Mate Iwobi could take a crap in the centre circle and you would praise him for his progressive crapping.

Well that would mean he's playing in midfield so he'd probably have been doing progressive things. It's all he knows.

how in the hell the ref was ok with both teams having white shorts? can't pull that off in UEFA comps

 

[WestStandLower]

Let's call it as it was.... Sterling took a dive, the ref should have booked him, and only he knows why he didn't.

There is a country mile between a player losing their balance and simulation, just about every player facing their own goal even if there is even limited contact goes down and that in line with the laws of the game is a booking. Chillwell is particularly guilty of it but he is far from alone in that .

Do I think Sterling is guilty at times of simulation? Yep he is. I probably won’t think that so much now that he plays for us but at most yesterday the ref shouldn’t have given a foul but I genuinely think he was falling but hey it’s football and we all have opinions and all tend it though our open bias

 

[atypicalusername]

LOL

Really?

He didnt win a header, he didnt hold up a single ball.

He was beyond bad.

He won a flick on in the first half to play in Gray but the defender had it. He was unlucky and will be kicking himself for missing the header from the cross but he showed good springs. Also he held the ball up and worked the channel that was a 50/50 for doucoure to have a shot or the defender to clear from the low cross/pass Gordon delivered.

Still disappointed we couldn’t execute when we had the couple of chances, but especially disappointed in the penalty that put Chelsea up 1-0. I think we are a better team than last season and we still have, hopefully, Gana, Onana, Coady, and a striker coming in. I don’t believe this team will do anything too amazing but I believe we will be in a much more comfortable spot.

 

[lieneverton]

Obviously they were the better team overall but disappointed we didn't get something. Squandered some very good positions.

With the upcoming re-enforcements I think we'll be OK. Not great, but OK.

 

[Haydn]

We gave up the ball cheaply so many times in mid-field. They should have battered us.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

I think they will be right up there again mate. Could even see them coming 2nd tbh.

Maybe. Tuchel is a good coach.

I think we will be good and will beat some top six teams this season.

 

[deipnosophist]

I have just seen the score...I think we'll be ok this season

 

[wandyr79]

Better than I thought, could say we were unlucky not to come away with point.
