Absolutely love that, Lascelles complaining about the pen decision then running off and scoring himself.

 

The ref got the descision right, but no fucking way did he actually see that feint touch on the ball from Zouma

Love how it's been a case of 'West Ham weren't good today', 'Swansea were poor today' and 'Stoke weren't at their best today' rather than accepting that we might actually be playing well and controlling games (as we did for a majority of last season).

 

Hughes thinking we sat off and let them have the ball because we rate them alongside Barcelona, whereas that is how we play and we played like that against Burton Albion. It's effective and it is winning us points. Stoke might have had 8% more posession or whatever it was, but we had numerous more chances and they were fortunate that the scoreline wasn't greater.

 

The fact that pundits clearly didn't watch us last season is evidenced by this, not knowing how we play under Rafa. As Elliot correctly said, we'll be happy to quietly go about our business and keep winning games.

Even with the feint touch, it's still a penalty. The feint touched came after he had already knocked Atsu over, from behind.
