I’m impressed by their ability to stay calm when under, albeit against a very poor Chelsea on the day. Caballero gaffed on the first goal, and what happened between Caballero/Christensen looked very amateurish. You only play what’s in front of you, Chelsea were also very poor when we beat them at Old Trafford a few weeks ago - they are the fifth best team in the league and have thr 6th best home record.
Saying that, it is a big problem that referees aren’t seeing nasty tackles. With VAR, Lamela and Vertonghen would have been sent off yesterday, I think it happened at 1-1 and 1-2 respectively. Lamela follows through, it’s a red card - Vertonghen just goes in with too much force and could have broken Hazard’s leg - very nasty, from a player I like a lot.
At 1-1 with one more player on the pitch, Chelsea won’t lose that game. A huge, huge and important game decided by the inability from the referee(s) to see clear and obvious offences.
Retrospectively, will anything happen to either player? Pathetically, none of them even got yellow cards - Hazard wasn’t even given a free-kick!
