Chelsea 0-2 Man City

[cosmicway 1,333]

Are you happy with Nkunku ?
I was the first who spotted him -privately that is- when he was playing for Leipzig and I was when happy Chelsea began negotiations.
Slight worries because Timo Werner came from the same team and he did n't make it, but I dismissed those.
Now he is not proving a new Diego.
Jackson is a new Remy or a new Bats but where is Nkunku's scoring

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.

If you did your research you would find that the handball rule has changed, players no longer have to defend with there arms behind there back, and are encouraged to have there arms free, point blank hand balls won't be given now,

There are the unintentional hand balls.
The record case was in one Chelsea v. Man. United at the bridge. Terry heads the ball and it's going straight in but it's stopped by the arm of a United player. Only the United player was looking the other way when the ball found him. It was not given - we did not even complain about it.
Then they started giving all and sundry as hand balls. Liverpool - Spurs champions league final, the 1-0 was one such - unintentional hand ball given as a pen from which Pool scored.
Now it's "we the Vlachs, when it chances".
So we have to take Kovacic to the Yard and if he confesses then it's a pen.
What about the free kick the citizens stopped with theIr hands last season. That too was n't ?
