Re: West Ham United v Aston Villa: match thread (17.03.24)

VAR spent 9-10 minutes looking for clear and obvious reasons to disallow our goals today.

Someone on the bench should be rifling through the rule book.
Then he will get banned for 2+1 matches. And he will be one yellow closer to his next ban when he returns.

Re: West Ham United v Aston Villa: match thread (17.03.24)

Could be three against one on that break. Kudus too slow to release the ball.

Re: West Ham United v Aston Villa: match thread (17.03.24)

Bloody hell. Now let's see VAR spend four minutes looking up and down for any possible minor clear and obvious error.

On the other hand, I feel very confident whenever the ball comes through the air.

Re: West Ham United v Aston Villa: match thread (17.03.24)

VAR searching everywhere, for several minutes, to see if there is maybe, possibly and small clear and obvious mistake somewhere. Finally finds it, no-one is sure what it is. No goal. VAR would almost be funny if it wasn't killing football.

If he hadn't gotten the hump from not getting the pass in the first sequence, he would have been clear on goal for his first shot.

Hope not. Paqueta on the left brings the best out of Emerson. I think the front four will be very fluid with their positions, though.
