Maupay was deliberately trying to intercept Tarkowski rather than challenging for the ball so it could be viewed as a foul on the Burnley player and so an advantage to them was fair from that point of view in my opinion. The thing not talked about that looked strange to me was the Burnley player physically backing into Sanchez on the line making it impossible for him to come for the ball or make a proper attempt to make a save which I thought was against the rules.

73 with Gundog, Benrahma and Antonio to go. Solid enough start to the season I guess. Outside chance of a ton yet too!

Ozvaldo

anyone that had fernandes and salah both in done well

paulos

67 with Fabianski, Dias and Soucek to go, Fernandes captain but no Salah

Chesty08

79 with Benny R, Antonio & Mahrez to go.

outside chance of cracking the 100.

Bench boost would of brought me 21 & I’d of been well happy with that.

82 with Antonio, Benrahma and Gundogan to play.

I played the bench which was good for 12 points.

Still annoyed I broke my main rule and made an overthought last minute change to a team I was perfectly happy with i.e. Greenwood out for Gundo, but we'll see how costly that was. I also had the fear yesterday that I took the armband off Fernandes in the same change but I didn't, thank fook.

Fred Astaire

They better be giving that goal to Cresswell because that gives me the Fornals assist.

This is a dreadful start for me. Only Salah and Greenwood doing something for me. No Bruno or Wilson. Hoping Benrahma can do something ...

more goals in this game, both teams open at back

Swaine

Wilson has scored against West Ham more than any other Premier League side.

West Ham have lost 5 straight opening season fixtures, and haven't scored in the last 4.

Two stats I really wish I had heard before Friday.

Had both in until around 10 minutes prior to KO yesterday when i decided I needed to beef up defence so brought in TAA and replaced Bruno with Greenwood.

Already taken the 4 point hit to reverse it for next week, that cheap Liverpool defender for TAA and Bruno back for Greenwood. Holding onto wc for now.
