Premier League 2023-2024

Cucurella looks out of his depth at Chelsea. He had one season at Brighton and Chelsea paid 50m.

I think potter seems a bit out of his depth too.

Probably is. They had some good results in Europe but they have been very poor in the League. He brought on a few young players who gave mo,re then some of the egos like Aubameyang.

Chelsea with 9 players out injured and Potter has adopted a squad that needs overhauled. I'm not sure it's going to work out but he needs time.

He needs a clean slate and to be able to ship out big names and given full control like Ten Hag is getting at United. Potter a really good manager but whether he'll be able to handle big egos or even if he will be allowed to is another thing. That owner seems like a tool who will stick his nose in too much.

And one thing Chelsea are good at is giving managers time!

New owner might have more patience than Roman Abramovich had.

More fa cup but that wood miss was a shocker. You won't see many worse.

Obviously they are focusing on 3rd

Obviously they are focusing on 3rd

Or league cup quarter final next week.

[Armagh18]

Never offside, Liverpool got away with one. Happy enough they've another game in an already busy season.

They might make more money in the Champions League. The Howav the Toon factor would be higher.

I'm gonna put the VAR shambles from yesterday in here

Liverpool goal clearly offside in the build up - not given
Wolves goal disallowed despite the VAR official not having a camera view to disallow goal and the referee clearly telling the linesman to raise his flag for offside during play

It's clearly corruption or undue influence of a number of clubs on decisions

[thewobbler]

It's not corruption. It's a natural continuation of what has always been the case with referees; when doubt exists, follow the path of least resistance.... which is to favour the home team, unless the away team is a much bigger club, then you favour them.

It's always been the case. VAR just magnifies how obvious it is.

Interpretation is the big problem. Bigger clubs always get the tight decisions. Why? Because the decision is bigger for the bigger club and the referees feel this pressure subliminally.

Funny how it's only Liverpool that upsets you.

[Milltown Row2]

Leeds sneak a draw there, looked like offside leading up to the equaliser for Leeds.. no VAR ... must just help teams with L as their first letter

A great and simple quote from the late Gianluca Vialli on the BBC tribute bit.  "You never lose, you either win or learn"
