32 really

I reckon 0% of players in English football have English passports

20? Not sure who’s counting as a forward and who isn’t.

Mount is such a prick

I guess then the question would be, why would we only hear the interactions between the ref and the VAR, and not the conversations with his other assistants? It probably would be chaos, it’s hard to disagree - but maybe it’s worth an experiment or two?

I don’t mind not hearing the conversations live. I would still quite like to hear (or see) the reasons for decisions during the match, once they’ve reached a decision.

Especially as at the moment you get a worse experience live than sat at home. That’s bonkers.

Yes, book both of the radgy kids

Don’t be soft, never a foul and a moronic booking.

Great save

Shocking header. Or, more accurately, necker.

Eddie waiting for the board to go up before throwing on the full backs?

Conceding almost 3 goals a game on average now. Not great.

Piss poor from Raya.

Lovely pass to the corner from Jesus

Feel like Chelsea have 13 men. Working their socks off out there.
