Chelsea 1-0 up v West Brom but down to ten men with Thiago Silva sent off

Brentford doing a Brentford. Determined to get into the plays offs and not go up again.

West Brom level and just hit the Bar.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Apr 03, 2021 1:19 pm

Now 2-1 to West Brom

Aclaret · Post by **Aclaret** » Sat Apr 03, 2021 1:22 pm

Not watching but sounds a good effort from the Baggies.

EricaJacko · Post by **EricaJacko** » Sat Apr 03, 2021 1:24 pm

WBA and Sheff U are down, so wanting them both to win today.

Chelsea were ok with 11 on the pitch. West Brom are also having defensive problems. Ivanovic came on for the injured O’Shea and then got injured himself to be replaced by Robinson.

West Brom scored after 45+2, hit the bar 45+3 and scored again 45+4.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Apr 03, 2021 1:54 pm

It’s 3-1 now. Robinson has just scored his fourth Premier League goal, every one of them against Chelsea.

Newcastle will be feeling the pressure going into their game against Spurs on Sunday. Another defeat would have the Geordie fans bricking it.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Apr 03, 2021 1:59 pm

Get this scoreline

Chelsea 1 West Brom 4

Burnley Ace · Post by **Burnley Ace** » Sat Apr 03, 2021 2:00 pm

What are Chelsea doing? No leadership no character!

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Apr 03, 2021 2:01 pm

Now 4-2 at Chelsea

Burnley Ace · Post by **Burnley Ace** » Sat Apr 03, 2021 2:03 pm

Thought Werner might have messed that up!

GodIsADeeJay81 · Post by **GodIsADeeJay81** » Sat Apr 03, 2021 2:12 pm

What a bizarre game

His confidence is shot. I can't think of many strikers that wouldn't have shot from 6 yards instead pulling it back for Mount to score.

I need him to have shot on target for my bet.

Is it just a lack of confidence or a realisation that he’s not good enough?

GodIsADeeJay81 · Post by **GodIsADeeJay81** » Sat Apr 03, 2021 2:21 pm

I think he's plenty good enough, just confidence shot to pieces.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Apr 03, 2021 2:22 pm

Now Chelsea 2 West Brom 5 - Robinson again

I'm definitely not good enough but there's no doubt I would have shot and expected to score.

Makes our 0-0 look quite respectable

Love these sort of results where these big clubs get put down. More like this please.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Apr 03, 2021 3:42 pm

Second game suggests nothing similar for Sheff United. They are 1-0 down at Leeds and not threatening.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Apr 03, 2021 3:49 pm

Sheff United have done what West Brom have done and equalised in first half stoppage time

Blimey, it was a good effort. What happened with Chelsea ?

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Sat Apr 03, 2021 3:51 pm

Listening to the commentary on Radio 5 live. Leeds love in for the whole of the first half... then Sheffield go and equalise. Great stuff.

Took advantage of playing against ten but for much of the first half they hadn’t been in the game.

Aclaret · Post by **Aclaret** » Sat Apr 03, 2021 4:02 pm

Not a great deal of footy on today is there.
Some good ones tomorrow, with ourselves, Brighton, Newcastle, Fulham all playing.
Leicester v Man City at 5 30 today, I may watch that one.

My stream is still buffering on the 38th minute...what's happening?

Chelsea playing out from the back to give away the second goal right on half time was brilliant, long may it continue!

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Apr 03, 2021 4:12 pm

Leeds back in front - Jagielka own goal

Must be a Chelsea thing

Shevchenko
Torres
Werner

All TOP strikers (especially the first two)

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Apr 03, 2021 4:36 pm

Brewster has just come on for Sheff U for their second concussion substitution of the game.

Ally McCoist said with Brewster’s arrival: “Sheffield United have definitely got some goalscoring threat on the pitch now.” Maybe his words will get him his first goal.

ClaretDiver · Post by **ClaretDiver** » Sat Apr 03, 2021 4:48 pm

That was a cracking effort from Brewster there.....

Watching the Leicester v Man city............Taylor is an awful ref!
He buys all of city's cheating.

He lives in Wythenshawe doesn't he ?.... say no more.

With West Brom now seven points behind Newcastle would be interesting if they won their next game at home to Southampton.

Surely they couldn't escape.

Hope they don’t.

I think De Bruyne is asking the same question. So I took a look and Peter Bankes was on VAR.

I thought I’d made a mess of mine with the beard trimmer ( I had) but not quite as bad as Attwell.

Has Aubameyang had hair extensions fitted?
