[Albion] Premier League 5-6/10/24

[Machiavelli]

Wasnt that Burn or was that another game giving a penalty away

That was an earlier season in a game that, I think, ended 3-3

Didn't take long for Chelsea to equalise

No second yellow for Rashford despite the most blatant trip and not the remotest attempt to play the ball.

Watching the City v Fulham game on MOTD and my word Traore is a shambles.

Three massive chances and he fluffs all of them.

He beats opposing players with pace and skill but has no discernible ability to pass or shoot. The modern day Dave Armstrong ( one for the old timers).

Fernandes hits the bar with a freekick, rebound put wide

 

[Flounce]

Is 13 minutes of added time enough for Chelsea to get the winner?

 

[AmexRuislip]

What's with the Manure away kit.
It looks it's been finished off with fat quarters from a Chinese work house!

 

[BBassic]

Awful game that.

 

[Weststander]

I thought Palmer and Chelsea were unplayable.

That’s not how football works!

2 fantastic saves by Sanchez. Shame he lost it with us.

That’s not how football works!

Stuff like opposition coaching, tactics and concentration get in the way.

 

[Weststander]

Just saw Rashford’s kick out that stopped a Villa attack. A clear yellow, his second, but no surprise the biased ref bottled it.

Yes, a frustrating afternoon for us Cottagers. As others have said, if Traore was a more effective finisher, he'd still be at Barcelona, not little old Fulham. I trust he'll be getting intense coaching and be a much better finisher by Dec 4th (assuming that's when we play you). Still, we played better than any other opponent this season at Citeh on Saturday and came close to grabbing a point or 3, so not many tears have been shed onto our Victoria Sponges.
