VAR inconsistency – How on earth was Moises Caicedo NOT sent off for a challenge that saw studs strike a Brentford player’s ankle?

VAR inconsistency – How on earth was Moises Caicedo NOT sent off for a challenge that saw studs strike a Brentford player’s ankle?

It’s utterly baffling given that we, as Liverpool fans, had been told that Curtis Jones’ tackle on Yves Bissouma, accidental or no, was worthy of a red card upon review by VAR, despite Simon Hooper initially awarding a yellow card.

The Premier League is just rife with officiating inconsistencies at the minute, isn’t it?

At least the poor call didn’t cost Brentford in their 2-0 win over the Blues at Stamford Bridge.

In a surprising turn of events, Chelsea fell to Brentford with goals from Ethan Pinnock and Bryan Mbeumo. The defeat at Stamford Bridge came as a shock, dashing hopes of a resurgence for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

One player under the spotlight is Raheem Sterling, who failed to make an impact in today’s match. Sterling’s inconsistency, evident in alternating stellar performances and lackluster displays, poses a challenge for Chelsea. While he delivers in some games, his disappearing act in others hampers the team’s overall success.

 

In the face of today’s defeat, Sterling’s underperformance adds to the frustration for Chelsea. For the team to bounce back and maintain a competitive edge, players like Sterling need to exhibit consistency. The Englishman’s ability to contribute in back-to-back games becomes crucial in aiding Chelsea’s quest for positive results.

As Chelsea grapples with the setback against Brentford, addressing the issue of inconsistency, particularly in key players like Sterling, will be pivotal for Mauricio Pochettino. The team needs reliable contributors to ensure a more stable and effective performance in upcoming matches.

 

The 0-2 loss against Brentford serves as a wake-up call for Chelsea, emphasizing the importance of consistency throughout the squad. Raheem Sterling, among others, must step up to the challenge of delivering impactful performances consistently, providing the stability needed for Chelsea to regain momentum in the Premier League.
