#LFC | Have Chelsea Players Downed Tools Again? Can #EFC Get Relegated? & Clattenburg "Both Pens Offside"


Chelsea Players Downing Tools Again?


Chelsea lost 4-1 against Watford at Vicarage road with reports before the game suggesting Antonio Conte had to win tonight's match to save his job at Stamford Bridge.

After taking the lead midway through the second half Watford were looking for their first win in six Premier League games against a goal shy Chelsea side who were reduced to ten men after Tiemoue Bakayoko was sent off for his second yellow card in the first half.


Everyone can remember how Chelsea players downed tools during Jose Mourinho's last stint as manager at the Bridge after 'Eva Carneiro gate' and Leicester City went on to win the Premier League.

The question must be asked if the same thing is happening again after Chelsea's slump in form in recent weeks heaped pressure on the controversial Italian manager.

Reports today suggest Conte is copying Jose Mourinho's tactics in 2015 when he was sacked by Chelsea after continuous doubts over his future at the club.

Conte spoke out to state he had 18 months left on his contract in a political move which opens up talks of sacking the manager and paying the remainder of his contract but indicates he is not prepared to walk away from his lucrative deal.


With the Blues about to lose again it remains to be seen if Chelsea directors will look for a solution to the clubs poor form as they concede more ground in the race for a Champions League place next season.



Can Everton Get Relegated?

Everton's 5-1 hammering at Arsenal over the weekend will of had "We Are Rich" merchants running for the delete account settings with the Blue half of Merseyside's season going from bad to worse, to worse and worse again.

Can Everton get relegated? It must be a question which needs asking.



We all laughed as Sam Allardyce announced his plan to revive Everton's poor form was to "become even more boring", after their defeat to Spurs early in the new year with the thought surely sending shudders through the spine of every Evertonian given the current lack of entertainment levels at Goodison Park on a match day.

It was quite good to hear for Liverpool fans who have a dislike of Big Sam since his spats with the club in the Rafa Benitez days when he was Bolton manager and acted like a mouthpiece for Alex Ferguson.

Since then Big Sam has delivered on his promise and seemingly managed to make Everton even worse but are they bad enough to go down? 

Simple answer is yes.

This seasons relegation fight is more like a game of Beenio for a place in the league next season, with the class clown throwing tokens up in the air shouting the magic words triggering an unorganised and spontaneous scramble to stay in the league.

Everton are one of the teams who keeps picking one of the "I want to stay" tickets up, but dropping it time and time again.

Can they go down is one question, but will they go down is another, it remains to be seen.

Both Penalties offside - Clattenburg


After the madness of Jon Moss at Anfield on Sunday along with his partner in slime, linesman Ed Smart, fellow referee Mark Clattenburg has spoken out against the pair to state both Tottenham penalties should of been ruled out for offside.


Referees have to be 100% certain before awarding a penalty and Jon Moss was heard saying he was not sure if Lovren had touched the ball before asking Martin Atkinson via ear piece if he had anything on TV to help his decision when VAR is still not permitted in the Premier League.


Mark Clattenburg's comments come as the storm continues to surround Smart and Moss with Ed Smart coming under fire for being filmed celebrating Spurs second penalty being awarded by performing a fist pump which should see the official having to submit a statement to the FA to explain his actions just like former referee Mike reed after he was judged to have done the same thing after a Patrick Berger goal for Liverpool against Aston Villa in 2000.
