    I would not be surprised. Middlesbrough are bang average this season and we won comfortably at Leicester's place a month or so ago which has sent them into a bit of a spiral.

    That goal is on Sanchez. Surely his last game at this level, looks like he's forgotten where to stand or what to do.

    Defence always looks an absolute mess with him back there. Just not good enough. He was Brighton’s 3rd choice ffs

    In other news Erik Ten Hag has obviously been on some of Amsterdam's finest:

    "Some games are bigger than others, I think Manchester United against Liverpool is always a big game. I am looking forward to it," he said.

    "In such games, we always achieve good performances. I don't think in any really high-rated game that we had any lows. They are very consistent, we need our best to beat them."

    It doesn't knock Jamie Pollock off the top of my rankings but I think that is a contender so fair play to the lad.

    Wouldn't most top level goalkeepers, in this situation, have been told to come collect the ball high up in order to recycle it as efficiently as possible?



    It's just bizarre decision making/awareness from Disasi, surely.

    Reckon they would want him there or on the far left of the picture for the easier lay off.

    Even if Sanchez is between him and the goal, and on the edge of the box as you would expect, he chips him anyway.

    Fuck off.

    Just get Sterling off the pitch so you can out score them. The conceded goals was inevitable with that back line and keeper.

    I don't know if it's a consequence of having to accommodate passengers like Mudryk and Sterling, but Chelsea's midfield is absolute death. Caicedo has probably been the worst signing they've made from Brighton, which is saying something in a very competitive field.

    Maybe, in live play he seemed way higher up than you'd expect him to be. Regardless he's been horrendous all game, particularly on the ball where he needs about ten touches.

    This team is infuriating to watch. The way they just switch off for 20 minutes in games, complete lack of leaders and calm heads on the pitch.

    He just miles off the player he was at Brighton. At first I thought it was because Chelsea were playing differently to Brighton, in that they never really played the ball into players when they were under pressure, which was sort of his and Brighton's hallmark, but he just seems off it a lot of the time, getting caught in possession or out of position and just generally looking more of a shitkicker than anything.

    Love that J Pearce still doesn't understand the red card rule.

    Oh, it will be a red after all.

    That's outside the box and should be a red card as a result.

    Why is it taking so long? It's outside the box - one replay is all that was needed.

    How? Is this the double jeopardy thing but it only applies in the box?

    I think it is almost impossible to be red card/penalty'd for an offence involving your feet. You'd have to property boot someone nowhere near the ball. Mostly only going to be shirt-pulling/handball on the line etc.

    Now Keown's letting himself down on the red card rule.

    Double jeopardy. The pen will be cancelled and red card given.

    It’s the set up. Pochettino has caicedo playing on his own with no support and that’s why it looks like he is always out of position. Genuinely think he’s an incredible player and will only get better with a good manager

    If Caicedo was playing alongside a wily old head you'd be seeing great results, in this 'investment squad' he's got a ceiling I think.

    Not a red if you make an attempt for the ball but he tripped him up so it should have been a red if it was in the box.

    That's quite a sudden turn by the crowd. Poch not geared up for the cup crowd which has many more 'real fans' than the league version.

    I think incidental contact type fouls, whether you say that one was that or not, don't get caught in the same way as more 'intentional' fouls, and interpretation of the rule seems to be pretty lenient as regards 'no possibility to play the ball' - think OGS against Rob Lee for the level of foul needed.

    DENYING A GOAL OR AN OBVIOUS GOAL-SCORING OPPORTUNITY (DOGSO)

    Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offender is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball or a challenge for the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.), the offending player must be sent off.

    Lingard's manager at FC Seoul today..

    "Even though he came on as a substitute, he didn’t work hard and avoided tussle. The name value has no meaning on the pitch. I will tell him this exactly."

    Hopefully the next sub sees Jackson off whilst Sterling remains. There'll be a riot.

    Why does he make so few subs?

    Definitely because Sterling wasn’t being taken off

    Bit harsh on Raheem I would say, it's not like he isn't trying, and however you want to spin it is an infinitely better footballer than Noni Madueke.
