7 min in and I?m convinced the refs will f@ck us

He's a dreadful ref, Cucarella should have gone and fair play to our chaps for not getting a 2nd yellow and in general not getting involved in Chelsea players' nonsense.

Chelsea were discgraceful, although I see it as a sign of respect. They clearly wanted to turn it into a kicking contest to throw us off our game, and it seemed to be working. I think it would have worked less well if we had Gabi and Saliba at the back to calm things down.

Of course the downside of that approach is that you risk getting a red card, as we saw. And of course, once they had the red, they were always going to surround Taylor at every opportunity to try and get one of us sent off. I actually thought Taylor handled that aspect of the game well. But some of his decisions were just baffling.

Caceido faking injury after the red card tackle is one of the most appalling things I've seen in some time. He really is a c*nt of a player.
