West Ham (A) Mon 23/08/21 @ 8pm Match Thread - Sky Sports

[Le Renard]

After getting our pants pulled down twice last season by West Ham, who done a 2015/16 Leicester on us.  I would have thought Rodgers would not want to get his arse kicked again by Moyes. Obviously his idea was to continue with the same tactics that lost us the games last year and hope for 3rd time lucky.

Are people actually saying that's not a red card?  Unironically?

'natural stumble position' I've heard it all now 

If you watch it it's quite obvious. As you stumble you dont dive over to the left, you fall forward. 

[Dr The Singh]

Brendan's tactics of ping pong between amartey and Soyuncu didn't work out.

[WoodyFox]

Tielemans on his way? Not even showing for it

[Mr Weller]

Whatever the wording of the rule says it makes no sense to punish a player for an accident. The purpose of a sanction is to deter but you can’t deter an accident so it serves no purpose.

 

People who say it’s a red all day long may be right insofar that’s what normally happens but whether it should happen is a different matter.

[foxinsocks]

Madders off. Soumare on.

[winteriscoming]

Get Nacho or Daka on for Maddison and go more direct. 

[escape2victory]

Really disappointing to see such lack of intensity in our play, so passive, all wanting an extra touch, really really poor and sloppy.

 

Thomas is playing like a competition winner, take him off. Need to have more in the middle with the 10 men, I’d go for the following :

 

                       Schmeichel

 

Ricardo        Amartey    Soyuncu     Castagne 

                            Ndidi    
                 Tielemans    Soumare

                        Maddison

       
                           Vardy (Daka after 60)

He does see the player, I’ve watched it over 

 

It’s reckless 

 

he tries to shield the ball from the play, that is all, the push from the west Ham player is what causes him to stumble into the player. It’s clear as day.

[Corky]

Daka on to get us up the pitch and Soumare in the middle to over some protection.

[justfoxes]

WELL THAT WAS A FUCHING DISAPPOINTING FIRST HALF !!

A few of our lads need to buck up their ideas they’ve been poor first half really hoping here Brendan needs to change things around Better second half please Lads  !!

[foxinsocks]

That red was down to ayozes terrible first touch

Yes, not me.

 

If that challenge was against our player I would be calling for blood.

Time for Rodgers to do his stuff

We can still win this

 

Rodgers has had all week to do his stuff and still manages to send a team out to play like that! Yes we’re missing players, but it’s surely his instructions that mean we spend all night passing between the back 3 and attempting to do nothing with it. 

[Webbo]

I don't think you're giving West Ham enough credit, they're pressing really well.

To try to shield the ball away from his man? Not “serious foul play”

Shield the ball by planting his studs onto Fornals ankle? 
 

Don’t get me wrong, it’s effective but I don’t think it’s within the rules.

[whetstonefox]

We look physically inferior to them tonight, not sure how we change that. It was a red card, can’t really complain.

Hope BR can inspire some magic but I just can’t see them letting up and we are so passive.

Mentally written this game off as a bad day at the office but then again it’s only 0-1.

Yeah I'm dumb kid. 

 

Who scored the winner last weekend? 

And before that? Look, Perez is cack, but he gets way way more stuck than he should

[Jonezy]

Meh.

 

We are losing every battle out there and then a properly correct, but very accidentally, red card. One of them days. Well at least our makeshift defence will get some proper practice 2nd half.

 

 

[Kevin Russell]

Commentators are awful !! 
 

Definite red card - reckless challenge despite being off balance

If we come back from this I'm crediting Perez. Give them possession, bang em on the counter. Boom

Wrong quote. And I even ****ed that up!!

[chrisfox]

just seen the super slo-mo, not once has he looked up away from the ball, Hinchcliffe said he clearly looked at the player
