GWT: PL Matchweek 26 - Zack Snyder Extended Cut

[bleedblue1223]

Tammy, Hudson-Odoi, Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, and basically Kante were out injured. This is exactly what you'd expect.

I wouldn't call it a train wreck, that would be if this was our actual ideal starting 11. And the refs were beyond awful in this game. Harry should've been off early in the game.

 

[bluesfan94]

Fred has had a really good game.

To be fair, he had one huge mistake he got away with

Kante will be back for LFC, because of course.

Playing Bats over Giroud does not make sense

They both suck though. Neither should be near the starting 11 of any top 4 contender.

And United are without Rashford, Pogba and McTominay. All key players.

 

[Blender]

Missing a bunch of starting quality players and embarrassing officiating = trainwreck.

 

[Aladyyn]

Fred has had a really good game.

Seems to be pretty standard these days

I agree it is not a train wreck, but I would see those injuries and raise you with all the mess Spurs have had (even if right now it is OK in terms of injuries).

Pretty sure Chelsea will wake up again. Beat Spurs, win another and it looks more than decent again.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Ok, but I wasn't referring to United or this game, just people calling Chelsea a train wreck. I wasn't expect us to win this one.

Utd are decimated too though. Rashford, McTominay and Pogba are key for them.

Haven't been this angry at the refereeing of a game since this exact fixture in 2012.

Also, is there a different rule re: blowing whistle at an injury for keepers? Because it wasn't a head injury and Chelsea still had possession, so Anthony Taylor blowing the whistle seemed like a load of f***ing horseshit to me.

 

[AB13]

If a popular member of the English national team is involved in a controversial situation, the referees and VAR will always, without exeption, be there to protect the English ”good lad”.

 

[SSF]

Maguire not even looking at the camera and looking down when offering that weakass defense haha.

He was just trying to hold up Batshuyai

 

[Jussi]

United and Chelsea have faced each other three times this season, league and cup, United have won all games with 8-0 goal difference.

Clearly the superior team

It’s based on if they determine it’s a serious injury or not.

Head usually means serious, but not always. And non-head can be serious.

I agree that an injury like de geas isn’t usually blown dead if it’s an outfield player, but no one wants to see a goal go in while the keeper is rolling in the ground from something that occurred 30 seconds prior. If Chelsea had been actively in the box, he may have kept it going, but given that it got recycled and they were setting up for the second chance, it was a good time to blow it.

[JeffreyLFC]

Wow just saw the kick by Maguire! No red card!?

With VAR?!? That is textbook red card. How could that be possible. All the referees on the field and the VAR need to be investigated. That is the worst decision this year.

 

[Havre]

But Rudiger broke 7 or 8 ribs so....

it's baffling
I am [was?] a proponent of VAR but with what's happening this year [does a weekend's worth of fixtures go by without a VAR controversy?] I'd rather have no replay at all...

 

[Live in the Now]

Not giving a red card for that kick is the most insane thing this season. Completely defies explanation.

Then in the post-match slabhead said he kicked Bats so that he didn't fall on top of him.

 

[Havre]

The only good thing about VAR is that when it disappears fans and pundits will accept that refs make mistakes.

In my opinion VAR came around because pundits spent so much time complaining about decisions. It became a spiral impossible to get out of. Refs have always been talked about, but not like they have the last 5-10 years.

Yeah - I know VAR won´t go away, but I like to be the naive optimist at times.

 

[Live in the Now]

VAR works in every league except this one, so I don't accept that.
