Erm, no, it doesn't - should have been a booking once the ball went dead.

"If the referee plays the advantage for an offence for which a caution/sending-off would have been issued had play been stopped, this caution/sending-off must be issued when the ball is next out of play. However, if the offence was denying the opposing team an obvious goal-scoring opportunity the player is cautioned for unsporting behaviour; if the offence was interfering with or stopping a promising attack, the player is not cautioned."

Great 3 points

I'd say that was our winners mentality that got the win, rather than the performance. A lot of the players not at their best but it happens sometimes.

Thought Doku was excellent, certainly offers us a different look.

All in all, it's a very good win. The reality is we're not just going to steamroll the rest of the league with ease, these teams are stacked with good players in their own right. It won't be the last time this season we have to really fight when we're not at our best.

I agree with nearly everything but I think you underestimate the performance - we still had 15 shots on target and getting on for 30 shots overall, and if their goalie hadn't had a worldy, we'd have won by 5 or 6. That's the first time this season we've had so many chances, and it was away against a difficult, unbeaten team. Couldn't have asked for much more, performance-wise.

Since a lot of people are talking about a great second half I'd just like to add I really thought we played quite well the first half and were massively unlucky not to be comfortably ahead

 

[grim up north]

I was being honest. If Ederson doesn’t pull off that world class save they go 2-1 up with about 30 minutes left. Anything could have happened from there

But he saved it

Our corners were like a bad comedy

Somehow we even managed to find a way to fail to beat the first man on a short corner (Phil took it)

No doubt Doku is in for a bollocking from pep. But he's going to tear fullbacks a new arsehole this season. We dropped points away at West ham last season so a difficult game,
Alveraz,walker,Eddie,Silva,Doku,Rodri and Akanji all had very good game.
Is it to early to think about maybe scoring away from home at Spuds this season?

We might get a goal away at the Spuds ground but we need to plan to play for at least 120 minutes (their goals against Sheffield today were in treble Fergie time).

The mad thing is that we could have easily scored another 3 or 4 in that game, West Ham are a good team and for us to go there without KDB, Grealish and Stones speaks volumes.

Plus Kovačić and Aké who would also both make our best XI stronger.

there were plenty of legal ways to watch, just that they are not advertised.

It was nice watching an actual game where both teams wanted to play. West Ham will take points of the big teams this season.

Ist half they played with a back 11
