No choice. That's a pen. Harsh but correct decision
harsh and stupid
Yeah hard to argue against that as a penalty
Borderline unprofessional start to this match. We look unprepared and careless.
he went for the ball. his arm moved with his body, he didnt extend his arm to try and stop the ball. this sport is fucked
How was that even a discussion? Mudryk heads it onto Saliba's arm, there's no way he can react.
What a joke.
Don Pacifico if it was just about whether you have time to react you could out your arm anywhere before the ball is hit as long as you're in close distance to it. It's about where he had his arm.
HomeSteak don't see how it's "stupid", but it's 100% a pen.
Clean sheet stat gone init.
HomeSteak harsh man. bullet header onto his arm from point blank range, hardly anything he could've done
we don't look up for it at all though.
Meh.. we never save penalties
it's a pen but dont think you can blame saliba there
Irishgunner - that’s my take too.
That header is on target and while unfortunate you can’t be blocking that.
We are scared of Chelsea, like scared shitless lol
HomeSteak ref is just letting them hack Jesus and Saka down left and right.
at this point, why shoot on goal? just shoot and try to hit the defender's arm. much easier than scoring real goals
mdgoonah41 it isn't easier at all. This is a nonsense argument. You can't use your hands to play the ball, end of story. Intention should have no weight in the decision whatsoever.
Chelsea are lucky there but we've been rubbish so far. Our tactics are woeful. Pass it around the back cagely then have Raya hoof it at Saka.
We've not looked good early on. Big test again for the team now.
yeah right, Cole Palmer does nothing for this attack 🙄
QuincyAbeyie but I just don't think that reflects the reality of playing football. Is Salina meant to go in for a header like a salmon?
Law is an ass.
Yeah agree. You can’t fault saliba, but it’s a pen by the rules
