‘We’re Done For’ ‘No, No, No’ ‘Where Is The Petition?’ Chelsea Fans Not Happy As Referee For Liverpool Clash Is Revealed

‘We’re Done For’ ‘No, No, No’ ‘Where Is The Petition?’ Chelsea Fans Not Happy As Referee For Liverpool Clash Is Revealed

Referee Anthony Taylor will take charge of Chelsea’s game against Liverpool next week.

The match official hasn’t beemn in the middle for a Blues game since the 2-2 draw against Tottenham back in August, which saw then manager Thomas Tuchel fined £20,000 for his comments about Taylor‘s poor refereeing. Fans on Twitter are understandably unhappy that he has been given another Chelsea fixture:

The Spurs match was not the first time that the Blues have had a run-in with Taylor. He sent off Reece James for a handball in a draw against Liverpool at the start of last season, and he gave Mateo Kovacic his marching orders in the FA Cup final a year earlier.

With the clash versus the Reds taking place at Stamford Bridge next Tuesday, Taylor’s performance will be closely scrutinised. Any calls that go against Graham Potter’s side will be put under the microscope but, hopefully, he officiates the game even-handedly.
