Important thing about this offside isn’t the line, but that the freeze frame VAR used shows the ball already in motion! If the tech doesn’t have the frame rate to capture the moment, then measuring the line is void, invalid. PGMOL could at least use the freeze frame -1 to give attacker the advantage

At Kidderminster Harriers, who are managed by Phil Brown. A lot of astros around. Not many suede shoes.

Not seen anyone else say it, so I will: Fabianski should be sent off for punching Gabriel in the face. Serious foul play: “endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality “

Both teams have been poor today. Leicester have barely shown up and I'd argue Maresca's dtrange 3-1-5-1 formation just hasn't worked. Chelsea are winning because they have better players - but they've been well below their best.

Ankle-breaker from Ndidi. VAR relaly should have turned that into a red card.

Terrible defending from Leicester for that goal. Hermansen kicking it long from a GK, after calling his CBs short, is what plays Jackson onside when the ball comes back... dreadful all round.

Never normally do the whole “spoke well I thought” about new managers, mostly because @footballcliches.bsky.social lives rent free, but this Amorim interview is genuinely noteworthy. Shades of early Klopp in his openness and clarity describing his ideas. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Emery has got his team selection all wrong here. Ball getting stuck at Konsa and Cash, who can’t build out between them. Villa need another CM in that right mid slot to come infield. Without that, Villa cannot pass forward and Spurs find it too easy to funnel Villa into a dead end around Konsa.

Villa’s away form is a (slight) issue for Emery this season, with 7 points won from 6 games. Here’s me on why that is, for the Premier League site 👇 Can Villa fix away form to become genuine title contenders? www.premierleague.com/news/3793326
