I'd have harboured a little query if it had been given against us.  

 

John Barnes just called it "a little bit soft", which I'd go with rather than blatant.

 

 

Yes, it's possibly soft in the sense that he's running away from goal and he probably doesn't need to fall, but it's a clear foul so there can't be any argument really. Perhaps "definite" would have been a better word.

Well I dont think Henderson and Wijnaldum have been any better. And they definately weren’t any better when they were his age. I do agree he’s struggling in this formation, a bit like Shaqiri also does they’re maybe a bit similar type of players. But then also the team could be set up to suit them better when they play.

Both were miles better than Jones at a similar age

Our midfield cannot move the ball, our Achilles Hill. Hence spend our time pinging the ball left to right, and then back. Alacantra was supposed to be the solution but he's is joining Keita and Ox. The sooner we sell the latter two and buy one dynamic midfielder. 

We've certainly got an Achilles hill to climb in this half.

Just had Phillips to score 18-1 . I must be nuts 

[Numero Veinticinco]

Carra doesn’t half talk some bollocks sometimes. 

[niallers]

26 shots conceded and 15 goals against this season! Even mignolet was better than that

Hopefully, with no further Dr Zeus defending.

Fuck me Trent can’t defend

Naty P. has been as good as we could realistically expect. Gomez on the hand, is a fucking time bomb. West Ham have been shite but there's the vibe that they'll make something happen every time they get forward. 

Yeah fuck that off. 

[Lee909]

Trent really needs to stop letting players cross. I know we haven't been arsed by that with Virg back there but without him stop the fucking source of attack

[J-V]

Come on Mane do a goal

[J-V]

Fucking hell bring Jota on

We should make some substitutions, then we'll have a better (Po)seidon. 

[rubble-rouser]

Not even really pressing are we?

[J-V]

So he calls the free back after we clear it the fucking scum

[stringvest]

Is Salah playing with one contact lens?  The amount of air kicks is unbelievable

Green Eggs and West Ham

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Gomez gives away the free kick, then goes completely to sleep. Kind of thing Van Dijk won’t allow I can imagine.

Centre Mid by the looks of it
