Was that Abraham on the goal line?

He seems very uncoordinated, like Bambi on ice

No, but there was interference from a player who was in an offside position.
I'm confused then. So what does that image show?

If anything, he's helping Chelsea by making the finish that much harder.

Rudiger kicking that out for a corner and Abraham swiping at that attempted goal line clearance made me think I switched over to Comedy Central.

The guy that scored seemed onside.
There looked to be approximately like 15 offsides on that play :lol:

Anyways, antonio position obviously interfered in the play and he was offside on the final shot. He also looked offside when soucek fumbled the ball against him the first time around

Some weird decision making for added time in this and our game earlier.

Chelsea have looked better without ever looking rampant. Their defence looks there for the taking if there was a striker of decent capability in West Ham.

Not sure how they'd cope with Martial-Rashford-Greenwood

Chelsea just aren't that great. They are a weirdly effective side. They dont get many shots away or work many goal scoring positions but they tend to score.
And the opposite is true. Only City have more shots and concede fewer.

The last few games would suggest badly. There’s always the FA Cup to really prove the point!

Chelsea will win this 4 minutes into injury time with a goal that var should rule out but inexplicably doesn’t

After watching it again, Pulisic “won” the penalty. He initiated the contact. Diop was just dumb, but Pulisic has been watching his Vardy tapes.
I thought it was a clear penalty.

Tammy Abraham looks like Bambi on ice tonight. I won't be surprised if Frank brings him off at ht. He is either really good or bad, there's no in between at all.

West Ham must win this one for us. With such a GK as Kepa it’s possible

Not sure why that offside is getting everyone so upset.

Looked like the correct decision to me. Antonio was off and interfering with play.

Like someone mentioned in here, surely the issue is more Antonio being in Azpi's way. He may not have affected Kepa but he definitely impeded Azpi

Wow just seen that disallowed goal what a bag of shit.

They tell you time and time again VAR is for clear and obvious errors. There is nothing clear and obvious in that what an absolute piss take.

Tbh, as much as I'd love that to have been a goal I can't see how he isn't interfering.

There should be a time limit for VAR decisions. If they can't decide within 30 seconds the goal stands.

It's definitely offside.

Similar thing happened with us at Everton and the was also offside... So yeah

Abraham when on form is decent, when off form he is utter horrendous. Nowhere near good enough for a team wanting to challenge for the title. At all. How anyone can think different is quite frankly, moronic. He's a striker who is top drawer in the champ, but so-so in the prem. Much as i wish he makes it with us and stays, i just dont think hes our level... To think people did not want us to sign a striker, Werner or anyone, because we had Abraham. The mind boggles

Interfering with play isn't simply blocking the goalies vision. Antonio was directly in front of Kepa which meant Kepa could not come forward to close the angle of the shot because if he did he would be standing on the torso of Antonio, who was in an offside position. It's quite simple really.
