I think the fact that Lanzini was out meant that we were able to double up on Payet without exposing ourselves in other areas too much. West Ham are a good side but those two are their only real creative outlets.

Match reports in the papers seem to be making a big deal over that shoulder barge on Valencia. Really didn't see much of a problem with it at the time. Is there genuinely a case for a retrospective ban?

We weren't that nervy in the second half tbh. Elliot only made the one save from memory.

Superb today. Did everything but score.

Why wasn't that a foul on Elliot?

6 minutes

shit

Very impressive. He's been dictating everything so far - pointing where the next pass should go, making himself available at the right times etc.

Playing some cracking stuff here.

Oh my days!

Blatant foul on Mitrovic there.

Fantastic move and finish.

State of that Spurs free kick routine.

His right foot is much better than its being given credit for like. He can strike the ball well with both feet - has even scored a couple of crackers with his right going off YT ()

We got a very fortunate deflection goal in extra time to grab a point against Man U just 24 hours earlier. Not sure if serious. Why? You said you hoped we would get a bit of luck sooner rather than later. Technically speaking we got a somewhat fortunate point from a lucky goal just 3 or 4 minutes ago, in terms of playing time. That Dummett shot would probably still be orbitting the earth if it didn't take that deflection. On a serious note, I watched their game yesterday and their performance deserved the 3 points easily and Swansea were a complete mess. I think it's a false argument to point to their luck whilst discarding our own (Bournemouth anyone). We're both in the bottom three because we've both been playing s***, creating very little and conceeding loads. Luck has very little to do with it. Surely Dummett's shot would've had to be on target for him to be awarded the goal?

Pretty shocked that an owner/businessman as stingy as Ashley is cutting his losses on a relatively significant investment after only a matter of months.

Sounds like they were gifted the win by the officials mind.

1-0 Scousers. Firmino.

Love Emre Can by the way. Class player.

Looked a pen that at first glance.

2nd booking for Smalling no?

YEEEEEAAAAAAS

Make a bloody sub please.

:frantic: :frantic: :frantic:

Great goal!
