Premier League Games 10/11 Nov

[doobyedoobye]

Liverpool and Chelsea are looking tired..

This isn’t even football for me. Its just a bunch of grown men kicking each other and feigning injury

So, Stricly Come Dance, then? ;-)

Almost entirely to favour Chelsea.

Always favours the bigger team. Us included. Refs I think assume the lower team’s dragged down are just regular fouls whereas better team’s players being dragged down are regular fouls plus cynical tactics. So they just call the later as fouls. At least that’s been my theory for years, including when we were the lower club and getting no decisions at all.

Saying we are unfavoured by refs today forgets imo how bad it was years ago.

It was bad years ago, completely agree, but I think Sane and Kevin would disagree about being favoured by referees.

Fucking hell some of those tackles

 

[Gazza]

Just listening to Souness talk sense at half time - then Jamie Redknapp started talking so I turned off.

Jorginho is the maestro in the chav team he says,erm ok then

NBCSN didn’t even bother replaying the Alonso tackle, as it didn’t fit the “poor challenges from both teams” narrative. They just showed the Jorginho “tackle” and Bernard-Rudiger incident, indicating it should be 10v10 at the half. Which is funny, given Rudiger instigated the Bernard borderline headbutt by fouling and then slapping him in the face.

So, if the laws of the game were applied, it would be 10v9 in favour of Everton.

I'm telling you now, if that was Ferdy they wouldn't be talking about how he's the Maestro of City...
