Oh yes - absolute knob-jockey. Totally.

Time travel!

Chelsea pressing much higher up the pitch tonight versus last time we played them. Not convinced tonight's fixture has an abundance of goals in it.

[stokeriño]

Or we could just concede as many penalties as Spurs need.

[Matt]

The fuck were the Chelsea players arguing about? It's literally just been watched back numerous times on camera and it was a penalty. You trying to argue against video evidence now? Silly cunts.

[Lineker]

Love VAR.

It would be great if the ref took a player over to the little review screen and said "Look at that you daft cunt, clean pen"

Collina would do it.

The Postiga comment made me laugh.

[Colly]

Is Joe Cole a bit simple? He's trying to excuse Kepa by suggesting he's seen a linesman flag, or even just his defenders appealing for offside. 6 year olds are taught to play to the whistle. Robbie Keane called him a knob.

93 seconds and they only looked at the FIFA 94 isometric angle? VA Shite more like.

Sarri is totally right here. They used the wrong angle, he was offside. We don’t know how to use VAR.

Well that's just super.

That farce aside, I quite liked our performance. Our usual dominate-possession thing actually involved a number of shots on target for once (even if most of them were fairly tame and straight at the keeper).

Taking a one-goal deficit to a second leg at home - especially when away goals no longer count extra - isn't the worst thing, but as always we need to be much better in front of goal if we're going to have any hope of getting one goal, let alone two. If the Chelsea that drew 0-0 at home to Southampton turn up then we're fucked.

How did Hudson-Odoi play?

[Lineker]

He's brilliant. Chelsea should be starting to build around him for when Hazard inevitably ends up going to Madrid.
