When he let go of the ball wasn't his hand outside the box?

 

I did wonder this, I thought live it looked like a foul and nothing I saw on the relays convinced me otherwise. 

 

Glad it wasn't scrutinised!

I thought it was tight. Not sure how they'd work it out though if there's not a camera bang in line.

Problem is that every other manager has now seen that and will flag it up as a possible danger. Works in our favour insofar as teams won't want to press too deep as they know Barnes (or Gordon or Elanga) will be looking to make a deep run from inside our own half and Pope is capable of releasing them. If teams over-commit to the press then they have the Pope throw to deal with, if they don't press us then we have more time on the ball to bring it out and play it through midfield. 

 

It's daft but that one goal could help us for the rest of the season

Don't think Barnes even looks at the goal there yet still finds there square inch of space at the foot of the post he needed to. Hell of a finisher on his day, like.

Those white boxes on the foot of each post (goal line tech?) must be great to aim at.

If you look at when Pope steadies himself after catching it Barnes is right next to him, thats some vision and run from him. Also shocking defending all round from the defende who tries to cut it out and the other defender almost catches him and doesnt just slide a block in at least forcing a cut back and buying a bit of time. Still you can only beat whats in front you

Did he save that shot onto the bar? Looks like he gets a touch. Shame it didn’t count for anything. 

Yeah was actually a worldie of a save that will probably never be mentioned.

He definitely did. Like Dubs' save at Blackburn in the cup that also unfortunately meant nothing.

Pope should’ve saved it but West Ham due a goal. We’ve been shit.  Look a tired team.  
 

Nothing coming down our left side. 

7 of these had a break in midweek
