Batshuayi and bakayoko are the sole cause of 90% of our problems this game 

Alonso has been far worse than both. Stop scapegoating.

Like on Wednesday.

Probably like that. But since it was Brighton on the reciving end its just a «coming together of legs» or «not enough contact». Its quite comical

He got clipped 

I meant he dived in the way he went down too easily, I didn't mean that there was no contact

Hazard can be pretty strong!

those two penalty calls show you why VAR is useless... half of us thought those were two pens, the other half thought no!

Bats started this game really well, kind of just faded out of it the longer it’s gone on.

I may be wrong but weren't you saying the Willian and Morata penalties in the week weren't penalties?
These two were pretty much identical.

Willian was stone wall. Morata has a reputation and he is rightly suffering for it.

Batshuayi has been in our top 3 performers so far today.

Hazard was clipped there. 

Freekick that

To be fair it’s a chelsea forum, if they were on chelsea players they’d want a penalty.

 

For example, that was a free kick on Hazard. Alan Smith is having a laugh if he can’t see the double contact on his foot.

Bit of a dive there by Eden

He was clipped on the foot twice.

I'd say we need to kill their enthusiasm by passing.

You take each challenge as they come. A ref shouldn't look at someone and go 'oh they dived before, must be another dive' 

If they do that, they shouldn't be reffing.

 

IMO Willian's was a pen and Morata's wasn't. Much like Brighton's first shout was a pen but the second wasn't.

0% actually.

Gotta see it again. Sky think there was no contact which influenced me

No you don't. Ref is a human being. Reputation is a big factor.

Think most on here thought the first was a pen but came out with the ‘well we didn’t get it, so f**k em’ reaction.

Ah but there was contact, I agree though that he maybe made too much of it. It’s all about opinions which means that VAR will never be a perfect answer.

Someone said the bloke dived again for the second, I said he got clipped. I'm not saying it's was a pen or not, I am just saying he got clipped. Whats Norwich got to do with it and you are wrong about the Willian one.

Ref's are impartial. You shouldn't look at reputation at all.

Slightly lucky after going 2-0 up we have looked sloppy.

 

caballero worries me (apart from the super save) he just can’t hold on to the ball from crosses.

Best 10mins from us this month. The penalty calls weren't given but you can understand why. If Morata didn't get a penalty, then Schelotto shouldn't get either. 

The 1st penalty shout, the ball reached another brighton player and play could go on.

True, he has to fall like that because if there is a small contact and he falls naturally then it just looks like he slipped by himself
