What a strange December for Chelsea. Beat Villa and Tottenham. Lose to 3 bottom half teams. Yet still in 4th and have disappointing Arsenal on Sunday. 

Mourinho rolled out a Dier/Sissoko midfield pairing against Chelsea that couldn't pass their way out of a paper bag. Chelsea rightfully pressed high and kicked our ass. Spurs looked poor against Brighton today until they took out Winks for Eriksen.

Unreal what they are doing this year.  As a fan of sports it’s awesome to see a team perform at this level.

 

It really is so fun to watch. And you are correct when all the players are bought in and know their roll there is nothing better than watching a team run their system to perfection or as close to it as you can get.

It's one thing when it's just blatantly a bad call or someone is obviously offsides and the linesman misses it. But fractions of a body being off is ridiculous. I agree with Robbie, the rule needs to be changed to a foot offside and not this fraction of an inch of skin. The EPL has to fix this with VAR. It's ridiculous that a brilliant series by the Wolves is disallowed on a minor technicality.

The aspect of VAR that I never see discussed is how do you determine when the ball contact is measured? There’s a window of time (however small) when the foot is in contact with the ball and then the ball leaves the foot. There’s some wiggle room there that could be the difference between off side or not.
