What's the rule? His left foot looked like it was ahead of the ball; the rest of his body wasn't.Seems to me that's a pretty clear offside on Britos, doesn't excuse the goal

If any part of the body that he can score with is ahead of the ball, he's offside.What's the rule? His left foot looked like it was ahead of the ball; the rest of his body wasn't.
This sums up the match nicely. So sick of the mindless defensive lapses, so sick of dropping points to bottom table teams. Such a crap way to start the season.Seems to me that's a pretty clear offside on Britos, doesn't excuse the goal
Thanks. Certainly looked like he was offsides then, though I can't imagine you'll ever get that call in that situation, unless soccer adopts instant replay -- you just can't see that clearly in real time from 30 yards away.If any part of the body that he can score with is ahead of the ball, he's offside.
When is Bolasie expected back?Everton looking disjointed and clumsy. Stoke troubling them with an aggressive press - no way they can sustain it for 90 but maybe they can squeeze the first goal out of it. Yank Geoff Cameron with a couple of dangerous through-balls.
On twitter, if you start to type in Liverpool, the first option I get is "Liverpool defense" even before just "Liverpool".This sums up the match nicely. So sick of the mindless defensive lapses, so sick of dropping points to bottom table teams. Such a crap way to start the season.
Christmas, more or less.When is Bolasie expected back?
Supposedly they are very well organized and disciplined. A good thing in a league where the world's most expensive players seem to not bother with defending set pieces, if this thread is any indicationAnd now 2-0 Huddersfield.
I am leery of Chelsea this season. Not getting good vibes.Holy shit! Burnley with a laser--now up 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.
Just in the door. I know what game I'm gonna watch.Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd, 3-0 Burnley.
You think today's match is going to be remembered as a fluke?I am leery of Chelsea this season. Not getting good vibes.
They're not going to get killed at home every week by relegation candidates, obviously. Just seems like their offseason business has been pretty sour, and the mood is pissy - I don't get the warm fuzzies.You think today's match is going to be remembered as a fluke?
Shearer, on the BBC a couple of days ago, briefly mentioned that there was bad blood at Chelsea, but he never elaborated. Assuming it's recruitment related, has there been any specific players mentioned?They're not going to get killed at home every week by relegation candidates, obviously.

Edit: I didn't see MMS's post first, honest.
I didn't pay close attention, but with Costa wanting out, and Conte complaining about this and that everytime I came across a mention, it seemed not like the happiest place.Shearer, on the BBC a couple of days ago, briefly mentioned that there was bad blood at Chelsea, but he never elaborated.

Conte is fighting two curses.Shearer, on the BBC a couple of days ago, briefly mentioned that there was bad blood at Chelsea, but he never elaborated. Assuming it's recruitment related, has there been any specific players mentioned?
Three curses:Conte is fighting two curses.
Plight of the FA Cup loser

2015: Tim Sherwood sacked, Villa relegated (Aston Villa)
2014: Hull City relegated
Plight of PL winner
2016: Ranieri sacked
2015: Jose sacked
2014: Pelegrini gone within 2 years
And yet Wenger is Teflon.Conte is fighting two curses.
