So a defender can literally wrestle someone to the ground and it’s not a foul?

 

[Lob]

Definitely jinxed everton. Arguably our best play this season and God knows how long he will be out and just before we lose 2 of our other best players to a cup that does absolutely nothing for everton. Depressing.

That’s a pen

If he tried to run away and went down with his shirt being pulled like that there’s a decision to be made.

More terrible officiating

 

[IllinoisBlue]

Ref is playing to 2 different standards.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Ffs thought Barry was supposed to be like Eto'o now that he's broken his duck?

Wrong team being fouled

 

[Houghty19]

Ref has been shockingly home biased already. How he saw the foul on gueye as nothing us amazing and the dragging down of Ndiaye just beggars belief

Not any defender no

Thing is Chelsea are distinctly average.
They aren’t the Chelsea of old

Their good footballers and if you let them play football they can be a very good side.

Moyes crapped the bed with team selection. Which was designed to defend for its life. 4 cbs across the back line and then playing gana who completely imbalances the midfield and leaves gaps everywhere.

We needed to set up like we did against Bournemouth and not let them settle and play their game. This team selection has just played into their hands

 

[Tommy Chong]

Oh wow… He actually gave the foul against Gana.

 

[Rita_Poon]

fk us, garner in, Tarkowski heads wide. oh no!

Clattenberg would probably agree with that!

 

[Titus Shambles]

Chelsea playing a 3-4-3 and using two wide players on both flanks to smash our vulnerable full backs..

So in other words... they're well coached and have a well-thought-out, winning tactical plan.

It's a cracking idea, I wonder if it'll ever catch on at the mighty EFC...

So a defender can literally wrestle someone to the ground and it’s not a foul? It's what happens when you play a sky darling.
