As long as there are no technical issues with the VAR monitor then you'll be grand.Can see us having a good season.

Out of interest, What would you regard as a good season for Chelsea?
Improvement on last year. More points, closer to the top.
Hiw soon we forget Cucurella at Tottenham.As long as there are no technical issues with the VAR monitor then you'll be grand.
They have nothing. Awful team.
One if the worst refereeing decisions for a long time to gift them 3 points today. Ref should be ashamed, truly shocking.
No, I would say fourth would be amazing. We still have personnel versus style issues, and are very prone when certain players can’t go. With the weird congested WC season coming and all the cup ties… it’s going to be tight, even if we start to play better.That would be a good season but to say you expect that from what you’ve seen so far seems odd?

No it’s not a foul one bit. He barely grazed him.Hiw soon we forget Cucurella at Tottenham.
Im not saying West Ham shouldn’t feel aggrieved, and Mendy was absurd to lay there and hope for the foul, but trailing the foot on the goalie like that IS at least a foul. The Cucurella incident was bad enough Mike Dean had to issue an apology.
Despite the win, Chelsea look very toothless up top. If they’re hoping for Auba to be their saviour they could be in trouble. Struggling to score nearly every game.

The problem I see is that teams who want to play 5 at the back normally need exceptional world class players up front who can get the goals without needing overloads. But because chelsea are pretty thin in attack, they need constant overlaps and bodies forward to break teams down. The team will keep becoming unbalanced due to this.Very, very pedestrian. Too slow. Broja made an impact but West Ham we’re happy to just sit back and watch us pass sideways all day long. Very dull and irritatingly toothless.
Once we threw caution to the wind with Broja, Havertz, Sterling, Mount, James and Chilwell all on the pitch, we were pretty threatening, but we were in gung-ho mode with nothing to lose at that point.
Points totals for Chelsea last 5 seasons 74,67,66,72,70 won't be a bold statement to say Chelsea won't top the highest total there. Man City in current form are heading towards another mid to high 90 points season so Chelsea could well find themselves further off the top than last season.

No /s? I understand you're a Chelsea fan but what are you on about? in no way was that a foul.Great come back win. Onwards and upwards. Havertz on the score sheet. Chilwell looked good. Fofana played well.
For once var did the right thing for chelsea.Foul on gk free kick. Player was a fool. He has to jump instead rubbed him with his shoes.
Goal keeper on the floor put your boot in its a foul. That's the rule. Did I miss something here.No /s? I understand you're a Chelsea fan but what are you on about? in no way was that a foul.
Just because VAR has cost you points already this season, doesn't make that decision today the correct one.
It's not though, contact isn't a foulGoal keeper on the floor put your boot in its a foul. That's the rule. Did I miss something here.
Any mods to ban?Goal keeper on the floor put your boot in its a foul. That's the rule. Did I miss something here.
Why?Any mods to ban?
It was a bit tongue in cheek. But there's a difference between being wrong and blindly biased.Why?
I mean he's obviously wrong. But if being wrong was a reason to be banned on the Caf...
There is no bias mate. The player gave the opportunity to cancel the goal. As I said player was stupid to do that if that was chelsea player did that instead of Bowen to oppo goalie I would blame player only.It was a bit tongue in cheek. But there's a difference between being wrong and blindly biased.
The fight for top 4 will likely be decided by couple of points, decisions like this could cost some team up to a 100 million.
Well I would argue that things have already evened themselves out in the space of 4 games since we we’re screwed out of a win by VAR on the Spurs game. Antonio should arguably have been sent off before he scored too, so lots of iffy decision all round in this game.
I think that’s a bit of a stretch comparing a legitimate goal being ruled out with the hair pull?
How is it? Spurs don’t score if ref gives the foul as he should. Or do you want exact identical situations for it to even itself out?
One led indirectly to a goal (you had a corner to defend and didn’t do it after the decision) the other was a decision made incorrectly for an actual goal.
Surely you see the difference?
Semantics.
So you don’t see a difference?
Chelsea would have had 3 points against Spurs if the ref makes the correct call, do you disagree?
You’re just being daft now. Take off the blue tinted specs. I was as angry as anyone with the Cucerella incident (check my posts) but to not acknowledge the difference between the two incidents is silly.
One indirectly leads to a goal in a different passage of play. The other is the actual goal itself.
