West Ham have seemed a bit vulnerable to... well, basically any half-decent through pass.

That's a lovely pass from Rashford.
Well that lasted about as long as I expected it to.
Poor old Daley Blind sucks a lot of attacking threat out of things, but Nemanja Matic looks like a bargain.
Yeah, we either need Luke Shaw to come back and actually be good or we need another left-back.Originally Posted by Lewis
Or play Darmian there.
I'm a twit
Slaven Bilic needs his hair topping up.
Lukaku is such a don.
Rashford you bum. Anthony Martial didn't die for this.
West Ham have looked like a timewasters XI today. They will be right in the shit of it if this is anything to go by.
Super.
I love Martial so much. I really hope he pushes on this season.
And even Pogba isn't hitting the woodwork.
Should have passed.
We're going to win the World Cup.
Quite tidy from Utd this.
West Ham look dogshit.
West Ham were absolutely rancid but we managed to find ways to draw against performances like that last year so huzzah, etc.
Pardew has managed to say Lukaku's name incorrectly in at least two different ways there.
Big Rom Is going big this year. I think he'll make a massive difference in beating the dross.
This Thierry Henry analysis is interminable.
Is there a more boring man in football?
Gary Neville probably had the most frustrating summer of his life teaching him how to use that computer.
Owen Hargreaves.
How's the Mike Ashley interview gone down with Newcastle fans Shinners?
Haven't really checked, to be honest. Watched the interview before and he really does strike me as someone who sounds really disinterested in the action on the pitch. Just a lot of ready-made apologies and half-arsed promises. Nothing about him seems genuine.
To be fair, we've really missed Antonio and Lanzini, we simply couldn't get anything meaningful to Hernandez. It really says something for our defence that Zabaleta was the best of them.
Early doors yet, need to give it a couple of months to see how the new signings do and how we cope when Lanzini inevitably moves to Liverpool for £75m.
You're Too Big to Go Down, so I wouldn't worry either way.
Barcelona really have excelled themselves with the bin man appointment this time.
He's only played for them 22 times as well.
Didn't realise the El Clasico Mate was on tonight. Will give it a watch (or half-watch) since I'm actually kind of in the mood for football at the moment.
Great performance today - probably slightly better than the Chelsea game last season. Definitely one of the best since Fergie left. It's obviously early days, but the signs are promising. Martial looked excellent when he came on, but I'm not sure who he replaces if he's going to start. Rashford looks like he could end up being one of the best players in the world in a few years.
Good old Pique, trying to score with his hand.
This first half has basically been asleep.
Ronaldo.
EDIT: Ronaldo.
One of the better sendings off of recent years.
Wish I hadn't turned off now.
I see goal 80, booking 81, red 82.
What happened? Though I presume one yellow was for taking his top off.
1. Ronaldo is booked for taking his shirt off.
2. He goes to ground after a shoulder to shoulder challenge in the box with Umtiti looking for a penalty.
3. He is booked for diving and subsequently sent off.
Booked for diving.
Pushing the ref after was really stupid, he's going to be in trouble for that.
Jesus, that's some goal from that dude I've never heard of.
Barca looking bang average.
I wonder how all of those Arsenal goals made it into the BBC top five.
Seriously, what was the rationale behind appointing the manager they've chosen?
They don't have to pay them very much.
Presumably he's been appointed because he belonged to the relatively small band of available managers who've played for them. Unless your appointment is entirely to appease Messi, this seems to be the only serious criteria that will be applied.
Have only just caught up with the football but my immediate reaction is drawing up a list of candidates for interim first team coach until the end of the season. I still have a pipedream that Sven will get a go.
What's Hiddink at these days?
Villas-Boas is pissing about in China, although he might be costly.
Wait, I just remembered that big Avram resigned from Ghana after the AFCON.
Nailed on.
Just get Terry in. He was basically the manager during Grant and Di Matteo's reigns anyway, wasn't he?
Sunderland played well yesterday. McGeady scored a screamer and Grab an looks dangerous. Early days for the Everton pair but I've been impressed by Browning; he's a very no-nonsense centre back. Galloway has been less impressive at left back, as he doesn't appear to know how to defend, and doesn't use the ball very well at the moment.
Norwich had something like 70% possession. They played a lot of slow football around the defenders and midfielders and we just let them. They've lost/released lots of players from last season and signed a load of new players (mainly Germans I think) and got a new coach from Germany. They looked quite threatening when they got it out wide to Wildschut or through the middle with Naismith and Jerome, but after they didn't get an early goal they fell away.
Sean Maguire makes the international squad. Those two goalless appearances for Preston must have bumped him up a level.
