I don't think the chest thing is relevant tbh its whether it's deliberate or not that counts

For example, if a player uses his hands to stop the ball hitting his face, it's a penalty

It's negative gutless shite.

Compared to how we were a month ago it is very positive.

It's exactly the same chief. Plenty of possession but doing nothing worthwhile with it.

could easily have been given by an idiot.


if your arm is across your chest, it's never going to be given (by anyone other than an idiot).

Yes, running out of ideas and allowing a lower table team to hit us on the counter. Could see these chancers nicking a goal.

walter white jr is having an a1 day in goal for chelsea so far.

ffs, martial's had him on toast there

Martial needs to do better when he gets in that position.

Bad effort though

Press . Come on

Poor effort in the end, but keep getting the ball to him ffs.

We've got to make the most of this.

I know he scored a belter in the week, but he's not the cleanest striker of the ball I've seen.. Probably the only criticism you can have of him thus far..

It was hard to see how that team would even create a shooting chance led alone an actual chance. Won the ball and had to pass it across the back 4 20 times before they looked forward. it was passive and self defeating, this is much quicker and more assertive. Even if we are not creating much yet there is enough to suggest we will.

Come on lads. £#%&!

here he comes the diving little belgian shit. What min will he win the penalty then?
