Alan Smith said that’s what he heard the VAR say.

“Although he got a touch of the ball, there was no attempt to play it”, which I guess means the VAR thinks that the ball being touched by Cash was a fluke.

Dunno about that though, you can see him attempt to go for the ball but couldn't get to it because there was contact with the player.

Looks like Angel Gomes has been knocked out cold.

not good :S

 

[WestGorton]

If Duran comes on will West Ham bring on Spandau or even Visage?

 

[OntarioBlue]

I do like watching Kudus of West Ham, he’s very entertaining.

Kudus is class.

Absolutely, I'd love to see him at City.

I think that's just TV misinterpreting what they've said.

"No clear play on the ball" basically means even though he got a touch, it didn't meaningfully change the direction or the speed of the ball and therefore it doesn't negate the foul.

If he'd have got more on it, no foul. But the touch was deemed irrelevant because it made no real difference to Soucek's ability to play the ball.

Dunno about that though, you can see him attempt to go for the ball but couldn't get to it because there was contact with the player.

I agree. I think BBP has nailed the interpretation.

If I’m Gabriel Jesus, I’d be reporting the Wolves player for sexual assault. Weird how little has been made of it.

Who is this 'packet of tar' character

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Duran is a younger version of Dawin Nunez. Both play chaos ball. Smash balls from anywhere.

Looks like Angel Gomes has been knocked out cold.

Hopefully not too serious, I wouldn't mind us taking a look at Gomes down the line, was superb for the U21s when they won the Euros in the holding role.

Think Rogers at Villa is one we may have been a bit too quick to get rid of aswell he has a lot of ability.
