Some strike by Lermer. Game needed livening up. Atrocious by Chelsea so far.

 

[Jack Regan]

Good hit but the Goalkeeper looked incredibly flat footed to me and gets no spring in his dive at all.

Yep, proper Ikeme 2015 energy.

A case of yet a prima donna 100k plus defender looking after his good looks rather then defending it with his face. Bruce, Adams and Keown would whip the fucker to death for turning his back.

Very much Ikeme style of seemingly stepping the wrong way at the point the shot is hit and gives himself no chance.

Ikeme was terrible at that on free kicks

That bloody Chris Martin one. As it was we won anyway but FFS. Don't stand there

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Cech saying he got it wrong. Good analysis.

Goody. Bunged a tenner on Chelsea @ 3/1 at half time.

Right I'll say it, whilst Enzo's goal the other night against Villa looked awesome, I thought Martinez should be saving that, he got his feet wrong.

It seems to be getting rarer and rarer that players score direct from free kicks, and one from that distance has got to be a keeper error.

Harsh. He put it as close to the top corner as it could get. Anywhere else and it wouldn’t have gone in. Direct FKs aren’t being scored because the walls are like 8ft now (jumping with the man on the floor) and keepers are better. So much like that FK, it has to be inch perfect in the corner to go in, whilst also getting up and down over an 8ft obstacle, at enough pace to stop the keeper having chance to get across.

Tempted to hedge my bet and put a fiver on Palace @4/1. It'll end up a sodding draw if I do that though

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Martinez had a VERY long time to get across to that, it was hit from miles away.

 

[Squeak]

His injury record for them is absolutely horrendous, he seems to pick up a major injury every time he plays again. He can't have put together a run of games since being there

It was similar at Orlando. Only played 35 games for them in two seasons. Quite a few as a sub. Had to feel sorry for him as must be utterly devastating to have to undergo treatment at the Poorthawns all the time.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Sterling is absolutely shit these days.

No sure 26 yards counts as miles away…

As I said, the closer it gets from there the harder it is to get up, down and at pace.

 

[Squeak]

Sterling is absolutely shit these days.

Classic case of "I'm better than these, I won the Premier League don't you know."

How much is he on? 325K per week... for this?

 

[Wolftone]

Gimme a goal!!

 

[Wolftone]

Yesss!!

 

[Squeak]

Good tenner spent that...
