       Chelsea v Fulham: Anthony Taylor

       Another absolutely intriguing call by VAR. How Gusto hasn't
       gone, for a studs up challenge with force that stamped the ankle
       on Willian, is unbelievable. Slip or not, that was an ankle
       breaker and is a red every day. And certainly in line with
       consistency this season it has to be given.

       Definitely an orange card and worthy of an OFR at the very
       least. Taylor needed to review that.
       Another (as predicted) Taylor Soft Penalty of the Week. There
       wasn't actually any contact, Sterling lifted his legs and threw
       himself to the floor

       Maybe a crisis of confidence for Michael Salisbury after his
       incorrect intervention against Calvert-Lewin last week. This one
       is right on the edge for me, and Gusto could have few complaints
       if that had been upgraded to red.

       Have to agree there, to me another case of an official not
       recognising SFP right in front of them.
       I guess pgmol will say its low so doesnt reach the threshold of
       a red card, to which i would say its ok to break someones ankle
       but not ok to break someones leg and the time out injured would
       be the same if not career ending. To be clear i am not saying
       the chelsea defender deliberately went out to break Willians
       ankle its just the consequences.
       Gusto saw red on review for a similar foul v Aston Villa at
       stamford bridge in september

       Whats the difference between Gusto's tackle and Curtis jones
       which he was shown a red card for?
       Penalty is similar to the Fernandes one on Monday, some contact
       but its still a dive.

       I see no point whatsoever in appointment of var for anthony
       taylors matches , none of them will point out an error made by
       him . Pathetic imo.

       There is always "some contact" so its not "clear and obvious"
       He has now given 11 penalties this season, at least 7 are very
       soft
       Wolves vs Newcastle
       Man City vs Chelsea
       Nottingham Forest vs Brighton
       Liverpool vs Newcastle
       Wigan vs Man United
       Now Today
       Reember the Europa League final as well- that had a soft pen

       Mixed bag from Taylor today, some good advantages, some yellows
       for nothing fouls and yet fouls like Thiago Silva committed two
       mins into the second half with a similarity to Gustos not even
       carded.
       Penalty award probably justified, certainly not as soft as his
       recent awards.
       I will take the mystic meg award for my comments earlier in the
       week on the appointments thread😂😂
       Not Taylors best performance but by no means his worst.
       Var seemed to want to keep well in the backgound ie snooze all
       match.

       Fulham were good for a point at least and had Chelsea on the
       rack at the end. Silva should've seen 2 yellows/red and Gusto
       red likewise, which no doubt would've made for a very different
       result.

       I wonder if the fact that Gusto was pulled back and fouled
       immediately before the tackle impacted the judgement? It should
       have been a free kick to Chelsea prior to the tackle.
       Taylor was extremely unpopular in the ground, due in large part
       to his perceived or otherwise history with Chelsea.
       For me there were a lot of inconsistencies throughout, and he
       seemed to give a lot Fulham’s way towards the end of the game.
       He missed some very clear fouls and tried to let play flow but
       then changed tack at the end.
