Has Ramires stopped celebrating yet?

i was having a chuckle to myself about the hart kick outs to sagna, over the last two seasons chelseas m.o. was to kick out up to Ivanovich for knock downs, and poor silva was the guy trying to jump with him. it looks like we adopted their tactic to some degree yesterday - i also believe we used it effectively gaining some good possession from joes kicking.

i think we mixed it up well, if we tried to keep playing out from the back chelsea would have been closing us down a lot more aggressively. visions of stuttgart there :(

I agree Sagna was fantastic and won that battle all night

retrospective ban?

Otherway round yes. But for us. NO.

Perhaps I'm being cynical and there did appear to be something running down his face (aside from tears) albeit not the back/side of his head which he was holding but was Costa really bleeding?

this is where the diving debate rears its ugly head. With little/no fuss from the victim you get no replays or no notice and live with the kudos of being a decent player (for whatever it's worth in the game now). If he'd gone down and done some writhing, even if the ref had ignored him, the SKY cameras would not have and Costa may have got some comeuppance. who knows. just move on i say.
