Southampton 0-1 West Ham Utd (14/12/19)

[Pob!]

Play Haller in a Two and he is a top class striker..



Wherever he's played it's been in a top two sometimes a three..

It's a crime to play him up front by himself.

[S-H]

So looks like everyone and his dog thought that should have been penalty.

VAR =

LiVARpool would have got it.

[HammerMan2004]

Can’t believe that wasn’t a penalty.

Think Haller ran to Pellegrini to celebrate.

Keep it up West Ham.

[Softhammer]

Fornals with an assist as well. Now I'll assist myself a new drink. Get in!

[waynepin]

we have won more tackles in one half than the last four games, keep it going and Ogbanna having another excellent game,

[brothernero]

LiVARpool would have got it.

Yep.

[ohsnap]

so far so good but cant help but think we only got to see 2 up top because of anderson being injured.

Also haller going to masuaka and diop to celebrate and ignored everyone else

[Shy Ted]

There must be some rule somewhere that states West Ham can never be given a penalty or even a foul.

I have never seen a team not given so many blatant penalties it nearly always happens.

Yeah, look at the blatant push on Antonio just a little while after the clear penalty shout.

[Blow Bubbles]

The ONLY argument for VAR disrupting games is to remove controversies. If it gets decisions like that so wrong, there really is no point.

This. 100%

[mattyD]

Dermot Gallacher on my stream saying that “Bertrand was just standing his ground and he couldn’t do much else”. He literally moves forward and barges into the back of Haller. F*cking plonker.

Jesus, he literally watches him and takes him out.

[bowltorious]

Great half, go for the second and sit back. Officials yet again shocking for us. Blatent penalty.

[kenthammer]

Kill the game before Antonio goes off

[Johnny Byrne's Boots]

Great save from Fornals' volley

[Blow Bubbles]

Go on Fornals! Bit of confidence.

[Junco Partner]

Started brightly :shock:

Fornals probably should have scored then. Decent save.

[WorcesterWHU]

Southampton have been proper pony so far. We've got to put this to bed, unlike the Gooner game.

[traxop]

A positive half. Really enjoyed the effort put in by the lads but all this talk of just needing to play two at the top as if that was what was holding us back all along is doing my head in. We are exploiting their inability to adapt to what we're doing all half - which is to pump hanging balls up field for Haller and Antonio to contest. We're isolating their CBs one-on-one and they can't deal with it.

I hope we'll be the one that show the ability to adjust when they adapt to our first half tactics.

[Coops]

Defence switching off again.

[Blow Bubbles]

Southampton have been proper pony so far. We've got to put this to bed, unlike the Gooner game.

Yep. We were still in charge of the game at this point in that game.

[61dicksey]

Bit of lazy defending there , don’t want to gift the, chances
