You are all welcome.This game (FA Cup Final) could really use a goal.
Tielemans with a blast.

What’s the change you’d like? I don’t disagree but I’m just struggling to see a change that could be implemented fairly and easily.if there is one thing I want to see in the game before I die is an overhaul to the offside rule. I hate the fact that a pubic hair's length continues to remove goals from an already low scoring sport.
Old tweet I bookmark to bring out when I feel like I do right now. Ashley Cole's response to the FA sanctioning John Terry in the Anton Ferdinand Fiasco approx. 10 years ago.What’s the story here?
I didn’t even notice the date. Yeah - Chelsea fans should feel a little hard done. No call on the handball and then having the equalizer ruled out. What are your thoughts on the lineup Tuechel put out? Seemed ridiculously defensive for me - I know that’s kind of his MO but with essentially a back 5 and Jorginho and Konte is was just so cautious against a side like Leicester.Old tweet I bookmark to bring out when I feel like I do right now.

I was upset for a while when the goal was ruled offside, but I'm over it now. I thought Pulisic was once again the most dangerous attacking player for Chelsea. I don't know why Abraham never plays or why so much trust is placed on Werner. Kovacic is apparently healthy now, but he's been out so long I guess perhaps he wasn't ready to play a big game today. He's a little better at pushing forward, but there's no reason they can't score buckets of goals with Kante and Jorginho in midfield. I don't really worry about lineups much anymore, but did not consider the team necessarily defensive today.I didn’t even notice the date. Yeah - Chelsea fans should feel a little hard done.

I was coming here specifically to ask you and other Chelsea fans about this.I thought Pulisic was once again the most dangerous attacking player for Chelsea. I don't know why Abraham never plays or why so much trust is placed on Werner.
Could be, but this is the front 3 that failed to score against Arsenal on Wednesday. Lots of good chances in both games though - both were easily winnable for Chelsea.I was coming here specifically to ask you and other Chelsea fans about this.I thought Pulisic was once again the most dangerous attacking player for Chelsea.

Tuchel has done a good job obviously, and I don't see every game, but it feel like he has a real blind spot about his best lineup. From what I've seen Pulisic -- Mount -- Havertz seems like the clear choice and he doesn't play it very often.
I love Wenger's suggestion.What’s the change you’d like? I don’t disagree but I’m just struggling to see a change that could be implemented fairly and easily.
I haven't see the xG stuff for this game yet, but Chelsea losing the other day was a fluke. They were a lot better and the xG for that was something like 2.4 to 0.7. That's a win probably 80%+ of the time.Could be, but this is the front 3 that failed to score against Arsenal on Wednesday.

Seems obvious to me - he jumped which is a play on the ball. If he stood still and it hit him then I would agree that it should be a goal.
Lots of possession and to be fair, if Werner hadn’t touched that hall then Azpuielsjhdydubs would have headed it in.I haven't see the xG stuff for this game yet, but Chelsea losing the other day was a fluke.

It didn't seem like they were dominant like that today to me.
That's awarded as a goal almost every time. I'm not sure I've ever seen something like that waved off before.Seems obvious to me - he jumped which is a play on the ball. If he stood still and it hit him then I would agree that it should be a goal.
My understanding of the rule is you can’t interfere with the “release” of the ball. Whether it’s been called correctly previously is irrelevant. But it’s very possible I have the rule wrong.That's awarded as a goal almost every time. I'm not sure I've ever seen something like that waved off before.
Compare it to what Kareem Benzema did in the Champion's League final vs Liverpool and this is nothing. Benzema stalked Karius and lunged to get his foot to the ball when Karius released it.
I had to look it up and it's a judgement call.My understanding of the rule is you can’t interfere with the “release” of the ball. Whether it’s been called correctly previously is irrelevant. But it’s very possible I have the rule wrong.
GK was a moron - no clue what he was doing there unless trying to get a yellow on the NYCFC player.I had to look it up and it's a judgement call.
But the ref bailed the GK out there IMO. Usually they let it stand.
Here's the Benzema goal for example. In a Champion's League final.
Yeah, even if the rule is right - that was dumb.GK was a moron - no clue what he was doing there unless trying to get a yellow on the NYCFC player.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but wouldn't that involve scoring a goal?All they have to do is beat Leicester H2H.
Of course he did, US games are coming up.Seeing on Twitter that Aaron Long may have picked up a serious injury.
Anyone have details?
we probably won't know until the morning. Looks like a possible Achilles heel injurySeeing on Twitter that Aaron Long may have picked up a serious injury.

yeah, this is what I suggested to my buddies. I would take it a step further and make it any part period so that you would have to see grass between attacker and defender. The spirit of the rule is to prevent cherry picking not promote the offside trap.I love Wenger's suggestion.

While there will still be a need for VAR and close calls, this change at least gives a little advantage to the attacker, which is the first advantage given to the attacker since 1990 (30+ years ago with out an improvement), when offside was changed to make even onside.
Crowd was great. We were back in our seats, which was nice. Place went bananas when Moreno scored the late winner.

oh.Wolves kits are hideous. Claret / pine green is not a winning combo.
Just make it feet and all this is clean, simple and gives the advantage to the offensive guy who can time his lean right.if there is one thing I want to see in the game before I die is an overhaul to the offside rule. I hate the fact that a pubic hair's length continues to remove goals from an already low scoring sport.
Hips starting to lie?Past time for Pique to hang them up. Just horrid defending.
He can do whatever he wants, apparentlyI am quite certain its the beard. Alisson really should never be clean shaven again.
