According to the BBC, this is the first week that Chelsea have not played a weekend and midweek match since the middle of November.

Or are you saying that you’ve just got up for the bigger games and generally been poor them aside?

Anyway listen to the Monday night club. Some good discussions. I personally don’t think the offside rule is that confusing regarding the Kane one, should we go back to the old way if you’re either on or off??
Not gonna listen but did they address the Lamela offside call at all? No one seems to want to answer to that one

Was that before the second penalty or?

That is a good point about very few improvements over last year.

Crazy to think that even if we win every game the rest of the way, we will still have fewer points than we did last season..

Ben Davies has been excellent imo. I know he was great in the second half of last season but he's been there from the start this year.

btw this angle shows clearly that Lovren was trying to clear and not just intercept the pass

I'd say slight improvement with Davies, Son and Sissoko.

Kane is Kane.

The others have pretty much all been the same or taken a step back, with Dele, Dier, and Dembele all disappointing.

We are lucky that none of the 2-6 teams have been consistently good.

We were so much better last season, yet I can still see us finishing 2nd or 3rd this season..

I mean, there's clearly come grey area at least. Clattenberg says it's offside, the ref's association (and ref's report) confirm they think they made the right decision, pundits seem split.

Amazing that interpretation of the laws of the game can still spark such debate.

If Chelsea sack Conte I like us to finish above them. Liverpool have been really good though and Man Utd are Mourinhoing all over the place.

West Ham have signed Evra apparently.

However, a back 4 doesn't suit Sanchez nearly as well as a back 5. Some fans have argued Dembele is shot (although I don't agree). Eriksen has improved recently, but over the season he's not been at his best. Dele has dropped off. We're just not as convincing individually.

Aside from Son, I don't think anyone has improved this season (Okay, Sissoko too....). If we were at the level of the last two seasons, we would probably be second in the table by a decent margin.
That's what happens when you don't have a squad though. Possibly Dele isn't as good as you thought? He should be getting banned for his tackles and dives though.

Also that Wembley curse from the start of the season didn't happen (if it didn't become an issue that is) you'd be in the same boat as us and very likely 2nd. I think you're being to harsh, Spurs defo up there.

They all agreed it was the correct decision on MNF and on five live.

Clatters is wrong, due to him saying he didn't try to play the ball. When he clearly did. That is the only grey part of it. He'd have been off if Lovern had been looking the other way and it hit his body on the way through.

They discussed it and supposedly afterwards he agreed and changed his mind - similar to Ian Wright once it was explained to him. Seems to be the pundits who disagree with it don't actually understand the law.

Sutton was being argumentative as usual saying someone should just stand at the edge of the box and try kick the ball off the attacking side from your own half, not realise that, that would be offside as they haven't went to play the ball. Also made a good point he'd have been better of just air kicking and it'd have been offside.

If you're not trying to play the ball you shouldn't be on the pitch

I get what you're saying, however I think it's eliminate the issue on free kicks? So you can't just blast the ball of the wall in the hope that it goes to your team mate in an offside position.
