I thought this was a definite second yellow. The referee got it wrong but the focus will be on their disallowed goal.

Too right, he wacks  him on the head and scores minutes later yet nothing said about it of course.

It is a foul. The contact of Bowen's boot with Mendy is crystal clear. The pundits' view seems to be 'Bowen fouled Mendy but Mendy probably wouldn't have saved Cornet's shot so the foul shouldn't have been given.'

As I was saying, here's the Guardian match report:

" VAR had correctly spotted that in his follow-through Bowen clipped Mendy but the contact was slight and, in any case, the ball had already squirted several yards away and Mendy’s chances of correcting his error were slim."

So he didn't kick him that hard. And Mendy is in sh*t form and wouldn't have saved it. So the goal should have stood.

Free kicks shouldn't be given to teams you don't want to win.

 

 

we denied West Ham the soaring hights of a 16th place

With Villas help.

Shearer calling it the worst decision ever by VAR. 😅

It's not even close to the worst, pillock.

Funny how match of the day weren’t so angry about the Tottenham farce. Oh and why no mention on the blatant foul on Loftus-cheek, ahead of the corners that led to their opening goal? How did the officials miss that? Oh and Antonio not getting sent off too.

More media bias... surprise surprise. 

We know they hate us.

Massive media outrage if Chelsea ever benefit from VAR.

If it goes against us it’s “oh well, you win some you lose some” from the media.

Now I’m just waiting for the apology to West Ham from the referees association.

I am in the minority that sees a lot of positives from the game. We looked strong at the back, Gallagher is easing his way into the team. Havertz looked strong when he came on and Chiller did the biz. West Ham are quite a strong side and came to park the bus and yet we prevailed. Over the years I’ve come to realize rice is a good player. 

Was not even VARs worst call of the day @coco. 

we would all be upset in West Ham position however VVD potential leg breaker not getting a red was the worst call of the weekend, by far. Such tackles can end or shorten careers.

I wonder if Moyes gets a 20k fine for his post match interview

Watching MotD now. The denial of a Leeds pen at Brentford was an absolute shocker. Oliver's stubborn refusal to overturn his decision for a pen for handball was another shocker. The decision not to red card VVD at Everton was a shocker.

Shearer calling the Bowen VAR decision one of the worst in history is yet another shocker.

Shockers all around.

Mentioned for about 5 seconds on MOTD then moved on pretty quickly.

I can think of much worse.

Romero pulling Cucurella's hair, Maguire kicking Batshuayi in the balls, us having a goal ruled out when Azpi was pushed into a United player. Having a penalty chalked off for an offside that was exactly the same as goal United scored from a few days earlier. 

The worst one by far was Lo Celso's attempted leg breaker on Azpilicueta where the VAR team admitted during the match they got it wrong.

These pundits are full of sh*t.

Had it been Koulibaly on VVD it would be 50 minutes of footage and opinions.

Even today I have seen worse VAR decisions. Like Van Dijk's tackle that could have broken the Everton players leg.

not to be  forgotten is that we played  5 players new to the team this season. The “team” will improve. 

Back from a great day out, bad decision or not we were the better team over 90 mins and deserved the win. 
 

Mendy made the most of it, but give me a keeper who wouldn’t ? There was contact with the keeper, end of, in all walks of the game contact with the keeper is not allowed or at least the benefit of the doubt goes to the keeper and with good reason 

worst VAR decision ever ? I would say it is close to the best, but of course I never played the game 😂

Still don’t know how Trev avoided a red card there - awful to put his body in the way of a flying Liverpool boot. 

Ah I figured out why Shearer said it was the worst VAR call ever.

Because it benefited Chelsea, and that is not supposed to happen.

We had 10 corners.
We get a lot of corners in games, especially with our wing back formation.
We need to score more goals from corners.

you get 10 corners you should have a goal to show from it.

We conceded a goal from a corner today.

This is something that can be worked on in training.

Also, we need to get more free-kicks on the edge of the box. AND who is our dead ball and free kick specialist?

And Why doesnt James take corners?

We looked very good against Spurs and had two howling decisions against us in that game.  So I take todays decision all day long.  

TT just needs to find his best side quickly in my opinion 

Thing is there isn't a best 11 man side these days. You have to think what is my best 11 man + subs team.  Who can come off the bench and grab a goal? Havertz. Who can came off the bench and bewildered the other team with energy?  Maybe the Kante of the future. With all the subs these days, it really can change the game. Plan for it.
