The penalty incident with Eto'o is a cock up on the same scale as the lino's offside call against City. He's looking right at it, it's a penalty.
We were sh*te in the first half (barring the opening 3 minutes) but improved enough to deserve a point I thought. Tactically they set up well and we couldn't contain Hazard, who was always their main threat. Shame about the chances not taken and I thought Mignolet should have done much better for their second, although props to the big Belgian for the great save from Lampards shot. Chelsea were pretty lucky to still have 11 on at the end in my view, plenty of nasty challenges.
Such a disappointment to lose these two last fixtures, especially as we deserved much more than 0 from 6 considering the performances. We've had two referee's to complain about but really we should focus on what we need to improve on in our team. Our squad isn't good enough, we need a first team midfielder and fullback. The quicker we replace Johnson the better in my view. Allen, as much as I like him as a player, isn't a starter. Otherwise we welcome Stevie back, get Enrique and Flanno fit and Sturridge firing, and it's all not so bad.
Bitterly disappointing week but there's a many more games to come and a transfer window too (hint hint FSG).
just to add on the Suarez penalty, I'm so angry about it I haven't really expressed it here because i;m trying to be positive, but if that is any other player on the pitch I think Webb gives it. This is what happens when you label a player a diver and build F***ing FA instructional videos on his diving to show the refs. You see the reaction on the Chelsea bench, they are all waving their F***ing arms about like Suarez has done something WRONG!??! Shocking bias against an individual and it's happened TWICE in a week in two massive massive games. Not good enough, not that anything will be done about it
