Terrible by Laird on the line.
Biggest dive you ever did see though, literally no contact or even an attempt of a challenge. Shocking call.

not sure anybody even brought him down?
How is that a penalty?
Puigmal brushed his hand on the player. Player went down easy. VAR that and its no pen
Laird got done too easy beforehand though. Poor defending

Any chance someone could DM me a river? Thanks
Never been impressed by Laird defensively - going forward he is top-class. So he would probably be excellent in a 3-5-2 but I dont think he is good enough in a 4-4-2
Need to get Hugill on. Shoretire offers nothing as a striker at this level yet.
Ref is Horrendously bad.
Nailed on penalty not given on Pellistri.
Dogshit ref
Well West Ham are awful in the last 15 so there is a chance
Feel like if Utd can just get 1 here they will win the game.
Why would Neil Wood think it's a good idea to take our best outlet off of the left and put him up top 
Wow that’s embarrassing from Mengi 
was miles open with a free header.
was miles open with a free header.What a run!
This referee is an onion
Shadow of what he was. He will get it back soon enough
So, West ham player kicks Hannibal and he sends Hannibal off?
Didn't see what Hannibal did - but the linesman was like 30 cm away - so I doubt it was incorrect
Referee is a disgrace
The feck is that red for?
Red card was weird, Hannibal seemed to be wronged.
Cnuts
Cnuts
He quite clearly kicked him. Brought his leg back to generate power and everything. It’s a clear red. No surprise Hannibal acting like a little baby yet again. He’s kicked out several times already this season. Kid needs to grow the feck up. He’s 17 not 7.
Lesson for the kids ?
Score when you're on top
And stay switched on at all times

First time I’ve watched the youth for a while and if that’s that’s the general standard of refereeing it’s shocking, should of sent himself off for that tackle on a west ham player.
Hannibal looked very good, Pellestri was so, so.

Ref sums his night up, daft cnut!
That was a poor refereeing display, horrendous infact.
Wasn't a penalty, clear dive.
If Mejbri works on his temperament, we have a gem of a player on our hands. Pellistri looked bright, just needs more games to adjust. Fish looks like he'll have a decent career, looks calm and assured on the ball and can read the game well.

Shit setup from the beginning really. We had a good first half hour, played the ball into the box and into good areas but the lack of a striker hurt us.
Dissapointing to see us lose this game after playing so well. The ref was a absolute donkey in the game and was by far the worst performer on the field which cost us the game. But I was happy with our performance and tactically we were setup well and made it very difficult for West Ham to transition effectively which resulted in us winning the ball on numerous occasions.
If Mejbri's kick out was a red then why the feck didn't the West Ham player also receive red for kicking out first? Absolutely mind boggling decision by the ref IMO.

How good is Shoretire supposed to be? I know he’s only 16, but clearly not ready for the U23’s. Not saying that’s shocking or anything, but if he’s as good as I’ve heard, he shouldn’t be that far away from that right?
I hate VAR but the refereeing on youth level is so bad in nearly every match therefore i would support it.
We haven't played a bad match but to lose against the bottom team of the league is never good and i really thought we found our place in the league after the last good results.....i don't think we would have lost the match with Hugill as main striker (Shoretire is support-striker or a left forward in my opinion).

I thought we played very well, the first 30 minutes was seriously one of the best of the season. I know it sounds silly, but we were incredibly unlucky and the ref was shite as well. However, we need to do better in the final third and we clearly miss a big presence in the box. What's the point of Elanga and Pellistri beating their man if there's no one in the box? I hope Mellor can come back soon.
I sometimes think I’m complaining about youth refereeing too much, then I watch games like that
Wow that was a soft penalty.
And on the red card, clearly looks like the WH players kicks out from this angle but nothing from Hannibal.....

Know people say Shoretire is pushed by his Father but it's ridiculous him playing at this level. Offers so little. Whats it proving? Did he really rip it up at 18s or did I miss it?
Definitely not. 3 goals and 4 assist in 15 starts and 6 sub appearances last season. He is a good player even at U23-level, far better than the likes of Wellens IMO. I can see why Wood likes him - he keeps the ball and is doing the right things on the pitch. But he doesn't offer that much in terms of scoring, although sometimes in a difficult position playing as a no 9. For me, it's a little bit odd that Hoogewerf isn't playing more at U23-level instead of him.
Again his best game so far. Looks like he is growing and starting to show what he can do in U23. Two assists yesterday (OK, 1 and 1/2), but overall his game was very good, keeping ball in tight spaces, distribution. Pretty mature for this age, while playing against grown ups (Saints had a lot of 20+ players in the team)
