yea, commentators are being chumps too. didn't say much about a similar offence even on replay on the other end, and luiz grabs a shirt and really nothing more. he didn't force the madrid player to ground at all. completely wrapping a player up is worse than that. now commentators having a go at luiz. that exact thing happens on 80% of all corners.
Clearly the penalty against Luiz was correct, but the referee watched Alonso get bear hugged to the ground without reaction...
Wow almost 2 down there that is more like the usual Madrid counter attack. We were already at half time there.
Against the run of play. Need to put something away early. They'll be nipping at our heels for a second.
Good to see a proper English side back in the competition. That said, Christ, let's put one away for the draw at least. A point away would be huge.
We are playing very well IMO, the goal was incredibly stupid to give away a PK like that by Luiz. All defenders make silly mistake from time to time, lets not forget JT on Sanchez. So far we are doing well, lets try to get a draw!
I know, Luiz so far with 2 and Cahill with 2 as well, hopefully they have gotten it all out of their system for the rest of the season.
could that have been a penalty though right before the chance? fabregas tripped over a madrid player as he was trying to get to that ball i thought?
this madrid team is so strong at defending its almost as if they'd rather foul and give up free kicks around the box. quite a number of fouls too.
Sloppy and clumsy from Cahill, what can they do from the free kick? Nothing good defending from Chelsea
Torres has scored more than his fair share of goals against us in the past, not today please, Cristiansen on
