Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal: Should Trevoh Chalobah's opening goal have
been disallowed due to Enzo Fernandez being in an offside
position?

I've not seen conclusive proof that Enzo is offside (can't see
the defender's feet on the stills I have seen).
However, assuming he was in an offside position then it
absolutely should have been ruled out, for the same reason
Brentford's equaliser against Chelsea should have been (but
wasn't). I'm not sure if Enzo is trying to play the ball, but he
is offside and impacting the defender. Equally, Arsenal's goal
against Spurs should have been ruled out with 2 players in the
eyeline of the keeper.
It seems like we're getting more and more decisions that might
be technically correct but would not be what fans expect. I'd
like the laws to result in decisions that are easily supportable
by fans.

> Agree totally that the overall feeling is the ridiculous
behaviour of players which is really starting to ruin PL
football. Thought Taylor did very well - composed throughout,
despite the antics. No issue with number of cards when
absolutely cast iron and players refuse to stop committing
offences - nothing ref can do about it.

He looked fed up when he gave a free kick at the end 🤣

I am scratching my head trying to think of any law that is
easily supportable by fans.
