GWT: Matchweek 19

[Blender]

Hazard!

Edit2: Well guess he wasn't fully up for coming back on. Hopefully it's just a bruise.

geez he is being wheeled off to the ambulance now getting gas & air.

If the physo let him go back onto the field with something series (broken rib maybe?) that would not be good.

Kabasele taken from the bench to the exit on a stretcher with an oxygen mask on.

Hopefully Kabasele is alright, that sounds bad.

 

[Halladay]

sweet goal.

 

[davemess]

Very nice finish, 1-1

 

[Blender]

Really great goal by Pereyra. Kicked that one out of the air.

I was just about to say how I'm not too worried about Chelsea picking up 3 points because Watford is always good at managing to stay in games at home.

Great goal Watford!

I'm interested to see what Callum Hudson-Odoi can do with a full 45 minutes of time. Hopefully Pedro is ok though.

 

[hatterson]

Looking at the replays it seems Kabasele was sliding beside the net, but his cleats caught the net and it kinda spun him a bit into the post. Seemed like he got bent over backwards on the post a bit.

Stayed down for several minutes, finally sat up, walked around, and then came back on the pitch. But basically right away went down again and went off. Spent the next 20 or so minutes on the bench before being wheeled off on a stretcher from there with an oxygen mask on.

On the bright side, the medical staff didn't seem to be in a hurry with the stretcher and all seemed to be walking at a normal pace, so hopefully it's not too serious.

He did seem to be flexing his right arm when he came back on the pitch the first time, and then held it at his side when he went down again which makes you think some sort of nerve pinch or similar and is always scary when a back gets bent like that.

Could this be the week that Kovacic plays 90? Stay tuned!

Spoiler: he won't

 

[hatterson]

Chelsea playing with fire by repeatedly playing out of the back. They've been inches from being burned on 3 or 4 occasions.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Lmao get up Deulofeu

 

[hatterson]

That's actually a really good no call on the pen claim. Those are given far more often than not.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Now that's a penalty!

 

[Blender]

Hazard x2.

Blatantly obvious penalty.

 

[hatterson]

Yea that's just a bad challenge by Foster. Shouldn't have come out.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

f***ing hilarious foul from Foster

 

[Blender]

****ing hilarious foul from Foster

Why even do that? Hazard wasn't going to be at the best angle and there was a defender there. He had a better chance making a stop on the play than with a penalty.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

For an immense man, Deeney goes over real easy.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

So close from Kante, wicked ball

 

[hatterson]

Deeney had the leveler on his foot.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Could this be the week that Kovacic plays 90? Stay tuned!

Spoiler: he won't

Ugh what'd I f***ing say

 

[hatterson]

Feels like there's zero chance this game ends 2-1. Either Watford equalize while pushing or them open themselves up too much and get hit on the counter.
