PL Gameweek 1 | 16/08/24 - 19/08/24

West ham all over the place. Disjoint press, no clue what they're doing on the attack
 
Tried to be too cute there, should have hammered it.
 
He got the ball but then steamed through the man so pen for me.
 
"was a touch from cash but not at attempt to play the ball"? What the feck?

VAR has somehow got worse, just talking shit to agree with the refs now. Ref literally made a wrong call. Absolutely ridiculous implementation.
 
The fact that kind of pen is allowed is BS, he basically stopped in the run up
 
Make the most of him while you got him I suppose.. how is he still playing football? What’s supposed to be happening with his case? Tonali was straight up banned when it came to light.
 
West Ham have a decent squad now but Lopetegui is a nothing manager. Don't really see them being significantly better this season.
 
They've raised the bar for overruling the ref even higher so we'll get more bad and/or inconsistent decisions.

They're actively sabotaging VAR.
Don’t really get the point of VAR if they aren’t there to make the “right” decisions. If you not going to overrule the ref just use them for offsides and get on with it. So pathetic they have the tech to improve decisions yet they don’t but using a bizarre “not going to overrule the ref” rule.
 
Onana is so ordinary on the ball, reminds me of Cleverley.
Antonio is all graft and no craft
 
Seriously how are we not winning this 3 or 4.

West Ham away annoys me nearly as much as our annual capitulations at Old Trafford, one of those away games for us.
 
Neither of these teams are good but Villa should be ahead, West Ham created nothing and equalised through a soft pen

I presume the definition of "good" is comparing either to Man. City, Arsenal or Liverpool?

That first 40 minutes was as good as anything we produced last year.

The Baily miss was special, nearly as bad as the Garnacho’s one. Did all the hard work only to fumble it.
