Kind of sums up just how different it feels from before the revival. Even with red card decision going their way, penalty decision going their way. Trippier,Wilson plus THE BEAST not available. Tuchels celebration at full time whistle was maybe like he'd just beaten Man City in a 6 pointer, yet the reigning European and World champions had just questionably scraped a 1-0 win at home against a depleted bottom half of the table team. If it takes such extreme circumstances for Newcastle to get beat in future...maybe some happy days coming.
I like Tuchel. He's been shat on from a great height by his club and left to be the face of Chelsea and has handled himself with dignity and sincerity - about the only one in that club who has done so.
I like him also. It’s not his fault the referee and VAR are useless. Makes you wonder whether the people operating VAR have ****ing bets on because some of the ones they get wrong is bonkers. Liverpool yesterday their striker got kicked in the chest by the goalkeeper yesterday and it wasn’t even a yellow. Anywhere else on the pitch and it’s a red.
No I was saying it’s not Tuchels fault that the referee and VAR can’t see a blatant penalty. It’s happening way to much and in favour of the top teams. The referees are scared.
100%. I said on the match thread, Coote gave a corner - Chalobah took down the man, and missed the ball. It's the very definition of a clear and obvious error. If Coote - even being an imbecilic bellend - is called to the monitor, he instantly gives the penalty. But VAR chose not to call him over, cheating Newcastle out of a penalty. It's beyond corrupt.
It's not just our games it's happening every time the likes of Liverpool or Chelsea need a leg up. They're not even hiding it because they don't need to. People just blame the officials. The officials knew and know that's a penalty
It's unbelievable that the officials couldn't spot that as a penalty so the only conclusion is that it was deliberately ignored, Tuchel has shown dignity as manager of Chelsea at a difficult time, that went completely out of the window with that celebration, considering the match he went full tosser.
Yeah Tuchel is a good guy, with an excellent record as a manager, compare him to the likes of Mourinho and he has a hell of a lot more dignity. He benefited from a crap ref and VAR yesterday, but we'd have been happy to do the same. Massive difference yesterday to the 0-3 home defeat earlier in the season.
