What the fcuk are the Chelsea fans going on about? Fabregas could have got a straight red card for that, never mind a second yellow. Crazy tackles by both him and Cahill.

Awful challenge. Some action in all fairness. Entertaining!

Straight red, would you stop. :pac: It was a yellow.

I think at this stage if the referee found the cure to world hunger, Chelsea fans would shout abuse at him. The amount of things they've incorrectly thought he was wrong about is impressive

ha, thats rich coming from you lot

Morata changes the game with a goal and an assist!

Burnley have bloody 11 players and they look like they have 9

woohoo..triple points for him as my captain in fantast football.
Morata is a class player who's been successful in Italy and Spain..can't believe some morons were writing him off after a penalty miss.

Read my post again; "could".

Pawsons been Burnleys best player today.

GreNoLi

Pickford will be an excellent signing for everton, great save.

It seems he's doing the job of 10 other players too

TBF ye only have yourselves to blame. Seemed to be devoid of any creativity until Morata came on.

That_Guy

Brilliant game. Had everything really.

Love a good pissy crowd.

Burnley are brutal even if that's a great result for them.
Couldn't even compose themselves against 9 men. I still think they will go down.

Trigger

Right, from the televised games (3) we have had 19 goals Man City up next which should give us some more

Andersonisgod

Club have done great getting Morata to the club. He's legitimately world class. The rest of the team needs work though. Waiting til the end if September for Hazard and Bakayoko isn't going to cut it.

Defeat nothing to do with the attitude of the players or the fact that two decided to make stupid fouls out of frustration no?

Pawson did a good job imo.

Cantona's Collars

Huddersfield fans screen grabbing the league table.

Have to agree with Brian Kerr on the radio. Chelsea have no depth to their squad yet they loan out around 20 players a year, with Loftus-Cheek and Zouma both starting in the PL today. While they had Scott and Tomori on the bench with Boga starting. Baffling policy.

Loftus-Cheek and Zouma don't want to be squad players, they are 21 and 22, they need to be starting week in week out. We need to bring in more players alright but those young lads want proper game time that they won't likely get here.

Agent Coulson

Brighton are going to get mullered.

As much as i love Morata, he is a long way from being World class, he has the potential to be though so don't get me wrong.. you are over-rating him just as much as others are underrating him

jaykay74

Ref got the 2 red card calls right. Burnley seem very poor. It'll be a surprise if they win another away game all season. Think they might have only won once away last year.

Yeah a long way to go for him, today was really positive though, his movement and runs were that of a top class player. He looks made for the league.

He loves playing off the shoulder of the defenders as you can see it means he is offside a lot.. but hey so was Inzaghi.. Ive no doubt he will be a cracking signing for ye, its the rest of the squad/depth that yiz need to worry about

pjohnson

How can Chelsea fans be agreived with the red cards? Cahill was awful with the tackle and Fabregas seemed in a huff/tantrum the whole match

Agent Coulson

Fabregas was lucky he got a second yellow that should have been a straight red card for me and a 3 game ban not the 1 he is now going to get.

chopperbyrne

That Brighton stadium looks great.

Still think City will win comfortably today though.

Trigger

This is going to be a mauling, Brighton look terrified when city run at them

Andersonisgod

Love watching Jesus play.

GavRedKing

2 reds were correct, no argument.

However, arfield should have been sent off for the tackle on alonso which was as bad as cahill and he got nerly every free kick call incorrect.

We deserved a draw but the depth on the squad is a worry now with two reds today

Did Silva lose a bet?

The only thing incorrect here is that statement

I remember reading somewhere a few years ago that bars in the away section stock a local beer from where the travelling team are from. Simple but cool gesture.

That_Guy

Brighton have zero idea what to do when they get the ball past halfway.

pjohnson

Brighton doing well. Honestly thought they'd be 2 down

Trigger

Thats a great call by the officials

Johner

What a joke of a yellow.

GreNoLi

Yellow? Poor decision.

JaMarcusHustle

I dunno, looked intentional to me.

Him staying down for so long doesn't help his case either. They always do that!

Think it was for intentional hand ball.. thought it looked intentional myself on the replays

Don't know if he even knows he got booked.

And on the 3rd minute, Jesus did rise again.... and got a yellow card? Ah now.

Watching on a stream but I thought it looked accidental.
