It’s near identical to the Guehi yellow couple weeks back

Arsenal looking like Liverpool already today.

Maybe it was one of those old leather balls that turned to rock when they got wet

I thought exactly the same when I saw that live. Pathetic.

Not a handball for a high elbow, so long as you are firmly grabbing an opponent at the time

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Should have been a penalty but guess touch of karma with the goal

 

[Swango1980]

Corners are unbelievable now. In that second corner, Rice just had his back to ball the entire time, had firmly grabbed opponents shirt, and was basically sumo wrestling for the entire time. And if a goal hadn't been scored, I'm pretty sure a penalty wouldn't have been given

I don't care a hoot about Chelsea but I'm pleased they scored. Should have had a penalty the corner before, have been given to other teams and frankly it just was.

Reset for the second half now, not caring about either team

Should be a red card for simulation especially the pretence as it's his head.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

On this form James should be a shoe in for England

 

[Swango1980]

2-1. Hmmmm

 

[Swango1980]

Neto should get an additional game ban simply for continually complaining about his second yellow, despite it being one of the easiest yellow card decisions we'll ever see.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Pedro Neto = very stupid

Looks like a few teams will be looking at new keepers in the summer.

That's 7 reds in 28 games for Chelsea ..................... one red every four games just won't get the job done.

Chelsea have a serious disciplinary problem 9 red cards this season in all comps and a stat I heard earlier on talk post over 100 bookings in the calendar year is poor.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Chelsea have spent more than any club by a considerable margin yet it’s a team with huge hopes

No quality at CB , GK and through the middle at the top

 

[Slime]

Is Delap actually any good?

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Is Delap actually any good?

Given time I think he can be , going to Chelsea wasn’t the best choice

 

[Lucifer MorningStar]

David Raya is genuinely unbelievable his distribution is brilliant but the saves he makes are literally something else and have been worth so many points to this team.

Chelsea just look like a lot of money has been spent but with zero plan on how to build a functioning team.
