Someone's right, they surely looked at the wrong clip. Otherwise, big mistake, big big mistake.
Premier League Gameweek 3
- Thread starter matys
- Start date
We played in Europe so finished the season later than everyone and then had a delayed pre-season and start to the season so we are weeks behind everyone else.
You get a fecking clue.
Shocker. United fan talking about United on a United forum. Regardless, am I wrong?
Sky just ignoring it. Definitely some pro-Lampard bullshit on there.
West Brom shit the bed second half.
But my god, Werner looks pretty shit so far! He’s a German Danny Welbeck.
Hudson Odoi looked a class above Werner and Havertz. The latter two are doing a great job of justifying the Bundesliga being a farmers league.

City were in similar position to us and did fine at the start of the league. They even have injuries.
Cant wait for the Burnley match now!
You must have the sound off. They absolutely talked about it.
Predictable. WBA looked nervous after that first goal conceded.
0-0 for sure.
State of WBA
"Checking goal - Possible handball", but then checks on offiside?

Ad hominem, pretty popular these days.
So what you're telling me they're deadly up front? Clinical?
And your guys couldn't hit a cows backside with a shovel?
That’s not handball this year. Rules changed.
Of course they are, so far up “Super” Frank’s arse it’s untrue.
Do you expect undeniable facts to get in the way of an OleHATER do you?
Bummer
Burnley were surprisingly entertaining against Leicester to be fair
Pretty much. Just like every game we lost last season. I'm convinced about 80% of shots on target against us end up as a goal.
And he's been allowed to bring in a while new attack to do so tbf
I agree that we have an absolute lack of a game plan mind
helps to have some fecking players on the bench.Bit of a flawed comparison.
West Brom were 3 up. They were always going to sit back and defend. Those stats are expected from a championship team holding on to a 3-0 lead against a half a billion pounds team.
Every time West Brom did want to attack, they scored.
Yep. Summat about 'immediate run up to a goal'. Still shite, mind...
Is it only a handball if you grab the ball, and hold onto it for 4 seconds or summit?
What's this rule change?
Feck off WBA but I will take solace in Chelsea dropping points against possibly the worst team in the league. Long may Frank's reign continue. Bailed out by a clear handball missed by VAR
Absurd. The ball would be out for a goal kick if his hand doesn’t help him, it’s a disgrace.
I keep hearing this. Can you tell me the exact timeline of when we went on break and came back as compared to the others. Genuine question as I can't recollect.
What changed? The rule changed with regards to where the ball hit the hand. The upper portion down to the brachi are not handball decisions anymore.
I am not aware of any other change.
More like every time one of our defenders fell on their arse or gave them the ball, they scored.
And that is in the immediate run up to the goal, or does immediate mean something different now too?
Tbf, you can’t rule that out. On the flip side, you can’t give pens for that either, which they do. Either way, I’m delighted with how today has gone. Would we have accepted making two points up on Chelsea when March scored? Obviously!
Fair to say our defensive issues go far beyond Kepa being woeful recently. In fact probably one factor in him becoming so woeful, lost all confidence as we concede a lot of chances.
Great to see that comeback though to get a point, even if we should be winning the game.

They also have a far better squad than us.
Its a mix of crap squad depth, difficult circumstances and the coaching. Its not all on the coach to magic up a solution.
Last year the rule was every goal would be disallowed if it touched the hand of any attacking player. It was a nonsense rule and needed to change. The Havertz one would have been harsh to give anyway.
Why? He literally stopped the ball going out of play with his arm.
They had Augero out for 3 months, Laporte/Mahrez unavailable from covid on top. So their best striker and their best CB both out, playing a midfielder in central defense.
The conversation was about Lampard in the football forum and YES you are wrong.
This is the best attacking West Brom I've seen but like Norwich last season that attacking play won't last for long when you literally can't defend
