Administrator Stan Posted January 21, 2020 Author Administrator Posted January 21, 2020 That's so unfortunate for Kante though

I find it hard to blame him for today's. In fact, to me it feels like the ref's fucked up - aren't there double jeopardy rules to prevent a player from being sent off when they've committed a foul in the box? Or is that only when it's a genuine attempt at getting the ball... and because of where Tammy's body was positioned... there's no real way for Luiz to genuinely go after the ball there without going through Abraham. Watch the clip of his sending off today, it's actually hilarious. Just a Mustafi moment with that backpass and Luiz tries to cover for his idiot teammate... and after the foul you see Mustafi attempt to clear the ball. Straight into Luiz's head
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted January 21, 2020 Subscriber Posted January 21, 2020 You know on any other day this is bizarre but not tonight. With all the results we've just seen this could end up being another weird game that no one can predict.
Bluewolf Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 What the fuck!! A Gerrard style fuck up there from Kante…
Administrator Stan Posted January 21, 2020 Author Administrator Posted January 21, 2020 Happy that Chelsea could drop points. Not happy that Kante has slipped to lead to a goal but that is great pace and composure from Martinelli

Our season in a nutshell For all our one man advantage and all the possession we have had we have only managed 3 shots on goal and only got a goal through a penalty, our final third performances have killed us just as much as our defensive ones...
Dr. Gonzo Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Just now, Stan said: Has to be genuine attempt to get the ball of which there was not. I figured as much - hard to say there could have been a genuine attempt at the ball there with Luiz really unable to get to the ball without going through the back of Tammy. I actually feel a bit bad for Luiz, because what's he supposed to do there? Just let Tammy score? Can understand why he felt the need to make a challenge. Although I guess in hindsight you can say being a goal down is better than being a goal AND a man down. I'm glad Arsenal have equalised though - looking at the table, they're not far away from the relegation zone. And while they got a bit of a new manager bump and are playing a bit better than they did under Emery... I still think they've got a lot of big issues in that squad. Would like them to pick up a few more points so they're not a few results away from actually being in the relegation zone with a novice manager. I feel for Arteta in the summer. He's got a big job on his hands getting rid of deadwood and bringing some life back into this Arsenal squad.

6666 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Kante's mistake was funnier. And Martinelli > Mbappe.

Administrator Stan Posted January 21, 2020 Author Administrator Posted January 21, 2020 Guendouzi is one of the biggest cunts in the league. Dirty twat.

Florent Malouda did impressive stuff at Chelsea and Lyon - it's not like he rode the bench to glory like Mustafi did. I feel like a more apt comparison would be Djimi Traore or Salif Diao (quite possibly one of the worst LFC players I've ever seen) winning the CL. But I'd still rather have Djimi Traore in a defense than Mustafi. Chelsea look leggy now imo. Which probably means they're about to score, given how the matches have gone today.

Yeah, I realized that after I posted it. Showing my age really. Still, saying Mustafi being a World Cup winner makes international football shite is not a great argument. For me, better to say that the last 2 World Cup winners were Deschamps and Low.
Administrator Stan Posted January 21, 2020 Author Administrator Posted January 21, 2020 Mcmanaman says Chelsea can't expect Pepe to go round the goal. Willian did. Referee purposely deciding not to enforce the rule?
Administrator Stan Posted January 21, 2020 Author Administrator Posted January 21, 2020 Also, it doesn't feel like Chelsea have the extra man...
Bluewolf Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 So bloody wasteful, 12 corners and we have mustered just one decent effort on goal...

Yeah my comment about Mustafi and the quality of international football was tongue in cheek as fuck mate International football's never going to match the quality of club football imo, just because it's simply not logistically possible for international sides to ever be as well drilled as the best European or South American sides. International sides spend a few days together and then go back to their clubs - at the clubs these players are training week in week out, they know their teammates runs down to a tee, they understand how to move as a squad because they get trained on it week in week out. It's why really conservative tactics tend to work really well in international football - it's hard to get well organised and playing expansive football when you've got a limited amount of time. It's easy to be well organised and stay compact and play park the bus type shite.

If anything, Chelsea look the more tired - weirdly. 1 minute ago, Bluewolf said: So bloody wasteful, 12 corners and we have mustered just one decent effort on goal... Seems strange that Lampard's sides don't seem to have as much focus on set pieces as you think they would. He's a man who had some of the best days in his career under Mourinho - you'd think he knows just how important set pieces really are.
Rick Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Should that be looked at? Is Abraham not affecting play?
