    Yes, it can't always happen, but that was great defending and is punctuated by the fact that so often in that position a defender backs off and allows a shot to occur.

      If Arsenal play a high line and welcome balls over the top to Werner, I'm going to **** myself.

        Werner is waiting too long to have a shot.

        Well everyone is really.

            That was a Gary Cahill staple for us for nearly ~8 years.

            In defense of the defender, Timo’s acceleration is the best we’ve had at Chelsea and that’s counting Willian who’s still probably Top 2-3 in the world over a few steps. Fabinho didn’t have much help but Timo has to be more aggressive there. Good defending

              Lmao I’m pretty sure Henderson doesn’t actually think he’s ever committed a foul.

                    Is the rule that it doesn’t matter Kepa’s position?

                      It shouldn't. If every player gets a free rugby tackle every match, the game would be drastically different. Guendouzi tackling Zaha last year was the same, but it was in the middle of the pitch. Should've been a red, easily.

                        I meant from a clear goal scoring opportunity because Kepa is always getting to that ball first but the commentators said it doesn’t matter. I just don’t trust their understanding of the rules lol.

                        Kepa HAS to make a shout for that and just knock the hell out of Mane

                          I mean I definitely think the keepers position should matter, but obviously not in this case.

                          The problem is a player could just throw himself to the ground over a ball they will never get to first and it could still be called in their favor because the keeper position isn’t considered.

                            I need to see it again, but IF Christensen's not pulling on his shoulder surely Mane reaches the ball before Kepa.

                            EDIT: Seen it again, don't think Mane would have. Hendo's pass had too much pace on it.

                              I think Mane might have gotten a touch on it because he’s so quick but yeah that ball had so much pace that no one running at full speed would control it.

                                What do Chelsea do now, Tomori or Azp on? Who is sacrificed? Havertz?
