THe replay shows it as basically nothing less than a flying kick that, before he landed, turned into a two footed tackle, with huge speed going in and getting so far off the ground. Considering for a month or two anything two footed got a straight red not quite sure how he didn't go off. If Sturridge hadn't completely jumped out the way, firstly I have no idea if he'd have a broken leg, or two, and secondly I couldn't see it not being a red.
OTher than that, pretty awful game, Chelsea had Mata, Merieles, Lampard on the bench.... and brought on Cole, Mikel and Mata for Kalou who while not great was a damn site more useful than Sturridge and Malouda, can only thank Di Matteo for playing for a draw... though why they did that I don't have a clue. They caught us on the break SO many times in the first half but the final ball was usually dreadful, if they played the same second half with Mata/Lampard on, I would think they could have won quite easily.
Chamberlain constantly looks like he's trying to hard, and I think that is the result of, only getting starts when someone else wasn't available, being dropped the second someone else was available and feeling like his only way back in is to come on and get a hattrick. Wenger does this to so many younger players its a joke, while letting other players who are utter **** have certain starts, all the confidence they need and never dropping them when they need to be.
