The concern with Chelsea is the size of their squad. Being in a no mark European competition means they are fully rotating their team meaning they are going to be fresher then us.

[Norbs]

Chelsea are a big worry now, they've got a favourable fixture list over the busy Xmas period too

[Buzzo]

Chelsea are a bit dodgy at the back also. They’ve got a ridiculously strong squad tho.

[labourRed]

It's the squad size but being able to rotate in Europe is massive and will be by the end of the season. I'd actually have them as favourites.

Hahaha, good one

[labourRed]

Palmer is extremely unlikeable.

[ChesterDave]

Palmer is extremely unlikeable.

Half his goals are penalties but he's English so gets over hyped. And he has a shocking barnet

[Scratch]

If Son would have scored that the Internet would have melted

Going back to this, what would VAR have done had it gone in?

Part of me thinks they would have given it and Chelsea should play to the whistle. Another part of me thinks that the Spurs player, even if he never touched the ball, interfered in play with the run he made so offside. And all of me thinks that if Nunez had missed like Son did at the end of it all, this forum would be frothing at the mouth ��

Chelsea have it in them to go all Spursey too at some point.

I think we are going to have to live with the fact that as thing stand, 4 clear with a game in hand, we are favourites.

Technically the player would only have been offside when he touched the ball, its a **** rule but that's how they play it.
How many times does the lino only flag after the defender has made a challenge or goalie has been forced to make a save. Puts players at extra risk.
Then add in the ambiguity of how to interpret "interfering with play"...
Gives ref and var an option to **** us over if it's close.

It was only a week or so ago we were 9 points clear and people were saying the title is on its way. We have to win our game in hand just to go back to 7, otherwise we'll only be 4 points up. And with a squad as thin as ours, I honestly dont think we'll make it. And if we dont buy anyone next month I can see us coming 3rd.

[Sus]

That’s the spirit

[SB]

That’s the spirit

He’s confused us with Spurs I do agree we should be looking to strengthen if possible.
