GWT: PL Matchweek (mostly) 32 & 33 - not the Ndombele thread

[Evilo]

How do you not follow through when you punt the ball up the field lmao

He didn’t stamp either

No intent...

Now players are going to jump into players kicking the ball really.

 

[PanniniClaus]

How many of these ridiculous decisions are we going to endure?

Week in and week out we get these insane decisions.

 

[ZDH]

Worst ref in the PL, gtfo

 

[hatterson]

So new strategy to draw reds is just put your leg under someone who is clearing the ball and wait for them to step on you because it’s literally impossible to step anywhere else.

Yea, he is literally just kicking the ball and his foot came back down. There was no stomp, it wasn't a terrible tackle, etc.

 

[AB13]

First the no penalty call and then that. Tottenham, Sheffield, Brighton away, West Brom away, Southampton. Chelsea have been very lucky this season.

Yes, just lunge into players kicking the ball long so you can draw a red from them.

 

[Peen]

Ruined the game really

 

[TJ21]

What an absolutely atrocious decision, wow. How on earth are you supposed to pull away from that? Hes kicking the ball for f***s sake, it's not even a tackle, so calling it "still a reckless play" would be absurd. Hes just following through on a clear. Ridiculous

VAR has really been a disaster in the PL, just so terribly run and handled.

VAR has really been a disaster in the PL, just so terribly run and handled.

I’m starting to grow on the idea that referees are intentionally making awful calls to make VAR look bad and get rid of it.

 

[Peen]

I appreciate the balls ziyech has

 

[Havre]

I’m starting to grow on the idea that referees are intentionally making awful calls to make VAR look bad and get rid of it.

Sad when something this ridiculous is starting to become the only plausible explanation.

 

[hatterson]

5 minutes of stoppage times seems really low given that the stupid VAR stoppage was like 4 minutes on its own.

 

[Peen]

Surprised he wasnt sent off for that

 

[hatterson]

Oh, var better review that play. Another red on west ham.

 

[Blender]

So that one against Rudiger wasn't a red? Exact same play.

 

[SSF]

Thought west ham were gonna get super league'd there again on Coufal' follow through.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Incredible clearance from Tammy

 

[Peen]

ziyech is right to be irritated lmao

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Absolutely massive three points

 

[gary69]

Another Tuchel type of win.

 

[hatterson]

Chelsea were deservedly up 1-0, but West Ham can definitely feel robbed that they didn’t have a full team to push for the equalizer for the last 15 minutes.

 

[Blender]

Huge three points. We really controlled the first half and weathered the storm in the second. West Ham will surely feel hard done by with that terrible red card.

 

[Blender]

Another Tuchel type of win.

No one is going to accuse Tuchel of playing exciting or attacking football.
