Shame Giroud isn’t playing as he’d have a field day with Hudson Odoi’s delivery. Still, my bodies ready.
Selling this kid to Bayern is proper Lord Halifax stuff. Looks dangerous every time the ball comes to him.
Kane has dived over him there and they haven't even looked at it from a close angle. Awful refereeing.
It's just "anticipating the contact" if he's a star England player, isn't it?
Sorry, forgot. Superb drawing of the foul by King Harry.
I've been a defender of Willian but in the last few games he has been criminally lazy. Has to go.
In what plane of existence was that not a foul? The offside was close, but that’s not even what you’re complaining about
It probably was a foul (although Harry took a leap in anticipation) but I was complaining about the fact that the referee didn't even check that on the VAR.
It was about as stonewall as they come, the only thing in doubt was whether he was offside
Tottenham have a member of the public in goal here, so frustrating that we don't have anyone to shoot at him.
Harry Kane just sat down on the pitch for two minutes with a fake injury to break up Chelsea's momentum there. Amazing how nobody ever calls out this stuff and assumes it's a real injury.
Well that's kinda tough for the live commentary. You say one guy is faking it and they're legit hurt and you're probably out of a job I'd imagine.
Cracking bit of magic by Klopp.
Jorginho and Barkley are Cahill levels of shite.
Not watching the game but I see we still haven’t made a substitution. You can count on one hand the number of times Poch has made a sub before the 70th minute, it’s fucked mate
Sarri is such a bad manager. Keep watching us piss about in wide areas and cross into a box where a 5 foot 7 Kanté is joined by four tall Spurs defenders. And he NEVER changes the system.
Even Avram Grant used to actually adapt to things in-game. Sarri just watches us lose.
Which is mental given his stellar managerial career prior to joining.
It's annoying because if you pipe his football through a computer it probably comes out smelling of roses (22-6-5 is half decent as a record) but I can guarantee you we will never win anything whatsoever playing this brand of glacial sideways football. It's so easy to play against.
Chelsea want 50 million quid for Tammy Abraham
Makes sense seeing as they seem to be having a fire-sale of all their home grown assets. Has anyone told Tobacco Van Gaal how it all works?
I read that Lewis Baker has been recalled from his loan from Leeds back to Chelsea. I had him confused with Jose Baxter who only left Everon official at the end of last season. He was the don on FM 2006.
Just reading his wiki page. They released him in 2012, then re-signed him in 2017?! Seems mental, he never played a game for them in that second spell.
Wasn't that some sort of compassionate rehiring - like after he'd failed a drugs test or had some other career setback?
After a failed drugs test for ecstasy.
We've gone from having 1 defender last week to having literally the whole squad fit apart from Holding and Welbeck.

His deal with spurs expires in 18 months? Lol at that price.
It's FM tactics to try and scare teams off.
If they came in with a bid of, let's say, £100m they'd take it.

Spurs stadium delayed again until March.
Man City molesting Burton here
May see a rare double figure scoreline here
It's worse when there's still a second leg to come.
When I was younger they used to call amateur rugby games at half-time if it was 40-0. They should just do that and forget the second leg.
In my indoor 'soccer' league they stop counting when it is 5-0, but they let the game continue.
I seem to recall that in the Brazil Cup, if you win by 2 clear goals the second leg is wiped off.
Ramsey is joining Juve in the summer officially. I like the move. I dont think he is going to light it up in Italy. His best days was a few years ago when his scoring from every where in the final third.

May as well get the operating table out in preperation for Higuain to Chelsea. That is aan easy prediction. He has scored goals for 10+ years and then asking him to come to the premire league and do it again. Slim chance lad.
Higuain is a weird one. He's got pretty good numbers, but I've never once thought he was actually any good. I haven't watched him regularly since he left Madrid though, so perhaps he's a better player these days.
Once you get to those type of ages. Asking a player to move to a new club again and score goals is a massaive ask. He will expire
Don't they have Pjanic? Isn't he quite good?
and Matuidi who is excellent.
If Ramsay can stay fit he'll probably play with those two though.
Chelsea have recalled Michy Batshuayi from his loan at Valencia after 1 league goal in 15 games.
The way I read it, it was Valencia sending him back
Batshuayi is a dreadful player in serious football. Can finish but the ball bounces off him so much that when properly marked he'll rarely have good opportunities. Would score a goal a game in certain leagues though.
Chelsea rejecting money and a swap deal with Malcolm/Willian is far too funny. What has he got on everyone at the club.
Workrate. Its why Klopp being a flop is respected.
