It's crazy how Chelsea are still struggling against 9 men. A smarter team would've put this game to bed a long time ago.

Only get text commentary, but this is the most insane game log I have ever seen.

Mudryk SBC? Looks like you're not getting that upgrade. @Starat327

I know a Chelsea player is never getting upgraded (unless they start awarding wins for xG?). I got him with the knowledge what you see is what you get.

Only took two reds. Congrats.

Hopefully Milan can qualify for Europa.

Chelsea wishes.

Spurs almost got this to a draw lol. Worst 3-1 win I’ve ever seen.

 

[TCTC]

Genuinely one of the worst performances by a team playing against 9 men I've seen.

 

[Striiker]

Only took two reds. Congrats.

The refs did the SBC too

 

[Starat327]

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

A block would have killed us. We can't break a block to save our lives. See: Brentford and Forest.

We can, however, counter pressure. See: Arsenal.

 

[Halladay]

Spurs barely beat Liverpool when they were down to 9 players, needed the refs to make that happen. Such is life in the Premiere League this season.

Tim Howard might be the worst pundit on TV.

Ahem.

 

[BigToe]

Ahem.

Worst 4-1 win. I'm sorry, Stat.

Chelsea wishes.

Chelsea have won the CL twice and the Europa once since Milan have even been in a European final.

Wishing about being in a competition is small club mentality befitting of Milan, though.

On the bright side they probably wouldn’t have had the guns to beat a 9 man side if they had to prepare for a midweek game this week.

What a shit show and yet somehow Eric f***ing Dier almost tied it down 2 men. Hopefully Romero only gets 1 game and hopefully Madison was taken out for precautionary reasons. Micky's looked bad. That one is going to hurt. He's been their best player in a lot of games this year. The whole season falls apart in 10 minutes. f***.

Can only play the team in front of you. Is Chelsea supposed to bend the rules of the game and forgive red cards now, too?

Will they adjust the xG standings to account for it? 11v11 only?

Shrug. I use it as a measure of play, not a gospel. You'd have to ask some stat nerd.

What an absolutely gross game. On many levels. I stopped watching after Udogie was sent off. I was working out on the bike while watching and there's no reason I have to suffer physically AND emotionally at the same time.

If van de Ven's injury is as bad as it looked Spurs are seriously screwed. And if Maddison's injury is even a little serious they're even more seriously screwed.

I hope de Vens injury isn't too severe. It looked a lot more "see you in April" than "see you after the international break" but I'm hoping for the best here.

First Man City game of the season tonight... and first since last December.

Only spent 5 days in England since early January... and they were in summer.

So looking forward to it even if a nothing game. And flying out again on Friday so no Prem games for me this time around.

 

[Starat327]

I swear I try not to be a conspiracy theory guy, but man, its tough sometimes.

After getting demoted to the Championship for his poor performances in the PL, Anthony Taylor had this howler of a call to make himself the star of the game, as he does:



And now he gets promoted and jumps right back into... City v Chelsea this weekend?

TERZIC OUTTTTTTTTTTT

HOLY SHIT SO BAD

Enjoy your 87 Mudryk. I just traded my whole club for this beautiful head of hair in the middle.
