Don't understand dyche as a manager

1-0 down defending like their 1-0 up

Azpilicueta over reacted to get the player sent off. Wasn't a great challenge and a clear yellow buy went down with a broken leg given that scream and then fine

That was a red card any day of the week.

Totally brainless challenge that had it been made by a Chelsea player on one of yours Scott Parker would have been screaming for a red .

disagree Mickie, definite yellow/harsh red is how I see it. Azpilcueta made a meal of the contact.
 
New form of the two footed challenge.

"If I don't get you with the first foot I will with the second."

Don't like Azpilicueta's scream but that doesn’t alter the fact that it was an extremely dangerous challenge.
 
Pleased with the performance. Thought we were on a tough gig before the game and haven't got a good record anyway against Chelsea. Thought we were compact and defended well but they had a lot of possession around the box and always a matter of time. Got WBA and Brighton coming soon and those are where we need to get wins and certainly avoid defeat
 
I see that Carragher has had a little pop at Man Utd saying that they are back on top because of the amount of penalties they have been awarded this season...

"it's an extraordinary amount of penalties that Manchester United have had this season".

In the PL this season Man Utd have been awarded 6 penalties. Liverpool have been awarded 5. Hardly a massive difference there.

Burnley and West Ham have not had any! Leicester are so far ahead. I would suggest that's the Jamie Vardy effect I was talking about a couple of pages back. Although I don't have the stats for who actually won them all.

Just seen this though, it's pretty extraordinary: https://www.myfootballfacts.com/pre...ier-league/premier-league-penalty-statistics/
We're less than halfway through this season but there's already been more penalties than there were in most seasons through the 90s and early 00s. And it's not even far away from 17/18 and 19/20 totals already! That's the VAR effect.

Diving practice paying off;)

Not a surprise some of the pens given have been scandalous this season.

To be fair we've had Haller up top. Looked like he was running in toffee.

It does raise an interesting point. We've not had penalties as we have no players who can perform unnatural movements to make sure they get tapped and then dive 10 yards. But we are very strong from set pieces and constantly get manhandled in the box. To the point where our big boys can't jump half the time.

Why has VAR taken fast sprinting dives to the extreme, but completely ignored players grappling an attacker going for a header?

Never understood why you can go for the ball and miss tap his ankle it’s a pen.
But go for a header miss the ball and headbutt someone nothing.
As long as ignoring shirt pulling pushing is consistent it’s ok???
