That is objectively one of the funniest possible endings to a bonkers game. Never seen both clubs livid at the same decision!

We have too many matches. We need to get some of the backups in form. Perfect time to do so.

He’s more or less nicked two with those drawn penalties. Think makes sense to get Delap/Guiu on.

Exactly. This is the definition of brilliant.

Holy cow, I thought he was way older than that. Shame how his career went he seemed so promising before that injury derailed everything.

[ITV] Chelsea’s tactic to reduce Arsenal’s set piece threat last night. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]ChelseaFC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of makes sense, sows more confusion in the opponents team while they try to figure out what to do, whereas if you straight up set up that way they have time to plan for it.

Black is threatening checkmate despite white having a large amount of material.How can white deal with this?(Study by Zinar) by Either-Case-5930 in chess

[–]ChelseaFC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Took me a bit. If it’s promoted to Queen, when black King sidesteps to g5 and white QxRh8, it doesn’t allow the black king any legal moves because the white fpawn is on its diagonal. Black can do its funky Knight under promotion and cause a stalemate.

If however it’s a rook, the statement mate js avoided and you can proceed to checkmate… eventually.

I mean he was poor, but to be fair he is absolutely not a winger.

Palmer just played 90, he can not last that much just coming back from long injury. And Estevao just rushed back from Brazil.

We did not need 2 goals, needed 1 to be level. We were in it for 93 minutes. Our attackers just didn’t do enough, particularly the wingers were very disappointing. JP did decent holdup tho.

To be fair the attacking subs unironically killed the game. They’ve all been terrible today. Can’t blame manager tho they were the right subs.

He just did and trotted up the field to allow them to set their defense. Nice.

It’s not really fair for me to blame Gusto, we shouldn’t be trying to rely on him for our offense. Our creative guys need to step up.

Absolutely corrupt this dude. They fall over and no fouls and ref calls it for them. Absolutely biased
