I think another of West Ham's problems is that their two better players are Kudus and Bowen and both work better on the right wing but they're shoehorning them both in at the moment Reminds me of the Gordon and Barnes situation here

Palmer is so good

Clear penalty

Caceido has been really good

His movement reminds me of Isak's

The space between Kilman and Alvarez there

Chelsea look really good, West Ham look dreadful

You'd hope Joelinton is ahead of Longstaff in the pecking order

Good job Jonjo is no longer here

Barnes not starting would be baffling Hope he does

Palmer to win a foul is evens on sky

Our record here is a bit mad. We've won every game there for years after previously losing every game for years

Nice 8-0 Saint Etienne

State of this

Ben Gibson has been a proper old school bully in this game Forearm smashed someone in the face first half and got away with it, trod on someone's achilles to stop a breakaway (no yellow) and just got a yellow for dissent complaining about a really obvious penalty. Then manhandled one of the Hull's attackers who was on the edge of the box for the penalty

Thanks for the reminder! West Ham 1-1 Chelsea Villa 2-0 Wolves Fulham 1-0 Newcastle Leicester 1-0 Everton Liverpool 3-0 Bournemouth Southampton 1-0 Ipswich Spurs 2-1 Brentford Palace 0-1 Man United Brighton 2-0 Forest Man City 2-0Arsenal

Seems a bit unfair that Trossard is allowed to referee Arsenal

Champions league on a Thursday?

You realise he's been playing in France for a while now?

He was the highest paid transfer for a teenager and is playing in Greece at the age of 28 France have won everything in that time and he's barely contributed anything for them File it in underwhelming rather than disaster

Andy Carroll has joined Bordeaux

Anthony Martial joined AEK Athens He's only 28, what a poor career he's had

Canny frustrating that we got a group of death yet Villa start their campaign against a team winless in the Swiss league
