Great result for the title race

Well done chelsea

 

[Ayahuasca]

Poch in

 

[Raymond Lin]

Meh, I guess a draw is more than expected before the game...I'll take it.

 

[eurokage]

Yep completely killed it for them. Stupid subs and now they have players that look goosed playing.

Phew! Chlesea manage to cling on even though Poch tried his best to ballz it up!

 

[BaZ87]

Considering how mad Chelsea have been this season, in 5 games vs the top 3 this season they've only lost once.

 

[scarps]

Nuneland was terrible

 

[Robbo]

Entertaining title race, hopefully all 3 teams are in it towards the very end.

 

[C Kent]

Well done Chelsea looking like it will come down to the Liverpool - Man City game for the title decider.

Just seen the pen in the arsenal game.. how has that been given when the 2 in the Liverpool/Brentford game weren't, crazy!

Theres a lot of big matches to come yet, Spurs will have a say, so will Villa (Villa have to play Liverpool, Arsenal AND City) and of course there are the big 2 games, Liverpool v City and City v Arsenal.

How the Hell is this a penalty

[omnomnom]

His left foot is clearly caught by the defender. He goes down easily but he has to.

 

[BaZ87]

Was his left foot caught by the defender? Looks like he trips himself up.

 

[omnomnom]

Quite possibly.

 

[C Kent]

Is there better angles, as the only one I've seen is that shot linked by bigwig and it looks like he trips himself

 

[robfosters]

Soft penalty for sure, but I highly doubt it would have made a difference to the result

 

[JamesH85]

Very weak pena, the fact he can land on his left foot, but chooses to let it give way, so he can go down and get the pena is just another example of how ****** diving has became in football these days. Every club does it though.

 

[fez]

Don't have any issue with that penalty. Hes vaulting over the leg and his foot is very much caught or at least looks to be. Thats nothing like the crap we have seen recently where players have been gently wafted and gone down theatrically.

No issue here either. Its a stupid challenge, why should Trossard have to jump over him anyway? Its a foul, its a penalty.

 

[Raymond Lin]

I imagine if City plays the same way today against Chelsea in the CL, against teams like Real Madrid, with the same chances that Chelsea created...instead of Jackson, Bellingham and Co would have smashed City for 3-0 at half time.

I saw a stat today that City only kept 2 clean sheets in the last 14 matches. That's a concern, that is with Rodri back as well.
