Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!
There was one thing Moyes said after the defeat to Leverkusen that stuck with me, something along the lines of 'Look, they're a Champions League team' - that's what I think gets me the most, the almost deferential attitude towards certain teams. The focus on their strengths, not ours, or is it becau...

Re: Bayer Leverkusen v West Ham Utd Europa QF 1st leg match thread
Funnily enough, the two we've lost have had the same achilles heel - goals from set pieces rather than anyone cutting us apart in open play. I have no issue with lower possession as long as there is intent to attack when you get the ball - too often it feels like we’ve just shut down the attacking ...

I’m going to bite - me, because sitting off chasing shadows game after game is tiring, mentally and physically and leads to mistakes, especially late in games.the pink palermo wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 9:51 pm Seemingly they had 78% possession. For the last time, who cares ?

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!
Winning the Conference last year buggered Sullivan as he felt obligated to keep Moyes when I suspect he’d decided to make the change.
This year has felt like treading water until the inevitable end of season rebuild.

Re: Bayer Leverkusen v West Ham Utd Europa QF 1st leg match thread
They are good, but you have to offer a threat, sadly we didn’t and again you can’t constantly defend like that and not change it up.

Re: Wolverhampton Wanderers v West Ham United - match thread
It’s as much a sign of messed up offside rules as anything else - like Gordon last week, stand offside, you should be offside, keep it simple.

Re: Wolverhampton Wanderers v West Ham United - match thread
Right answer - we invite pressure and therefore opportunity for VAR to get involved and for penalties to be concededBillydinho wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 3:37 pm When you camp on the edge of your own box all game what do you expect?

Running on fumes last 20 minutes but we kept going and stayed (mostly) composed.
Needed a result above all else after Saturday.

Re: Newcastle Utd v West Ham Utd - Match Thread
Basically, what we’ve learned from this weekend is that it is okay and ‘clever’ to throw yourself in front of an opponent as they play the ball to win a penalty.
I guarantee you if that happens with us tomorrow we don’t get the penalty.

Shearer isn’t going to say a word against Newcastle, not least as he’s probably got a nice round of golf lined up with Yasir Al-Rumayyan at the next LIV event in the UK.

Re: VAR 2023/24
From IFAB:
A video assistant referee (VAR) is a match official, with independent access to match footage, who may assist the referee only in the event of a ‘clear and obvious error’ or ‘serious missed incident’
Quite why the Premier League is unable to meet this criteria is beyond me.

Re: ✍ Welcome, Kalvin Phillips
I get point about Phillips jumping out of the low block, but heck, we needed some urgency from somewhere as (again) we just sat back and invited the pressure.
