I said I was not going to write anything in this City thread because of the team's alleged unreadiness, or unreadiness. But this is about Taylor. First of all when we were still under Abramovitch the club had requested not to be refereed by Anthony Taylor again. What happened to that ? Now about Sunday: 1st) Jackson goal. Jackson's goal was offside. Where he stands half of his body is beyond the line and the rebound does not cancel the offside. The opposition player has to play the ball intentionally to cancel the offside. 2n) Enzo, Enzo is brought down inside the area from behind. It was a police against demonstrator situation and Taylor waves play on. 3d) Kovacic's hand ball. That was an outstretched arm, same as last year in the Etihad. That should have been given was the verdict and the same applies for Sunday's match. Taylor again waves play on. Evidently this man is not an ... Altrincham fan but a sworn enemy of Chelsea football club.

The Scots want independence as well.

I hope it's the last we saw of Mudryk. Sterling despite his antics proves useful sometimes. Mudryk never.

Well, Everton of a couple of years back.

Much better than Celtic.

So was that what you expected to see ? Last minute equalizer against a team sized as Everton - Bournemouth ? I won't write anything on the topic Man. City - Chelsea next week. Let's have the match against City wiped out from memory unless we win and see what happens next.

Second division next year. With Carlisle and Preston Northend.

what is it ? io parlo italiano

It's Arteta's league. Chelsea if the present situation continues which it will, are going to finish clear of Everton who will escape relegation the last hour.

I liked Servette's back line against Braga yesterday. It was a bad betting miss as I was onto Braga to double with Ajax. But I liked the way they stopped Braga from attacking. The Portuguese had to bleed to take the ball downfield and try something and Braga is the fourth power in Portugal known for their skillfull attackers. Braga was never eliminated by a Greek team whereas the Swiss teams never went through against a Greek team. That was a good verrou system, but at the moment ours looks like a defeated army running for life.

Chelsea in good company

Is it ? They watch them from a fair distance.

We scored 9 goals in five matches. Fair enough. But the defense was turned into sh*t. It looks like Maresca wants the defenders to take positions rather than man to man marking. So they collapse like house of cards.

Real 2 - Headless chicken 1. Obviously there was a mini conference at half time to keep the score down.

What's Debbie doing ?

Deus ex machina.

City are not always pressed when they play out from the back. The way it was done yesterday caused situations Kepa ++, Mendy +++. But it was not only when playing from the back. Everything is out of place, we concede tap ins. Anyway with Thiago gone I 'm not sure this backline can play any system.

Ok, we talk about March-April.

With Poch it was false dawn, the friendlies - then the team could not score against real hard defences just like under Potter, until Palmer came forward. But total disarray, one man running west, the other east we did n't see.

So you like midtable. Soviet realism eh ?

If Maresca can turn this into a semblence of a football side on the 18th it's something that I have n't seen before.

We didn't even know Maresca to say that he is sh*t ! He just proves himself to be so. He has twelve days (12) to change his team from Isthmian league team to EPL team.

Maresca doing his real job:
