West Ham - v - Leeds United ***Matchday Thread***

[spaldy]

This is a good side.

Nmencha quiet but they are really crowding in him. Leaves our wings ooen

[CalverleyBoy]

And a point for guessing where I was when the goal came

[WTF11]

Will Tanake get more league game time?

[Billyni]

Probably should have been 2

[CalverleyBoy]

No surprise that there was no pen given

[WTF11]

Wasnt a pen, ball had gone before contact.

But on another point, Aaronsson for Stach? Surely Gruev or Longstaff would have been better?

[Billyni]

Now they are trying to get us either sent off or carried off

No it wasn’t a pen, but it was a dangerous enough tackle to injure our player. Should have been some kind repercussion.

****ing in toilet?

Agreed, but that how the cookie crumbles.

Makes no difference where the ball went. If that was outside it would have been a foul and card! Commentaries are right that's a penalty.

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Pleased for Tanaka he is such a good player.

[WTF11]

Pleased for Tanaka he is such a good player.

Agreed, but I ask again, will he get more league minutes?

Yes it does, no player can defy the laws of physics, and no matter how much we might like it to be otherwise, tackles like that have and will happen (on all sides) and as a contact sport its inevitable. Just like the Ampadu tackle just now

[Billyni]

Thought ampadu was a bit silly there. We had 2 covering.
Now he’s walking a tightrope
