You sound like someone who has never played the game, at any level. You have to draw the foul when hazard goes on the run. City do it all the time. Breaks the play up.

Draw the foul? Really. I bow to your superior knowledge (you having played the game at some level), but I think that means the player inviting a challenge and encouraging the opposition player to foul him.

I think what you mean is just making a decision to foul the attacking player

But I could be wrong. You're the expert.
 
Terrible free kick. The winning run had to end sometime. The league match should be more favourable for us
 
Frustrating result.
- Chelsea have become like a proper Italian team - dirty fucking diving cunts.
- The game was decided well before Hazard score his worldie on two horrible calls by Friend - a penalty on Shaq (I thought the call was fair, but he called a foul on Hendo for doing it to Hazard) & the foul on Moses by Keita, which was clean.
- We were the better team for most of the game, which is reassuring.
- Moreno is horrible - not really to blame for Hazard's goal but he is a waste of space and we need better to back up Robbo.
- We missed too many chances. Studge missed a sitter and had three really good passes to him that he miscontrolled (1) and couldn't run onto (2). Decent back up ... but we probably need better.
- Shaq is a stud.
 
Shaq was ace. Thought Keita showed in patches the player we want to see. Henderson was fucking ace after he came on. And the 2 second string centre backs were excellent, all in all. Props to Mongolet as well. He did alright for me.

I don't get this. What is the point of VAR if offside, even marginally, is not given ? And Barkley was offside, a clear 1/2 yd ahead of Firmino in the centre. THis apart from the Keita foul/not a foul.

Yup, it was offsides - but maybe it has to be blatant or something?
 
However all things considered there was a lot to like, considering we had 2-3 first team players for most of the game vs. 5-6 of Chelsea's. I can't for a moment believe that we won't take the 3 points at the weekend.

Fabinho looks calm & strong on the ball and he passes beautifully out of defence. Keita looks so much better when he isn't committed to defending, he just seems to glide past players, and Shaqiri we know all about by now. I even thought Clyne had a very good game and so did Mignolet for all the stick he seems to be getting for God only knows what.

Agree with all of this. Thought Fabinho grew into the game and was much better second half. Clyne was excellent, and good to see that our second string CBs aren't that shabby. That being said, you just feel we wouldn't have conceded the first somehow if big Virge was there.
