Because it was the first error, it was the costliest error, it changed the game. We were looking more likely to go 0-2 until that point. Then admitedly we lost our heads/way (2 very questionable ref calls aside) but that mistake was the catalyst for the 25 mins of chaos that followed. Would...
We do have a strong and pretty quick CB who could play next to JPvH - Igor. It won't happen because a) Dunk, & b) he's as error prone as Webster.
The other issue with the high line is that it gives the attacking team a margin for error with the through ball as it takes the keeper out of it; if...
To be fair that all depends on the personnel in our defence. If JP and Veltman are back then it looks a bit different IMO.
At the moment we are a better team than Man U.
I've had a self imposed 36 hours off of here.
I called the free kick out on Saturday evening, I don't understand why more isn't being said about it by the club or in the media? It is appalling refereeing.
Also the penalty, I've watched this a few times now and I just don't see a foul. An...
You f*** off. It’s not discussion is it, it’s an agenda. It’s literally OUR new manager’s first defeat after 8 games. You want him sacked or even that to be discussed at his point?
Wanker.
Just watching MOTD - Palmer’s 3rd goal, the free kick, WTF, he takes the free kick a good 10 yards nearer our goal than the foul. Why have none of our players picked up on this? There is NO WAY he scores that if it’s taken from where the actual foul is committed.
I give up.
He is the only reason that a jittery looking Chelsea got back into a game that up until then they were second best in.
Sport at any level is about momentum, we literally gave it back to them.
It’s not like this is out of the blue is it? He’s been making these mistakes for years now...
Yep agreed but do I actually have to explain to you that Webster’s mistake CHANGED THE GAME?
We were controlling things. Their crowd were getting restless, they were struggling to keep the ball. The equaliser changed all that.
Webster is an absolute liability.
I still can’t get past the Webster brain fart, it’s quite irrelevant what he did afterwards because it was that mistake which did the real damage.
He makes a major mistake in EVERY match, just sometimes he gets away with it.
As a signing he’s up there with some of our worst in terms value for money.
I'll be buying tomorrow morning as my lad is a low point STH, whatever 3 seats I can get in a row, not bothered where as there are no restricted/bad view seats in the away end at Anfield anymore.
If this is the case that higher points STHs are waiting for a 'better view' then I have zero empathy, they've had 3 days to buy.
However the more likely scenario is higher points STHs waiting to buy because another STH in the group is lower points or A+, which incidently is the position I'm in.
I think that could be the team but I do wonder if we want both Baleba and Wieffer in the middle for this one. Hinch replaces Rutter. Go very solid. Attacks come down the flanks with both Hinch and Baleba getting forward.
You beat me to it. All the Sussex, Kent and Surrey LFC plastics no doubt let out a little excited scream of delight at that draw. I'm fully expecting WhatsApps from a couple I know in the next few days. My answer will be a lie - "no I can't get guest tickets".
Pervis is finally injury free, he needs to keep playing.
Re Ferdi it all depends how we set up - against Arsenal we didn't push our defenders up as much as we have done. If that's the plan then it's Veltman for me, if however FH decides we are going to take the game to Chelsea then it's Ferdi...
