Tiresias

i'd be upset by the result if it wasn't against that twat

ndong shafts big sam

Larrson definitely should have been off, jammy cunts

yep finally broke the curse, also got injured

How is larson still a thing?

Lukaku still only 23? Feels like he's been about for aaaaaaages

Goal should be disallowed for celebrating before shooting

Lukaku is great, has everything

Slight fear that eddie howe is another Martinez, gets a load of plaudits for good looking football with a poor team, then when he moves away everyone realises he can't get a team to defend for his life. Everton also appearing to still be suffering a martinez hangover

what a ridiculous goal

Not signing him is like a new signing lololol

What a goal

Arsenal were always going to get rolled over, this Chelsea team feels custom designed to overpower arsenal teams

I don't think so, imo seen that given as a foul a lot. In truth I think the problem is that it is totally ambiguous as to if that's a foul or not, and up for interpretation, or is that just me?

Terrible shooting but otherwise solid, thought once he went off we were much more open to attacks

Agree that Diame was good but think there is a positional issue with him, at the start he was very high up trying to press their backline forcing them wide, but wasn't then able to help out in midfield much. Later on he retreated back (then of course moved back to replace Hayden) and then there were not enough forward bodies. It feels like under Rafas system we sometimes have the worst problem of 4-4-2 an underpowered midfield and the worst problem of 4-5-1 of an isolated striker. Think it may just the whole team not quite performing. I think it may have been more the fault of Mitrovic not doing anything that left Diame running everywhere.

Incredibly inconsistent today, loads of more serious fouls missed and non fouls awarded as fouls. I particularly loved the first yellow card for something that would clearly have not been a card if it hadn't passed the 70 minute mark and thought 'better start handing out a few yellows' (albeit I guess may have warned player previously thinking about it. Just seemed mad not long after a bad tackle on shelvey that was let go with out a card at all)

Just so slow and ineffective

Villa closer to the drop than the playoffs still

Just got back, why do I always go to super nervy ones Good win, tense second half (loss of hayden unbalanced us) and we were poor in keeping posession and slow in buildup, but we got the goal and they only looked like scoring at the end. Super inconsistent ref.

Love him, glad to hear he's not quitting now, albeit always thought it would be summer if he did. Ashley will make the same mistakes again though, time and time again he self-sabotages

Agree need some noise behind rafa

Yeah no chance of keeping him, unless maybe charnley gets thrown out as sacrificial lamb?

definitely 6 out of 10 and fast receding. 4 Points clear of playoffs is catastrophically poor return.
