Anthony Taylor - Chelsea v Liverpool

Excellent non-penalty decision by Taylor.
Had a wonderful view of Caicedo’s strike.
Always good to watch him when he officiates well like this.

A good first half from the officials.
Him and Pawson are my 2 favourite referees in the PL who are
both officiating in some capacity in this match. Both seem to
have a genuine love for the game and officiate their matches in
a firm, yet understated way which can allow for quite a
spectacle.
Nice to see the yellow for Enzo Maresca too!

Antony Taylor is just showing his class.
One thing that always gets me with him. He uses his whistle so
much. Most re-starts he will blow corners, throw ins and goal
kicks. I just think it’s over use of the whistle.

‘The’ Craig Pawson?

Poor decision to book Szoboszlai when he clearly won the ball.
The non award of a free to Gakpo that led to the Slot caution is
also a poor decision.

Masterclass thus far from Taylor, this is what he’s capable of
when he’s at his best.
Hasn’t suffered fools, let a lot go fairly, and both managers
booked for poor (and unjustified) behaviour.
By the way, how poor are Liverpool?! Gapko and Wirtz in
particular can’t control the ball!

Szoboszlai kicks the shin recklessly, clear yellow. Gusto
clearly wins the ball, terrific decision from Taylor there. I
detest Chelsea as a club, so pains me to say it!

Excellent Taylor.
He’s had a great start to the season…
Liverpool back to back added time losses making up for first few
games of season….

What an unbelievable match! Breathless from start to finish,
felt like a basketball match at times.
Thought Taylor was excellent - the only poor decision was a
non-award of a free kick for a foul by Gusto on Gakpo. That
doesn’t excuse the YC for Slot for dissent. He’s getting a bit
of a bad reputation for dissent and arguing when things doesn’t
go his way. He looked like he indicated there was an elbow on
Isak when he fought with James in the penalty box - that was
simply laughable.
All penalty appeals correctly waved away.
This is what Taylor can do at his best and at his best I don’t
think there’s any PL official that can do better. A top
performance from him.

A masterclass in refereeing from Anthony Taylor this evening.
Only issue for me was as highlighted above Gakpo should've had
himself a free kick, Sobo booking I think is a justifiable
decision.
As for Liverpool, absolutely diabolical. I'm developing a
dislike for Slot as the weeks go by. He's one dimensional and
his attitude stinks.
As remarked above by someone, Arsenal should hang their heads in
shame if they don't win the title. If this keeps up as it is,
AFCB will get themselves a well deserved Champions League spot
boxed off by Christmas!
