Kanskje vi skulle vurdert å hente han tilbake i januar istedet for å hente inn en ny spiss. Kommer litt an på hvordan Torres gjør det fremover. Han spilte en god kamp igår om vi ser bort i fra karatesparket. United igjen på onsdag. Blir vel et mer redusert lag i fra begge sider som er vanlig i denne cupen tenker jeg. Ellers er det Swansea til helgen. Da blir vel forsvarslinjen vår bestående av Cesar - Luiz - Cahill - Cole. Blir spennende å se hvordan det fungerer.

Mister man ikke to kamper på direkte rødt?

 

Én kamp for to gule.

Én kamp for professional foul.

To kamper for to gule om det er 2. utvisning for sesongen.

To kamper om det er professional foul og 2. utvisning for sesongen.

Tre kamper for farlig spill.

Fire kamper for farlig spill og 2. utvisning for sesongen.

Tolv kamper om man holder på som Joey Barton.

Dan Levane om Søndagens kamp

 

Chelsea 2-3 Manchester United: what did we learn from Sunday's eventful match at Stamford Bridge?

Aside from the refereeing controversies, we again saw that Chelsea are an extremely able side – dogged by lapses that can cost games.

While many will rightly cite the influence of refereeing decisions on the outcome, in truth Chelsea should never have gifted an especially average United side a two-goal cushion so early-on.

Yet again, Chelsea fell asleep in the starting blocks: handing the initiative to United.

Playing without the ball, Chelsea were always chasing the game in the first half hour.

Both early goals were the result of poor cover on the left – and credit must be given to Ashley Cole for apologising for what was one of his worst performances in a blue shirt.

As a result of Cole playing too high up-field, David Luiz was often dragged left into a position he cannot cover, and leaving two gaping holes.

When the change came, however, it was like the flick of a switch.

Chelsea suddenly seemed to press at United and, with the benefit of greater concentration, they were able to keep more of the ball.

The goal before the break may have been the result of a set piece (and a fantastic one from Juan Mata at that), but it followed 15 minutes of constant pressure.

After the break Chelsea did not let up. At the time of the equaliser, the game looked to be heading only one way: towards a Chelsea victory.

United's defence was extremely shaky, their midfield almost non-existent. And while their forwards, notably Robin Van Persie, retained clear bite: Chelsea were dominating them pretty much all over the pitch.

The two red cards obviously changed things: for me, fairly in the case of Branislav Ivanovic, and unfairly in the case of Fernando Torres.

Aside from the offside winner by Javier Hernandez, Chelsea largely held their own with the two-goal deficit.

Chelsea cannot control what referees do. But they can control the lapses in concentration that have been a hallmark of some of their biggest games this season.

There were periods against Atletico Madrid, Tottenham, Shakhtar Donetsk and Manchester United where the team switched off, fell away from the pace, and made too many mistakes. In three of those four cases, it cost Chelsea the match.

Roberto Di Matteo has also shown that he is sometimes slow reacting to these issues: why on Sunday, with ten men and Torres on a yellow, did it take so long to get Daniel Sturridge ready to come on?

Players and coaches alike need to work on their mental sharpness as a matter of urgency.

The FA has begun an investigation relating to allegations made following Sunday's fixture at Stamford Bridge between Chelsea & Man Utd

 

Lurer på hvor mye informasjon vi får om dette. Med tanke på hvor overbeskyttende FA har vært over dommerne sine tidligere lurer jeg på hvordan dette vil bli håndtert.
