He was very good for Ajax, massive talent at that stage, but didn't want to renew his contract so they were desperate to move him on. Ended up in Roma, where career goes to die, and that was a massive blunder (think he has said himself he shouldn't have left Ajax so early). I'm in the "late bloomer" camp because he showed right from the start in Ajax that he could/should be a top class player.

Some people just prefer being a big fish in a very small pond, where you're the undisputed king of the shallow end and all the other fish scuttle around deferentially, bringing you plankton to feed on as they admire your glorious iridescent scales. As soon as you release them into the sea, however, they end up floating lifeless and dead-eyed on the surface, bobbing around on the tide as the great white sharks clrcle. The official medical name for it is Wilfried Zaha Syndrome.

I think the Joao Pedro case is one where he should not get the penalty in the best of worlds, since he's (as usual, unfortunately) more keen on getting the penalty than getting a shot off. But strictly following the rules, I think its a pen (and I'm not someone looking at ref decisions with tinted glasses).

The Van Hecke situation is never a penalty.

He was pushed in the back. That's why he collided with the keeper.

I live round here too - not sure which smug Cottagers you deal with day to day but it's the Chelsea fans I can't stand!

I run a pre/post match Fulham boozer. But you’re right, a large majority of Chelsea fans that drink here are entitled twats!

I thought JPVHs arm was slightly - and I emphasise the word slightly - outstretched. If Oliver blows up, I'm not sure he is sent to do the walk of shame to overturn it which is where the Umpires call comment came from. We will never know as common sense prevailed.

We've watched enough Joao Pedro to know the drill by now. My and my lad just burst out laughing when Oliver pointed to the spot.

Howson’s arm on Pedro’s back, with Kapa racing towards him, how does Pedro remain upright? Watch the highlights again.
Pedro was pushed into Kapa. Definite penalty.

Huijsen (not Howson).
He's going to be quite a player.
I agree that the push made it hard for Pedro to stay upright even if he wanted to.
A definite penalty.

Good team, likeable players, no cheating, decent fans. Nice club. Loving the rise of the "non big 6"!

All of the above....plus...not managed by smug Eddie any more. Obviously haven't done any detailed analysis but Areola seems to me to be one of the less whiny premier league managers.

Astonishing? No, he was poor and gave them almost everything for me - terrible. To not give that free kick right in front of him for a two handed shirt pull is the only astonishing thing here. Very nearly cost us 2 points.

This. I thought the ref was awful and singularly failing in his duty to protect players from injury. Time and time again he let one obvious push or hack go, only to blow up for another one seconds later. All as if to say “well I didn’t want to give it but yeah it’s probably all getting a bit heated now”. All while our player is still rolling around in pain for the first foul. Lucky no one got badly hurt. Absolute nob.

After last night, potentially yes.

But a team that wants to win the European Cup tends to like to keep the winning mentality going.
