How is it considered to be proper defending, not even facing the ball at a corner? Yes, you Declan Rice, who was also very lucky to not have a penalty awarded against him for handball just moments before the goal.

That pen and red card has just about ruined me and football

Have a feeling this end to the season is going to be death by a thousand cuts.

Crap Var decisions and wanky or outright servile refereeing is part of the reason we've surrendered an 11 point lead in record time. But it's only a small part.  The cartel mob (particularly the Redscouse and Redmancs) usually get that kind of helping hand anyway.

Lack of adequate succession planning is a bigger factor when Kamara (who is no stranger to injury) gets injured and our season hits the skids. Shouldn't really be that way three years in.

Chelsea equalise.
Great delicate header by Hincapie though.

The Summer we had no money though. We got 2 loans in 2 frees and Guessand who was a clown choice. We've ended up selling Malen to buy Abraham, we've basically spent no funds on anything but wages for 4 years. How can you succession plan for Kamara?

Not spunking £50 mill on Onana just because he played in the Premier League would be a good start.

It would be exceptionally difficult to source a replacement as good as Kamara, granted. But we should've been on the lookout for a competent player who plays in a similar manner.

In fairness to Onana that's not really his game.

I think Bogarde is probably part of the succession planning for Kamara, people just might not like that reality.

Gykorkes (or however it's spelt). Cheating git.
and also has the stupidest, most embarrassing and contrived goal celebration in the league/Europe or possibly even the entire universe - thank God we don't see it very often.

Three goals from a combined distance of about 2 yards. Don't you just love modern football

Because the refs have destroyed open play by allowing wrestling all over the pitch. Games now get decided by set pieces.
Boring.
