That should be two pens.
The first one no, the second one at the start of the season would have been a pen.
First one was not a pen in a million years.

West Ham will get get 6 points from their next 6 games. They have Man United, Arsenal, Leicester and Chelsea (their two easier games are away to Wolves and Newcastle).
Yep they win 5 of those 6.

Worrying that the last time Southampton played in Manchester they leaked 9 goals, safe to say that damage limitation will be the order of the day when facing a City backlash on Wednesday night

Surprised to see West Ham keeping the momentum. The blasted 'Pool might not even qualify for Europe the way things are going. That would be so beautiful.

They could always try the United template. Tella and Djenepo are quick and tricky enough to run at City, if they're brave enough. Free kicks, JWP, you never know...

Yeah there is no doubt that Ward-Prowse is one of the best free kick exponents in this league since Becks but it's just whether or not that Southampton can keep them in the game when he gets on within range

Honest question how many players who have been as bad as them in their first season have managed to turn it around the next year? Genuinely can't think of any, nearest I could come up with was Vidic and Evra but they arrived in January (and it's a bit of a myth that they were all that bad to begin with)
I dont actually think Lampard used either Werner or Havertz to their true capacity. Werner as the lone forward running onto through balls was excellent v Liverpool, and his goal should have stood. Thats where he needs to play IMO. And Havertz floating around as v Everton.

Southampton came to play today. Not sure, but they may be taking a page out of United's playbook. City didn't respond well to a full press and attack.

They’re doing nothing, Southampton the better team and City score with their first shot, wankers.
