All hope was gone the second I saw the XI

And it only got worse from there

Yet you still tuned in because....hope.

Silly

Not ideal, but I'll take it I guess. Would've much rather a draw so we were closer to both when we take 3 points Monday

Kane >>> Haaland.

Age aside I'd definitely take him over Haaland. He's much more influential in his team's play and doesn't just wait for someone to pass him the ball.

Agreed. He does a lot more than "just" scoring goals.

Luton go up 1-0 aat 82 minutes. Yikes.

Hilarity in Vancouver as the Whitecaps are dumped out of the MLS playoffs by LAFC. Down a goal late with the Whitecaps pressing, the ref gets in the way and knocks Schopf down as he goes to volley a ball just outside the box. With the Caps' keeper up as an extra attacker, LAFC collects the ball and goes the other way and scores... only for the goal to be disallowed for offside.

Without the keeper that 2nd defender for offside gets a little trickier aha. It would be tough to realize that you had to stay behind the ball in that circumstance, in all fairness

Hopefully Chelsea can still win on xG.

This game is a clusterf***.

That 4 waved off already? Lol.

Hopefully Milan can qualify for Europa.

Tottenham are imploding. Luckily for them Chelsea's attack is so bad they may still get a point here.

 

[TCTC]

Can't believe Tottenham are still playing a high line with 9 men.

Sterling is trash

Sitting back and absorbing pressure would almost certainly lead to defeat. This at least gives us a chace.

Sitting in a block is way better than this. Chelsea are easily sending guys through on goal.

Vicario's doing a fine job coming out of his goal intercepting passes. But way too risky, imo.

Chelsea are trash. This should be a blowout.
