The crazy part with Caicedo is not only was he shit yesterday but he resorted to just being a dirty shit all game. Ended up leaving one in on Endo late on too it turns out. Escaped a card because the ref managed to get fooled by cup final mind games from never won shit Pochettino. ****ing loser. Almost ashamed the club was willing to spend that much on him too. Bullet dodged not having that tit stinking up the dressing room. They were on the seats for them I believe. And now I guess they'll be in a big bin.
Watching that first VVD goal disallowed again. It doesn't make any more sense. The idea they're saying Colwill was being stopped from doing anything is ridiculous. Colwill is barely even trying. Endo is just standing there, there is no doubt in my mind that can be deemed to be interfering. If that happens in a random league game it isn't even thought of. Insane. Thankfully they scored a goal they couldn't figure out a reason to chalk off. VAR when they feel like it. Twats.
Couldn't work out in real time why the first VVD goal was ruled out, and the big screens as usual in the ground show nothing of the footage being used to make the decision. Having seen a replay since, I'm still f**king baffled as to why it was chalked off. The reason given is tenuous at best. More VAR bullshit. We've almost become desensitised to it these days. A game without a VAR f**k up is unusual.
Loving seeing the meltdowns saying that the average age of Liverpool was 25, and the average age of Chelsea was 24. The players of Chelsea were worth millions of pounds bought from other clubs, whilst Liverpool players were bought from Academies and developed in our academies.
The fact Colwill didn't even appeal tells you the full story. A bit like when Ben Mee didnt appeal with the disallowed goal v Burnley a few months back, if "fouled against" players not appealing, surely he's not been fouled. Colwill is getting absolutely nowhere near Van Dijk, with or without Endo being there. Chilwell is his marker and he got nowhere near him. Thankfully it didnt cost us and Van Dijk scored an almost identical goal, as if to say, "disallow that then you twats"
You would have thought conceding that disallowed goal we would have learnt something……. Nope we put 5’11 Chilwell to mark a 6’4 player and look surprised he scored.
Dishonourable mention to the absolutely weak as piss guy that has captained Chelsea the last two times against Liverpool. At Anfield he just left the child mascot awkwardly alone. And then yesterday he tried to pick on two youngsters playing against him because he couldn't get near them. Chelsea have a crock as captain, and some dorky bully as vice.
Right outcome but the wrong journey for me. They ruled it out for offside when in reality it should just be for a foul. We play football, not American football. We don't have defensive linemen in football. Endo was standing with his back to goal showing zero intention of playing the ball. It has to be called up for a foul. I appreciate 'stuff happens' all the time (we do a lot of nonsense) but that was too brazen yesterday. It was right to be punished.
If you want to argue that's it ok for players to stand there and make absolutely no attempt to play a football in a game of football, you do you boo. I could not care less what reaction Colwill has, I think it's a foul and I think it's a correct call
OK I think it isn't at all and the fact it wasn't even given a foul, and the offended player themselves didn't react at all, shows it isn't either boo x
Only just had the time to read through a few of the posts ,my condolences Machida to you and yours on such a devastating loss and yes football can in indeed be beautiful. Take care fella.
If offside is called, it being a foul or not is irrelevent. Offside supercedes any subjective call. So no, it's not a case of them 'never giving it as a foul'. We never got to find out because offside came first. My point is if it had got to that point, I think it should be called back for a foul. Because I believe that any player making absolutely zero attempt to play the football and is making an attempt to stop an opponent from doing it should be penalised. That is what was happening with Endo yesterday.
