
