What was in favour of Bayern was the home ground.

The referee was from the darkest lagoons. Other than that our finishing was problematic, as usual.

I don't think so. The time they played us for fun was three years ago, during Antonio years. The fielded a depleted squad and we won 3-0. Those last two matches they took serious enough.

We beat them twice the last month, though they were 50-50 affairs both matches. I don't see any difference if we don't play sh*te and if they don't have 14 players like today's Villa.

He shot wide from good positions two or three times.

The referee was caught by the police I hear.

Spurs, the pride of London. Up the a**hole.

Klop is through. Leicester will not find it easy against Spurs but if we don't win things become adventurous. We must win this and we can. It's more impotrant than the champions league final against City. It's a strange thing this but it is so.

I watched the match with one eye, after a catarract operation. We gave them a Werner +++ chance in extra time from which they ought to have equalized. Previously we gave a stupid goal - passing game again in our own area to attract their players forward when we were 2-0 ahead !!! The tv was showing a replay of a Leicester shot that went wide and all of a sudden switches to live for a real goal !

Look at the Leicester goal and then tell me he does n't.

Werner needs a wife.

I don't remember anything drastic different from Lamps days. He started real bad and Kepa was making those horrible mistakes too - we attributed this spell to the lack of preparation-friendlies and to Kepa. Then all was great when we beat Sevilla 4-0 in their own ground then the Lampard wall - starting at Everton. Now it looks like Tuchel wall and the same old problems - lack of penetration, Werner shooting the pigeons. Defensively we are better and also a little bit faster. Unless the wall comes to an end on Tuesday we are doomed. We are not doomed if we lose to City on the 29th, but of course we want to fight for it. On Tuesday another one of those and we are doomed - next year against Levski, Titograd and Vardar Skopje. Meanwhile Poll have bought their way to 70 points, that's for certain.

I don't know if it is hand ball - from this image. Maybe it is. Chilwell left arm is 14.09 cm offside ! Chilwell is offside if and only if the ball has n't been kicked by Thiago the instant this is still was taken.

It's not the fault of VAR. The VAR-offside rule is idiotic.

It's Tuesday the match of the season, if you are Abra. Against Villa he can buy the game.

Handball but Kepa was off to buy groceries. Only instance in the entire match he was needed.

VAR offside decisions are sh*te and we are on the receiving end since we are an attacking team. Wenger is right. VAR has performed wonders in correcting referees' decisions. It has also eliminated football violence and ugly behaviours. But the offside rule is rubbish. In the seventies they made it so that when two players are on line it favours the attack. Yet for the life of me I can't imagine there was ever a single linesman who spotted an exact straight line in the days before VAR ! So with the centimetre decisions essentially we are back to the old days when the same line favoured the defense. Wenger's proposal must be enacted immediately.

And Rudiger believed Kepa was playing for them.

Kepa went for a stroll to Hyde park.

Tuchel wall.

Meanwhile United gives two matches to Chelsea's rivals. Leicester 1-2, Pool 2-4.

We managed to lose to malaria infested Arsenal. We cannot possibly fail to beat the beach party Leicester.

Kai fcuked it. He could even dribble the goalkeeper. There is no way Arsenal could have returned. But after their fluke goal our reaction was minimal if not non existent. The way to break such defensive lines is -I 'm afraid- to pound them with crosses. I don't know of any other way even if it reminds of the old England team under Alf Ramsey.

This team has a doctor Jeckyl and mister Haydn syndrome. Start of the season: Awful, with Kepa's errors aggravating the situation. Then all is well: 4-0 against Sevilla. Then Lampard wall. With Tuchel we had three big flops: Albion, Burnley and yesterday. Against this Arsenal it's not even a local derby yet we lost. In the crucial weeks to come what face are we going to see ? If Tuchel finds the rhythm hopefully the good face (doctor Jeckyl). Otherwise ... even Europa for next season is possible. The low defense lines seems to be a permanent problem and yesterday the situation cried for Oliver's presence but he used him only the last fifteen minutes. Another thing is the passing game inside our own penalty area (!). This is supposed to drag opponents forward and hence open their defense, when the ball does eventually go through. But the effect is marginal and we concede giveaway goals all the time. We open defenses like that when the opposition is desperate to attack us (aka Real Madrid in the second leg), not with the passing game. The passing game in our own penalty area is a guillotine thing.

F*ck the first sixteen minutes ? What about the remaining 74, against ordinary opposition as well ? I saw a semblence of movement only in the last six minutes - the extra time. Something was terribly wrong with today's team.
