So going by their non sendingsn off today, I guess the new Premier League rules are one rule for Chelsea, another for everyone else?

Commentator for BT said something like Gallagher is the only midfielder in the top five leagues with the most tackles, dispossessions, presses and other things in the whole of Europe. Can't remember exactly, might have also included fouls and height of the top knot, or docks with teammates in the showers because I wasn't really listening. But interesting that it's being picked up how influential he appears to be.
I've got eyes and he looked fucking useless today. Save hitting the post. Which is still useless.

What in the name of fuckin god is that? We've got the Ashburton Army wet wipes and now this lot..
What ever is happening to the game/culture that was proper life.
It's some kind of promotional gimmick for the release of a film that Boehly has a hand in.

Just watched motd. How was that tackle by Gusto on Willian not a red card based on others that have been given this season?!
Because it was the Chavs.
Just watched a recording of MOTD
The tackle on Willian was a clear red card imv
If that was any of our players then they would have won sent off
Disgraceful
Don't be melodramatic...they've only had 8 penalties this season
Absolutely sickening watching motd so called pundits saying its a yellow because there was no malice. No thoughts of their own, afraid to criticise officials.
In my opinion MOTD is not fit for purpose anymore
They've been criticising officials for weeks on end. Lineker even stated that he was embarrassed to have pushed for VAR.
Having said that, their 'it's only a Yellow' take was ridiculous. Even worse was the reasoning that it wasn't dangerous! Studs up, into the shin, with the force of your body weight behind the lunge isn't dangerous?
I'd bet you a pound to a pinch of shit that if either of those 2 were on the receiving end, they'd be calling Red all day long.
Didn’t Micah say reckless but not malicious?
I’ve no love for Willian but that was nearly a leg breaker!
Been happening all season since the Liverpool game, we get reds, everyone else gets a yellow at best for same challenge
Also how the fuck do they know there was no malice? Can they read players minds now?
What difference does it make whether you "meant it" if you almost break another player's leg with a tackle? Should be a straight red either way.
Honestly though, MOTD kinda led the curve on biased punditry towards certain teams, remember the days of Hansen & Lawrenson, where every week turned into a Dippers love in?
There was no malice in Romero's either but it was still a red lol.
Neither does Pep...and a lot of other coaches because it's a stifling thing to do to supposed 'creativity'...but don't let that stop the circle jerk...
7 twats all wearing the same gear - wankers on a Stag Do weekend?
What the fucking hell is that?
Two things...1) what you said and that to which I responded was this...
...which is slightly different connotation to the most recent 'attacking sequences'.
2) a don't double down on it because you'll look foolish when primary source proof shows up. He says he gets players to the final third and let's them express themselves...so Yes! I'm surprised you could be so bold in response and not know this...but it's true for him and a lot of other 'attacking' coaches. And Poch said the same thing but in our best times there did seem patterns of attacking play but that's just players doing what they do and that's why it looks 'trained'...everyone has habits and preferences...and not everyone strangles the life outta football like Conte.
edit: and to be clear, "attacking sequences" is, to me, less granular than "final third combinations". FTC implies, to me, directing where players should pass instead of a broader perspective of getting players into positions for overloads and letting them figure it out from there.
