The assistant isn't supposed to put his flag up until the goal is scored though. I imagine he alerts the ref by saying he has spotted an offside and then puts the flag up when the ref permits. It remains nothing to do with Mike Dean (unusually)
This is where I will give Pep credit, he has an unlimited amount of money to spend but the man gets his teams to play some beautiful football. I'd kill to see us play half as good as this.
I'm just glad WE'RE not playing Citeh on this form. 0-3 at half time would likely be considered a good result....
Walkers contribution was immense, from the initial won tackle and excellent crossfield ball, to then making that late run. Brilliant!
Potter could well find himself in danger of being dismissed. When it was obvious that he was off to Chelsea, my view was that it wasn't the right club for him. There's a complete culture change going on there, with a new owner, board and a high player turnover. In his first top job, that's not helpful. I still think that he'd be a blinding Spurs coach.
Kai Havertz on corners: please log in to view this image Got a better contact on it than Kepa did, to be fair.
To be fair to Potter, Chelsea basically have a whole team out. Mendy, James, Fofana, Chilwell, Kante, Leftarse-Cheek, Sterling, Pulisic and Broja. One more centre-half and that'd be a functional XI.
Yes, but their transfer spend is immense and their academy is also stocked with talent, also assembled at huge cost. They're 10th in the PL, behind Brentford, Fulham and Brighton, and 10 points behind 4th place. If I was him, I'd be nervous...
I doubt he'll be unemployed long, if he does get the sack. His next job could be extremely important for his career in that situation, though. Struggling with an Everton or a West Ham could hurt him badly.
