Haha, he's turned it back round and fair play to him. Those 15 games post-WC where he minced about offering no threat and missed any chance he did get were seriously worrying.

Didn't want to write him off in January or February, but come march I was accepting he wasn't the same player anymore. Today he looked as fit as he ever has for us, hopefully it continues

This is hilarious. It's funny because it's true and painful for both. "Kick me in the warm up eh? Do a podcast from the bench. Ahhh how the mighty have fallen." This is men's therapy.

Whatever the reason for the past 3 months, it's a relief to see he still has these performances in his locker. I was wondering if he was past the point of no return.

 

Now it's just a question of working out what makes the difference and working to those criteria. I suspect they already know internally, mind.

 

If it's all about overworked legs and exhaustion, hopefully rotation and semi-backup status will work out perfectly for everyone next season.

 

I'm assuming Isak is back in on Saturday?

[joeyt]

Brilliant 45 mins. Completely changed the game and was unlucky not to have a goal

[Gallowgate Toon]

Certainly looks back to his best. Some fantastic 50/50 fighting with physical defenders.

[astraguy]

glad Howe took off a midfielder for a someone who is known for holding the ball up to help isak 

[Smal]

Awesome when he came on. Completely changed the game. 

 

Assist for Isak but should've had two more from Isak's other chance and Anderson at the end.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

He’s been very positive and mature about Isak coming in as well, looks happy even though he might play less. Good pro. 

[alexf]

+ a goal for himself harshly ruled out. Great cameo. Looking more like the Wilson we expect. Poor effort at the end when Bruno played him through however.

[80]

Robbed of a goal from what I could see. Had his arm across his own stomach. What more could he do to avoid it?

[HaydnNUFC]

Pre World Cup Wilson seems to be back. Fucking class.

Don't think it's down to whether it's intentional or not anymore unfortunately. I think if it hits your arm regardless it's ruled out. 

 

I may be wrong.

 

I probably am. 

 

Fuck it we won I'm gonna sink a few pints.

Irrelevant - if the ball hits his hand it’s automatically disallowed under the new laws

Certainly wasn't a clear and obvious error - total guess from VAR whether it hit his arm.

[STM]

Just needed a rest. Nothing else to it.

It was not below the sleeve though? Surely that's a factor?

Believe you're right but it's ridiculous. As I understand it, another rule changed to give VAR something to do/spoil.

It hit the outside of his upper bicep from what I could see.

 

With the rest of his arm going across his body, meaning his silhouette was basically torso+shoulder.

I'm full of love on the drink not full of fury. 

[LionOfGosforth]

Coufal clearly handled the ball and it lead to West Ham's goal today, wasn't even looked at, despite being quite clearly a handball. Consistency doesn't exist in this league.

[Holloway]

shout out to the poster in the match thread who said Wilson on for Longstaff, got a pelter or 2 for it

VAR certainly couldn't tell.  And if they can't tell - it is not an obvious error.

[alexf]

This sort of handball, where the arm is close to the body and if you didn't have arms it would have just hit the torso is ridiculously harsh. 

As others said, it hits the advert patch on his sleeve so I thought anything above the sleeve wasnt handball? 

They need to change the phrase "handball" then if we're top of the arm.
