Hoping a New Thread may fix the posting issues.
I'd love to see Chiesa given 20 minutes in his best position (RWF) or at least left wing forward - instead he keeps getting thrown on as a lone centre forward. Which of course makes sense cause we literally only have one fit CF in the squad, and he's starting, but it's doing Chiesa a bit of a disservice to put him in a position he's just not at all suited for.
West Ham seem fairly high energy and won't take this lying down, but I do hope we can try and be a bit ruthless and score a few goals today. It will be the best opportunity over these next few games to start to redefine our season.
What a ball from Kerkez to Salah! Mo really should've done so much better from that position.
Lazy stuff there allowing that run.
Could have been stopped 5 yds from their box
Really good from Gakpo there, darting inside, then cutting back to Grav for a shot. I think he does that stuff more than he's given cedit for.
We're really letting WH back into this. They're winning every second ball.
We need to keep the tempo up and stop this bullshitty sleepwalking through the first half we've been doing for ages.
Get in
VVD !
Gomez right in front of keeper though. Keeper is never getting that. Given
Real uptick in set-piece results these days! Great finish, mountain of a man to make it so easy.
Had to get one of those corners !
Would you ever fcuk off VAR even looking at that.
What happened to you can't be offside from a corner?
Glad they ruled the goal stood as the goalie was the one interfering with Gomez instead of actually tracking the ball. I've seen them struck off for less.
2 goals up has not been a comfortable position for us this year tbh, we need to be looking at getting more, but finally a great start.
Alisson gets lucky
Every goal goes to var review. Nothing to do with offside.🤦♂️
If we make it 3-0 it'll be the first time we've had a 3-0 lead in the Prem since Ipswich in January 2025!
You can't on the initial kick, but once the ball is touched again, it re-applies. Gomez was in an offside state, but he didn't intefere with either the keeper coming for the ball or making a save.
If that's not getting a yellow for diving then I don't know what is
What is this i see before me..
Is it an enjoyable Saturday afternoon for once.
Still a little sloppy in parts.
Get another and WH will fold but still in the game at 2 nil
Playing well but we look exposed at times. There's a goal in this got West Ham if we don't tighten up. We're comfortable though, not often I can say that after 30 minutes.
Another couple on top of this would get us into the top 4, for a while anyway.
It's long overdue as a consequence of diving. Subjective ones are tough but that was bloody obvious.
Great block from Konate I think.
Grav asleep
Got away with two fookups now
You are a minute ahead of my stream. That was a shocking back pass
Too end to end this
No control over things
If wan Bissaka had just an extra yard of pace, we were goosed. We are open at the back again.
Bowen doing a Ramos to Kerkez
Gakpo has been very good. Nice combo with Kerkez.
Again, midfield are all at sea.
Lovely move, very good from Kerkez, and a good link up with Gakpo (nice change!). Mac had to tee it for Mo though.
Mac twice indecisive there in the box with what to do when recieving the ball.
Macca feels like he's not quite at the races, although last time he was like this he ended up scoring….
Definitely still a bit of complacency present in the team, hopefully a couple of those scares straightens them out a bit.
