The non-Watford football thread

2nd half got going for about 5 minutes bursts but wasn't a lot better.

Ruthless business!

Seem harsh - not the greatest start but had a tough run of games.

Maybe should have been given more time?

Having said that the Leicester fans seem quite happy...

 

Just shows what a ruthless business football is - success at any cost. For Leicester's owners it seems that six matches without a win is too much to bear.

 

Just wondering if Leicester is starting to find their true place again, and they just aren't that good. Of course they won the league... but sometimes the stars just align like that, and they hit perfect form. Kante is a huge loss, and pretty much irreplaceable - Leicester are a bottom half team, as are many of their players! They probably just think they are a lot better than they really are but also maybe lost that hunger from the title-winning season

 

Do not be suprised if they come sniffing after Marco Silva!!!!!

 

Don't think he'd leave for them now !

 

Chelsea 3 - 3 Roma at the moment.

Hope they tire themselves out before Saturday. Roma giving them a good workout!

Wednesday fixture too so even less time to "recover," maybe a chance on Saturday for Silva's men!

 

Looking shaky at the back for once...

 

David Luiz went off injured - apparently seriously. And he was covering in midfield for the injured N'Golo Kante...

 

A lovey quote from the BBC:
It was the sort of poor defending that characterised the game on both sides, and will worry Conte heading into Saturday's game against fourth-placed Watford.

 

Merson is making a comeback it would seem - has maybe found his level too, playing for a team in the Welsh fourth division.

After all the fuss over the penalty incident against Arsenal and should Richarlison have been charged with diving it seems the FA (is if they haven't got issues of their own!) have accused a Carlisle player of such an act.

He did actually get up and lay the ball off afterwards though!

Presume the bookings to the Wycombe players for dissent will be annulled?

 

That is just a nonsense he never appealed for anything but just, as you say, got up and played on. The ref should be taken to task for that decision, not the player.

 

Be getting restless in the East End!

 

Man City player said to have dived to win a penalty against Burnley...

Man U 2 down at Huddersfield.

 

Everton been battered by Arsenal - shows what a good result last week was.

 

Cracking goal by Louis Moult to put Motherwell 2-0 up against Rangers...

 

Oh dear - Rangers manager for the sack?

 

That wouldn't surprise me...

 

Talk about shocking refereeing - Rangers player gets off scot free for kicking Motherwell player, another Rangers player gets yellow card for pushing the same Motherwell player over - Motherwell player gets yellow card for being kicked and pushed over...
