closed Chelsea 4-2 Spurs

don't have a problem with the penalty...son didn't come close to getting the ball.  if moses didn't go to ground, he absolutely would've been taken out by that tackle.  don't have a problem with players trying to avoid injury.

Stupid fouls, kicking the ball out of play, acting like an ass towards the ref

Well, I'm not surprised he has a petulant side to him. Can't forget the bloke did kill someone in Spain due to negligent driving.

Could have done much better with the header though.

Guy hasn't started for years and his finishing has never been the best, so rusty finishing is expected imo. 

[Milan 17,835]

A nice dive from Moses but at the same time stupid thinking from Son. You have to be really really sure you get the ball when go slide in inside the box.

Drunk too wasn't he?

Ake at LCB so refreshing. So good to have a left footed passer there. Creating loads of chances.

I think he's been great today, man is strong as an ox and knows how to use it. Refreshing.

Such a stupid, stupid yellow for Alonso to take. Target #1 now in the second half.

[Dahnald 256]

People really need to stop bringing up Alonsos past with the car accident.

 

But he has been shit this match.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,738]

I'd start Ake vs Southampton

Yeah, I think he was completely wasted and smashed a car at over 100kmph into a wall or something. Avoidable shit like this happens but I'm surprised it's been largely forgotten about.

We should do the same with Alderweireld though.

Why should I?

Agreed. Don't understand how he hasn't been playing ahead of Diego.

Easier to bet on what you know than to take a risk.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,738]

Pedro is a little leader out there too. He definitely pulled rank when Bats tried to take that penalty. Snatched it out his hand and gave the ball to Willian

But when what you know is essentially having you play with 10 men... we've been playing with 10 men since January. Costa has added literally nothing since then. Should've been dropped a lot earlier.

He's not a slow, awkward wide defender like Alonso is, though. Easier to protect a CB than a fullback who the opponent can attack at any time.
