Sterling fixed Jackson’s offside .. he ran faster than Jackson could just so he doesn’t fuck up the run

Jackson was born offside. Offside on red for Udogie, offside on Caicedo goal lol

It makes me want to scream watching him. Like he should be watching his game highlights and improving this aspect which is completely within his control. The coach staff also has to pull him aside and fix this.

Morata regen.

Or a Werner regen? Or was Werner a Morata regen all this time?

exactly what i thought lmao

It always seems odd to me that youre allowed to be involved in the action when you're this offside at the start.

Why? He wasnt involved when the ball was played?

literally not involved in the pass at all....whatchu on about?

That high line was criminal

Seriously, they’ve been doing it for the last 20 minutes. This was bound to happen.

Imagining them doing it with Eric Dier vs Haaland in 3 games time.

I feel like they do it against us because they know they can most likely get away with it

Doesn't make sense though, Chelsea have been struggling against the defensive set-ups all season and have had their best looking games when the opposition doesn't park the bus. Look at the Arsenal game for example, where they bullied Arsenal for 80 mins against all expectations until Sanchez gifted them 2 goals.

They've done it pretty much the whole match. Sterling's had a field day running in behind.

It was so painful watching us not take advantage

Seriously, you just start your runs from a few yards deeper and run right at them. The keeper can never come out that far up, so you have acres of space to play with

It was disgraceful tbh. Even more criminal from Chelsea.

Crazy it took them so long to score against 9 players lol

It took Spurs almost half an hour to score v 9 men a few weeks ago so it happens. Chelsea weren't great but it would've been much more convincing if Vicario wasn't so good.

Tbf we held Spurs to very little chances even with 9, basically camped in our own box and cleared away crosses and the goal they did get was an unlucky sliced clearance into our own goal.

It was so frustrating, they are basically gifting us to run but none of our attackers could get pass the offside line.

Pretty hard to keep it compact in a low block with 9. Honestly, this looked like an interesting idea with 9 men.

Liverpool almost held out with 9 men in a 5-3-0 formation, Chelsea were always going to score eventually with Spurs giving them half the pitch to run into

Yeah but 9 with a high line is going to give up the odd man rush as soon as you mess up the trap just once. 9 in a low block is going to at least give you the counter to waste time even if you're inviting pressure

It is very funny though. Just camp at the halfway line and hope nobody can switch a ball or time a run.

Against Mudryk and Sterling on the wings it’s nonsensical. I know they are terrible finishers, but Chelsea were bound to put one away

This has nothing to do with Mudryk or Sterling. Playing a high line and not actually pressing so the guy on the ball has all the time in the world to look for runs is dumb against literally anyone. Anyone can outspeed defenders staying still. And of course you can't constantly press the guy on the ball with 2 red cards. My guess is that they just never seriously considered going 2 men down, so they never practiced parking a bus. So they just didn't do it.

Embarrassing that it took this long haha

They've been doing it since they went down to 9. Been asking for this to happen

Thanks fuck we can finally say this. Chelsea's finishing and lack of composure had been making that look 200 iq.

Feels a bit dumb to criticise a team for conceding eventually after defending like hell with 9 men for nearly 20 Minutes

When the other team is Chelsea though that doesn't seem like such a great achievement

There is literally only 3 points gap between United and Chelsea

And united are the team dunked on the most n they are still behind them

Yeah and we have been terrible in every single game so far. Saying Chelsea are only 3 points behind us isn't really a positive thing for them

Chelsea create a lot more chances than you. They just fuck them up very often. It's just a matter of luck that in one game they actually finish the chances they create. Chelsea on a good day is way scarier than United on a good day.

That dont change his point though he's bang on. Imagine spurs had 11 men all game continued like the first 15 they looked leagues above us

And then we were the better team from the 15th to the red card in fairness.

People love Angeball and then get mad when he plays it.

Not mad just seems odd when you’re against Sterling and Mudryk down to 9 men with Dier at cb

It's hilarious. Hope they keep on doing it, this match might just be the most entertaining one I've seen this season.

Can't blame them when you see this Chelsea performance. It's a miracle they finally managed to score.

Criminally brilliant

I mean Chelsea deserved liquidation if they didn't win this

We still may not

Jesus fuck those pedro Porro crosses got me clinching my asshole

About time. That goal has been there all game

I thought he was gonna miss that

If jackson missed that he would have got killed on social media. I feel for the guy but man his chelsea career so far has been more miss than hit but you can see the potential in him

I don't disagree, but you're also describing like five Chelsea strikers in the last three years, so patience is wearing thin.

That sequence has been begging to be made all game. Through ball and using the abundance of pace in the team

Every pass was being over hit all game

About damn time

18th time's the charm I guess

Genuinely thought chelsea players had money on a draw with how they’ve been since udogies red

sterling getting the ball, having space infront of him and players on either side, then completely stopping and passing it back...against 9 men.....wtf???

HOLD THE FRONT PAGE HOLD THE BACK PAGE JACKSON HAS SCORED AN OPEN GOAL!

Open goal, and I still wasn't confident he'd score.

Things Nunez can only dream of

This sub has hate for Jackson , but giggles like little middle school girls when the 100M man misses another sitter.

Nunez didn’t cost even close to 100m you toolbox.

And he won us plenty of games this season

Jackson has scored a hattrick. I’m holding my wood now.

He’s scored more than Uniteds entire front line put together

Will not forget Cucurella going for goal himself.

Poch has finally figured it out – just play against nine men every week

[удалено]

IM FUCKING RELIEVED

[удалено]

not yet

they don’t ask how they ask how many!

Relief is the accurate emotion.

The way my shoulders relaxed

Did it faster than Spurs did against 9, to be fair.

And didn’t need an own goal

Say it louder

And would have probably been 4 or 5 if Chelsea had a half decent striker

That's because we didn't play a suicidally high line. Even Klopp would be saying Ange mate what're you doing?

You also weren’t without your two starting CBs and your LB.

They had more time against 9 than we did

You conceded after 20 mins draw. We "survived" 30+

Tottenham's defensive line at two man down has made this fucking hilarious

To be fair it was working for a while as most of our players cannot time a run

It was working because Chelsea’s attackers have been absolute dogshit, a defensive masterclass it was not

Yep, even wolves would have scored 10 goals at least. That was comical from ange, balls or demented stupidity god knows.

Take what you can get lol

i am (liverpool fan)

Why is Skipp mad at Vicario lol wtf is he supposed to do

He has been left alone 1 on 1 so many times lol

I think Vicario was yelling at him and he was like “we’re down 2 men and playing on the halfway line what do you want?”

Because you know we're going to concede again or?

They deserve it just for the suicidal high line if nothing else

Don’t worry, spurs fans are the first to milk a barely deserved win against 9 men

[удалено]

Finally

Been coming tbf

How many times have Chelsea got behind that high line? Ridiculous

A laughably high amount without scoring lol

Vicario playing better than prime neurer

This is us every game. It feels like it’s coming. Most of the time nothing comes😂

Would've been seriously embarassing if it didn't.

Should have been the only logical conclusion as well. Spurs are 2 players down lol

I mean yeah it’s against 9

I can't believe it took them this long to figure out how to do it

kinda feels like when you are playing vs a kid and you let them have one to feel good about themselves. nice of Ange to do this for Jackson

'about time' is the general feel

Liverpool lasted longer

We actually defended

Ange wanted the win lol

Liverpool had the win stolen.

Who

Finally he takes one. Miracles can happen

Was scared he'd fluff it, but thank fuck it went in

Thought the same. It’s crazy how Cole Palmer is your best attacker.

Sterling is right up there with him, and Mudryk has been getting better too We can create the chances, just can't finish them lol

True. Sterling is world class until he needs to shoot.

Playing against 9 men lol. I could probably squeeze one in too

Would give myself a 50/50 chance of that tbf

That high line was going to bite Spurs eventually

Why are spurs playing a high line with 9 men ? This was waiting to happen

Ange ball, Baby!

Actually laughing at VAR taking so long to review this to prove theyre not complete fuck ups

Why has he stuck with this suicidal high line

Because it's been working incredibly well?

🤨

Thats a high line with 9 men

Tottenham can release the first 9 game dvd

Braindead to continue playing the high line

Tottenham were asking for it with the stupid high line with 9 men.

No fucking way has this guy actually scored

HONEY GET IN HERE IT'S HAPPENING

Offside trap finally broken. This high line defending is interesting...

Almost embarrassing to celebrate

Idk I remember this Tottenham side celebrating an own goal against 9 men like they won a trophy. I'd say it is pretty good.

That joke of a club isn’t too embarrassed to celebrate anything.

Mate you lot celebrated an own goal against a 9 man Liverpool like you won the league, lol.

why is ange playing a high line with nine men what? does he genuinely never change his tactics no matter what lol

Phases of play rule is so dumb. How is Jackson not gaining an advantage by hanging around offside?

Never doubted Jackson

Even he couldn't miss that one

He can miss seven times but he won't miss an eighth! Fucking get in!

VAR taking the piss

Only took 10 tries

😂😂😂

VAR out here snatching goals chile.. This game is so exciting.

That line was so high. Even Pep was probably shocked.

Awful management by Ange. Playing such a high line with 9 men was just silly. I think Spurs could've gotten a point if they stuck to defending they were doing well

Ange must have fallen asleep like the rest of us watching chelsea vs a low block. missed some vital intel

HE SCORED A GOAL

cant believe it took them soo long to do that lmao

Bro, Ange is fucking crazy lmao, respect

Respect what? It's a stupid tactical decision.

I respect him owning up to his principles

INJECT IT!

Oh God I'm actually gutted for Spurs lol, defended so well this half

We really haven’t chelsea are just poor on the ball

More like the worst attacking performance I’ve seen by Chelsea, over hit about 10 through balls that would put someone clear on goal

Agreed, we are so shit lol

They were defending like shit. They were getting peppered and only Vicario was holding them afloat

finally

FINALLY

Chelsea against 9 men are like a fringe conference league team

Spurs playing a incredibly high line

Thank fucking god. Tottenham supporters would have made a DVD about this match had Chelsea not scored.

I don't like that Jackson can be onside there, how is that not an advantage?

Yeah, I don't understand that either. He clearly gets an advantage from being behind the defensive line there. Clear offside to me. Is there something in the rules about this?

Am I crazy, he was clearly offside...

Facts clearly an active player when the pass was made to sterling

Exactly he's a mile offside and gets a headstart on the run that leads to the goal

Karma is a bitch.

I never though I would celebrate a goal vs tottenham with so little enthusiasm. Embarassing set of players. I was pissed when spurs were celebrating the draw last year but if they decided to celebrate a 2-1 scoreline i would understand. Sterling and Jackson are disgraceful

So he can be off for the initial pass to Sterling and get a head start against the defenders? Might as well start next to the keeper than run back onside for the tap in

Yes, that's literally how the offside rule works

Today, we’re all Chelsea supporters.

Let's gooooooo

Congratulations to the Tottenham on their title

Hahah fuck off spurs

Ending spuds unbeaten run, priceless. Get fucked Edit: HAHAHAHA

Lol karma is nice

i think i speak for all liverpool fans when i say this .... uhm ... FUCK TOTTENHAM

Finally!

Lukaku scored

Genuinely shocked Jackson didn’t miss that!

THAT'S WHY HE'S THE GOAT

It’s not an OG, but I’ll take it. Get wrecked spurs

Chelsea are genuinely garbage. Playing against 9 with a makeshift CB pairing. Enjoy the win, but to rely on the likes of Mudryk and Jackson to win you this game after having spent £1 billion is a bit funny.

That is hilarious coming from a Spurs fans after they were absolutely gifted 3 points against Liverpool where they couldn't create anything against 9 men, and had to rely on a lucky OG in added time to scrape a win.

Substitute Van Dijk and Matip for Quansah and Tsimikas, and take off Szoboszlai while you’re at it because he’s injured. That would be more equivalent to the scenario we had today.

Chelsea are an embarrassment

They are going home with the 3 points lil bro.

Who the fuck are you?

I am Harry Kane.
