Today's football.

The rules state that if a player is pulled back outside the area but the offence carries on into the area then a penalty is the correct decision.

Dowd was correct in the pen and red card. The defender comittied the red card offence, Dowd played on to see if Wickham could go onto score, he didn't and you have to take into the consideration he was pulled back which had an influence on that. Dowd then took it back for the pen and red card.

If Wickham had scored after the advantage i do believe the defender would not have been shown a red.

No it's not, it's where the 1st contact is made, listen to talkSport and they spoke to a formor Ref who said Dowd was wrong

Rodgers on the defence there lol

Tweaking the team in a big game.... Sturridge in the bench.

Tomas Kalas (who?) and Ivanovic centre backs for Chelsea today.

He's always been a bit mental fabio, he's just bit good enough for anyone to care

He never played last game I think with an injury as it's the same team against Norwich

K'inell Jose.

Norwich though. Banker. And they still conceded 2.

That Chelsea team looks okay. Just the young lad at centre half that's a worry.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Schwarzer; Azpilicueta, Kalas, Ivanovic, Cole; Matic, Mikel, Lampard; Salah, Ba, Schurrle

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Still a very strong team tbh
