Chelsea 2 -Baggies 2 The day gets even better!

Ramirez dived for Chelsea's equalizing penalty. It was 2-1 to WBA. Could have been even better.

(Still half empty)

Would like to see a compilation of Henderson's touches today, his first touch was spot on all game today, Coutinho certainly freed up space for him and Gerrard to break in to, I honestly can't fault any one today.

I'm not convinced it was a penalty (or not) but it certainly wasn't a dive.

Are you joking me?

I was a ****ing dive from that club of absolute puss.

Didn't catch the game today, just bits of the second half, what was the starting formation? Back four or five?

Back four. Hence the clean sheet

 

[Sharpe*]

Good point actually.

First clean sheet in about 8 games.

...that looks like a coming together. Not a penalty but can understand it from the referees angle. I don't think Rameriz dives at all, maybe goes down easier than he should but that do come together fairly hard.

 

[Sharpe*]

I think he took the opportunity and the ref caves in and gives it.

Haha figures. Hope this is a permanent switch.

Fair enough. But taking that view, my opinion would be that the defender gave him the chance to take the opportunity.

 

[Foredeckdave]

I am happy. I'm now on the rum. I will be even happier later

He does but the Chelsea player makes the decision to cheat.

I missed the game. Great result. What system did we play and who played where?

4 at the back. I'd say 4-1-3-2 to be honest, Gerrard, Henderson and Coutinho were very fluid in their movement, it's hard to pin down their exact positions, Johnson and Cissikho both coming forward.. In short, a very high pressing, attacking performance from us.

Its a game of opinions

 

[Sharpe*]

Its a game of opinions

And yours is wrong

You can't say its cheating if the defender creates an opportunity for a dive.

The defender is not cheating, the Chelsea player is.

 

[Super G Ted'inho]

And yours is wrong

And one of us is lying

He is already going down as he ducks and leans in for the shoulder get together. Might not be Young-like theatrics but it is a dive.
