@dude3pt0@TheSunFootball How do you know it wasn't looked at and they agreed with the on field decision so play on? Just because the ref doesn't go to the screen doesn't mean it wasn't looked at.
Watching this Chelsea game one of the old issues is back. They are missing simple passes. The ball still gets to the player but slightly behind them or off to one side so by the time the player adjusts to get the pass the defenders get in position and stop the build up.
Santos, Lavia, and Garnacho had a chance to really establish themselves as solid squad players who could give starters a rest against "weaker" teams...they did not take it.
On the long list...the most annoying thing about that game was a clear aversion to a tactic that was actually working. Playing the ball long, over the press worked almost every time they actually tried it. But apparently it is more important to "play pretty" than win these days.
@Daytonflyers18 Especially with that response. Estevao looks like something special and at the risk of jinxing him Delap plays long balls very much like Drogba did. He wants the defender on his back.
@Daytonflyers18 well not happy it came at the expense of Palmer and yes, it was West Ham, but maybe we should have had Delap and Joao Pedro out there together at the end of the Palace game. ๐
I was only able to listen on the radio but thought that game was a chance for Maresca to make a statement of intent and have Delap and Pedro on at the end when it was obvious Palace was sitting back. May not win but at least show that mentality.
@BaileyCarlin@morgfair That js a perk of most government jobs. And they aren't "forgiven" until you make 10 years worth of payments while employed in a qualifying position. This is not a new program it has been around for almost 20 years.
