Bournemouth v Chelsea (PL) Sat 6th May 2023 15:00 GMT

Silva got very, very lucky there. If the ref had made the same call after that challenge by a Bournemouth defender on a Chelsea forward we'd be crying bloody murder.
You have to actually touch a player to foul him you know, and Silva never touched him.

 
Chilly done his hammy

season over

Weird. On my stream it looked clean. It`s not in HD quality to be honest but still. Maybe different angles shown. The steam I am on is showing Discovery (whatever channel that is)

 
Good subs Frank. Out of sorts Sterling and out of form RLC definitely definately tips the flow into our favour...

 
Chilly injured. Madueke off. Ziyech on. This keeps getting better and better.
Yeah. Now is the time Lampard is losing the plot again. I have no idea how, with this squad and the amount of players available, RLC, Sterling and Ziyech are the subs.

I thought so at first too but on the second watch it looked like the ball was pushed away by the outside of Solanke's right boot and Silva caught Solanke's left. Happy to be corrected - only saw it twice and my stream isn't great.

Crap news for Chilwell, was just thinking before the game that it's annoying that he's been available recently when we've been sh*t and not after November last season when we were otherwise okay. Shame not to see Hall on as his replacement.

Also for whoever was complaining about a lack of energy caused by the Sterling/RLC subs - how do you feel about Ziyech on for Madueke?

Is that true?

can players run steaming up to for example, the goalkeeer, chase after him with fists raised about to batter him? Not actually touch him, but make him move/flinch enough to be distracted. 

I guess not - although accept I dont know the rules on the touching thing sufficiently.  If it's allowed, we should try it!

I'm starting to wonder if all of these hamstring injuries we pick up is because of the lack of fitness in this squad. We regularly play at a slow place, and when teams put pressure on us, we can't keep up with them. Players like Chilwell, James and Kante seem to get these injuries when we do the odd sprint.
