Chelsea at the bridge day AKA I’m very nervous

 

I thought this was odd in some of the punditry. I was watching the highlights and thinking that him being short isn't making the rest of the team defend like litter caught in the breeze.

 

In other news, I'm far too warm, my legs ache, I possibly have mild sunstroke (if not, then common or garden dehydration). This Chelsea Spurs game better be a good one to watch.

 

Pretty much yeah.

 

How did the ref not call that a foul in real time? Lol

 

Looked more like a collision than a foul to me.

Defender was trying to defend the ball which was right in front of him and Antonio came charging in and collided with him, impeding his ability to defend. It was clumsy by Antonio.

 

I get what you're saying, but the defender was a few yards from Rice so didn't stop him doing anything. No Forest player was switched on to defending that, clumsy by Antonio and Forest get away with some poor defending.

 

I don’t disagree that Forest were in a bad spot dealing with that counter, but Antonio still cannot do that. Like, to me it doesn’t matter what else happened before or after that, defender was in his position and Antonio ran in, collided with him, and extended both arms and sent the defender to the ground. That’s a foul every time. It sucks for West Ham because they may have scored anyways, but you gotta call it.

 

Is Henderson at Forest on loan or did they buy him?

 

I love these forest kits have no sponsor on the front.

 

Much better start from west ham this half

 

maybe not lol

edit: nvm he looks offside

 

I feel like that’s a penalty but I never know what is or isn’t a handball these days

 

Forest's last ditch defending has been other wordly.

 

on loan

 

Coys

 

Koulibaly!

 

That's an unbelievably good finish.

 

Spurs started so well and are now just floundering

 

Chelsea press set up very well and we can’t do anything

 

We can barely make it across midfield. This is painful

 

Defense held up well despite being under pressure the entire half. Need to sort out the build up, obviously.

 

Jamal Musiala already with two *insane* plays today. One a lengthy dribble down the sideline past 4 Wolfsburg players, and a second for this goal at the top of the box.
