    The London Stadium fast becoming a bit of a graveyard for visiting 'keepers.

    Lovely goal but Fabianski is a hologram, might as well have put a wheely bin in goal.

    Players like Jarrod Bowen are the poster boys for modern football, imo. Absolutely nothing to him beyond hard running, forcing the press and opportunism. That's all a manager really wants.

    You look at Lukaku having come on at the other end and that sort of player will die, if it hasn't already.

    Umpteenth time I've posted this over the years but I will again lament that we're no longer in the days when the likes of Benito Carbone could make a living at a midtable / relegation-threatened team doing nothing 3/4 weeks because he'd then boss it or do something memorable the fourth.

    Tuchel repeatedly playing with Lukaku with his back to goal is a proper odd one. He’s so much better on the shoulder. Absolutely useless trying to actually build up play

    Mendy has been absolutely abysmal today. He's often on the edge of a needless balls-up but I've never seen his confidence bottom out like this.

    I can understand him not anticipating the ball going there, but I don't understand how he hasn't saved it easily, having got his hands there.

    He's gone with the "you can't blame him because he's been so good for them since he arrived" approach. Which sounds nice but is absolute nonsense.

    Nah, they’re quite good. A really good midfield and a team full of grafters. A proper David Moyes team.

    Wolves really are dull here. Trying everything to keep the game scrappy.

    The Premier League has gone full La Liga. It's Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool and the rest are just filler. West Ham are just at the top of the shit pile at the moment.

    That was always the weird thing about his United team. They weren't even 'hard to beat', other than Wayne Rooney doing more running than he had over the previous three seasons combined.

    How on earth has he missed that. Should have been a foul for the shove beforehand anyway

    Wolves nailed on for a 1-0 after that.

    I'm not sure why Henderson is default RM right now when Trent is much better out there.

    I just read that Max Kilman can't play for Ukraine because he played 20 odd games for England futsal when he was 18. Seems like a shit rule, well done FIFA.

    Fuck me, I hate modern day footballers. The Wolves keeper spends 2 mins on the deck after Mane breezes against his arm, and now Jimenez is clearly fine, looks fine, but decides to roll back onto the pitch to waste another 2 minutes. Wolves could win this if they stopped fucking about wasting time.

    It was clear foul on Jimenez to be fair.

    Origi must be the most clutch player ever

    Wolves with 5 at the back, 10 behind the ball, throwing themselves to the floor at any given chance. Personal favourite was Jiminez clattering into the board, only to walk back onto the pitch and go down.

    All of their "gamesmanship" gave us the extra 5 minutes to win. Get fucked.

    West Ham literally played the exact same way as Wolves did. Everyone but Antonio on the ball and hit Liverpool on the counter. Just like Traore did today before a Liverpool player got booked for taking him out.

    Origi

    Such a good pass from Van Dijk too.

    If they hadn’t won after that Jota miss you could imagine a psychological collapse over the next couple games.

    Imagine doubting Thiago. That strongest XI is immense and will be some force in the CL final this year but I might just be more excited about seeing the Div tear up the league for a month.

    It's a side-effect of the perpetual state of confusion when listening to Sr. Waistcoat's instructions.

    He doesn't need to listen that often, he doesn't get in the pitch much. Old Gazza Waistcoat can't be THAT confounding, surely?

    It's even worse that he has to listen to him while not even playing surely?
