Premier Lg EPL Matchday 23 - On Optus Sport

[Mr Meow]

That was awful. Against a decent team we'd be 5 down at half time.

Chelsea must be kicking themselves, such a poor performance from them as well.

If we come out the same in the second half, and Chelsea grow a pair we'll lose by 2 or 3.

Shambolic, entertaining match.

Both sides giving it their best shot at losing.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Didnt say he was good. He just didnt get a yellow card and give up a goal in his first 4 minutes of the game.

That's not what you said either. Wd

 

[Bradesmaen]

Just saw the gomes red. Arsenal fans claiming straight red but pretty much identical challenge from Lewi-Skelly wasn't worth a red. Lol.

 

[chef]

I can't get emotionally attached to this team with Sanchez in goal. Just makes no sense.

Bring back Petro ffs

Poor bort

Like Liverpool when we had Mignolet and Karius.

Chelsea's keepers have been a mixed bag since the Cechoslovakian left. A couple of great ones and some horror shows.

 

[Mr Meow]

Man City too good in the end.

Chelsea just all over the shop and the trajectory doesn't line up with CL qualification unless they get their shit together pronto.

 

[moomba]

Shit performance. Great result.

Gvardiol had his best game for months. Despite me wanting him subbed on 10 minutes I thought Nunes had his best game for the club.

Marmoush showed a bit, and if you take out his first 5-10 minutes I liked the look of Khusanov too.

We'll have to be much, much better with Arsenal and Liverpool coming up

 

[chef]

Bring back Petro ffs

Reminder same ref last year that this wasn't a yellow:
View attachment 2211591

And I recall the narrative at the time was that Oliver didn’t want to send him off because it might ruin the spectacle of the game, or some crap to that extent. Gold

The red card this morning was farcical.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I preface this by stating I have not seen a replay of today's incident, nor do I intend to.

But I think we're at the point now where some select Arsenal fans in here need to stop being silly with the rhetoric that the referees and the world are against them. Complete BS. Luck does go your way at times as well.

 

[RPCB]

Well, that’s my morning entertainment settled.

Got the popcorn ready.

 

[Thistle]

No way was that a red for Lewis-Skelly. Yellow all day long.

It was still the second biggest joke of the night behind Maresca continuing to back Sanchez

Nah. LS was a professional foul that many players do when they lose the ball whilst Gomes was late and a bit reckless. Both yellows to me.

I don’t think there’s a conspiracy but there’s a severe lack of consistency from the referees and these decisions.

Nothing to add on the Lewis-Skelly incident, although if Howard Webb comes out to defend this one I may be out of pocket a grand and a half for a new phone.

The goals in the City Chelsea game were hilarious.

Liverpool are just so good right now. I really like how matter of fact they are when they score. No histrionics, nothing over the top, got a job to do and they do it.

 

[charcoalchicken]

That MLS red card was bananas, whos books is he on? Seriously

 

[Magma]

obviously a bad mistake from khusanov but really annoying how akanji doesnt take control of the situation and just boot it out of play. you're the senior player, just take over. good to recover though and not collapse like we have too often. sanchez has a bit of the claudio bravo's about him. i think haaland will enjoy playing with marmoush too.

Someone agrees with you.

 

[Thistle]

Someone agrees with you.

Same reaction as all Chelsea fans

 

[Cruyff14]

It's a tactical foul 80 yards from goal, it's a yellow card at the absolute worst.

 

[RPCB]

Someone agrees with you.

Incredibly, Robert Sanchez is still being backed when Chelsea have 19 goalkeepers not currently out on loan.

 

[hawkman]

The new stand at our place is looking great. Being built outside the stadium but you can see how it's all going to join up.

Does it already has the same number of seats occupied as it will have on matchdays?

 

[Bradesmaen]

According to the PL match centre it was for serious foul play, studs on leg. Anything forceful above the ankle is a red.
