Closed Arsenal v Chelsea

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

Analysts seem convinced Oscar was concussed by that hit.

[cosmicway 1,323]

Referee missed train.

Replaced by guy from terraces.

[1chelsea 864]

Without a striker and we pressing good I need Drogba in

[DYC. 7,542]

Pleasantly surprised with the approach today. No defending deep, containing, hoofing the ball forward 'tactical football', but energetic, intense, pressing football. Very strong performance off the ball. Not so much on the ball for the most part unfortunately. Looking a little out of ideas on the ball, and you can tell there's a lack of a reference point up top. But a win is definitely possible here.

Oscar - Ospina clash was a penalty. Fabregas - Cazorla, mmm.. not so sure. Definite contact, but he went down easy. Could've given it, but I don't blame the ref for not getting it right. Ramires should've scored after that brilliant ball from Willian.

Hazard has been surprisingly poor, nothing's working for him. I would like to see Willian on the left more and Hazard in the middle. But then again, Willian is doing a lot of covering for Fabregas. Cesc is really fired up btw, he's all over the place. And Terry has been excellent. Such an intelligent defender.

Anyway, more of the same in the second half, please. But a bit more composure on the ball. It's a bit too hectic and rushed.

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

Good.

But what are the 2-3 penalties that people talk about ?

[Toli 977]

People actually saying that it was a pen on Cahill. Never, ever intentional.

it was a penalty. his hand is up, not a natural position and he is widening his body. as clear a penalty as oscars was.

[stroey 2,525]

Willian when not locked on the RW, is superb. Helps the team so much in attack and defense. Ramires should've finished that chance like he normally does

[cosmicway 1,323]

Oscar was hugged and kissed.

Some unintentional.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Oscar hasn't been as good as he was in the opening 30 minutes since he took that hit.

Bullshit. Are his hands supposed to be glued to his body when he's going to the ground? No way. His hands were definitely in a natural position.

[cosmicway 1,323]

Would n't miss Ramirez chance never.

Even at the age of 97 I am now.

True. When you dive in like that, you're arm automatically moves up. There's nothing he can do about that.

[Laugh1ngMan 393]

Hazard needs to get on the ball more.

i feel he should try make himself more available with runs into space etc.

a lot of the times he tends to go missing in these high tempo games that go back and forth since that's not really his way of playing

wouldn't surprise me...he got a knock on the head from the keeper (in the replay it's obvious, didn't see it in real time), and then of course the fall on the ground

Luis would be perfect.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Willian is fantastic away from the right wing....

[nachikethas 1,149]

Missed first half. Saw cahils handball incident seems like a penalty.

[nadavTKL 1,787]
