Onwards and sideways.

Despite a cracking goal, Myko for me. A bit better movement in the box and who knows. Where is the poll?

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

Myko looked good. I thought Jack looked decent, too. MotM for me might still be Gana. He’s a part of nearly every play, winning duels, creating chances. Just an unsung hero but so vital.

Ref was absolutely abysmal today. The amount of soft fouls they got while we got nothing for blatant pushes was ridiculous.

There was a push on beto (I think it was him) in the run up to their goal. He gave a foul against chermiti and booked him when he had got in front of his man and was himself fouled.

 

[PITA]

Moyes waits long enough for the similarly awful opposition to get their goal thereby making the win impossible after 68 minutes of garbage.

Agreed. He’s been awful. I keep meaning to look down to see how close we are to the bottom 3.
IIRC, we were 1 point above when Moyes got appointed. If we still are I won’t be able to sleep tonight.

I thought mykelnko looked very poor, tbh. His passing is crap, he doesn't seem to want to cross and he is always out of position.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

I’ll definitely agree with what you said about Mykolenko and crossing. They usually go too far to no one and out of touch.

I am voting for big Jake as our next striker.

Never seen a 6 ft 6 winger before

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Pickford for me,couple of vital saves,we just couldn't put them under any long period of pressure today,although I thought we looked much better when Chermitti and Jimmy Hillcame on

Branthwaite was my MOTM. We were very lucky there today in snatching a point. It felt for large portions of today's game that West Ham were finding the pockets of space which we were just struggling to get into. Once Moyes bought Broja and Chermiti on, we gave them additional attacking threats to think about, and the pendulum began to swing in our favour.

When the match was live, in the ground, I felt that we should have had a penalty for the foul on Beto. I haven't watched any replays, but I didn't see anything to justify overturning the original decision (so much for "clear and obvious errors"). That's not the part I'm dwelling on, however. Instead, I can't stop thinking about the Alcaraz chance in the dying moments of the game - if only it had trickled in on the other side of the post!

I still think it was a penalty, doesn't matter what Beto did he was impeded by the leg of their defender.

 

[Vedder]

Each of Beto, Harrison and Doucoure can be carried by the rest of the team individually, but boy do we struggle when all three are on the pitch and playing to their usual standards.

Too true, you are right there

it wasn't a pen mate, kicked the ground

 

[Arteta2391]

how come no one celebrates with big man O'brien?

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

If anyone watches the replay and swaps out Salah for Beto and and they award the pen and you’re fine with it says we’re watching different matches. A leg might’ve slightly gotten in the way but what the ref saw initially was Beto going to the ground and it looked like a trip. Upon a very simple review he tripped himself by missing the ball.
