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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 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 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Brilliant 45 mins. Completely changed the game and was unlucky not to have a goal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Certainly looks back to his best. Some fantastic 50/50 fighting with physical defenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 He’s been very positive and mature about Isak coming in as well, looks happy even though he might play less. Good pro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 + 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

LionOfGosforth Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 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.
