Jebus, Leicester. Any sort of finish... should be up 5-2 or 6-2.

Any sort of reffing and that game was out of reach much sooner. How was that not a penalty on Son in the first half? It’s clear as day, and somehow he’s booked for a dive? Then the “penalty” awarded to Leicester (which was saved) was not a penalty at all. That doesn’t even get into the numerous fouls and calls that Oliver made. It’s just astounding that he keeps a job, honestly.

As a neutral, I can say you are delusional. That was clearly a foul on Maddison. Son one could have gone either way. But out of reach? Maybe for LFC if they could convert easy chances.

Well it would’ve been out of reach because we wouldn’t have brought Vardy in for the penalty! I agree it wasn’t our best performance, but we got the win in spite of Michael Oliver, so I’m happy with that. I don’t know what Puel was thinking leaving Demarai Gray in alone as sole striker for so long though. That seems like a tactical error that probably cost them a goal at least.

City are taking Chelsea out behind the woodshed.

Never turned a game off faster wow.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Insert "Stop! He's already dead" gif. Sarri might not make it to tomorrow.

[devo22]

Jesus, what a massacre.

Huddersfield game apart, Chelsea have been terrible for a while. Sarris criticism of the players was probably the beginning of the end for him, but I don't think he's wrong. He'd probably need some time and patience for him to really implement his ideas and build the squad the way he wants it. These players are used to tuning out and getting rid of managers though, so he'll be long gone before that happens.

And also, guilty as charged! I definitely have a bias.

[Senator Clay Davis]

No wonder Hudson-Odoi wants out, club is a #### show. Be interesting to see what Roman does with this team. Sacking Sarri probably won't make a difference given that this same group quit on Mourinho and Conte as well. Will he do what he needs to and gut the roster even if it means finishing 10th next year?

[devo22]

David Luiz is probably having terrible flashbacks today. Still time for 7-1.

[The Big Chill]

Chelsea are such a weird team. Can go from best in the league to mid-table also-rans based on whether they feel like trying or not.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Lol Chelsea now in 6th after that goal. Massacre.

[Barnet Flame]

Chelsea beaten by a score similar to the one I feared Arsenal would endure last week.

Aaron Ramsey to become the highest paid British player ever at £400,000 a week!

Great bit of business ....by him!

[devo22]

both Martial and Lingard being out "for 2-3 weeks" hurts more than the PSG defeat. That's Chelsea in the FA Cup, Liverpool in the PL, probably the second leg against PSG as well. Having to start the likes of Alexis or Mata weakens the team quite a bit. Challenging weeks for Ole, another good test for him.

[cam_wmh]

I just read Valencia’s leaving. Wasn’t that fall out from Mourinho? Seems OGS, doesn’t rate him either, but Ashley Young ahead of him? Cmon

The free transfer contracts always seem a bit out of whack

I do think hes gonna look really good in Italy, the biggest thing has lacking is the burst or physicality to make a move around the box, likely due to his leg being snapped in half

But hes a really smart player and good technically, which usually excels in Italy

[devo22]

what a ball in by Pogba. Outstanding

[Senator Clay Davis]

Speaking of not outstanding, Marcos Alonso is one of the worst defenders in the PL. His entire rep at this point is based of his FPL production, but he is constantly shocking at actually defending.

[Senator Clay Davis]

The world record goalkeeper needs to be making that stop.
