West Ham vs Bournemouth on Monday

steve

How about the tea lady ,was she there

OldCastleSwift

First set piece.

Wasted.

Yeoldhammer

Cagey, hope Benrahma gets a goal today.

steve

We seem so slow this season

OldCastleSwift

Players and crowd both seem nervy. Playing it very safe on the pitch at the moment.

Does Zouma know how to kick a football? He looks so slow and awkward every time.

PrestonHammer

We've played it back more times than a rugby team.

OldCastleSwift

Ach, Downes should score there.

OldCastleSwift

And another chance, but Neto saves from Soucek. Offside anyway.

We need to make our chances count.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Well top here, got to convert one of these chances

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Scamacca not getting into this

Lost the ball a lot already

He's done a couple of things really well, and a few things really poorly.

But yeah, we need him to step up here. Bournemouth really aren't very good.

Not great so far

MrsGrey

Is there a commentator worse than Martin Tyler?

PrestonHammer

The keeper looks like he's injured himself time wasting.

OldCastleSwift

Bournemouth taking an absolute age over everything they do. Top level time wasting here.

Yes, Peter (the screecher) Drury

OldCastleSwift

Soucek, for goodness sake. Absolute hospital pass and Solanke gets a shot away.

Aaaaaand another Bournemouth player is down. This feels very deliberate. They're killing the game.

BubblesNeverDies

Soucek nearly gifting them a goal.

PrestonHammer

Soucek needs extra training on his passing, it's woeful at the moment.

Yeoldhammer

we're not scoring are we.

Lukerz

It’s a dreadful game

OldCastleSwift

This has been a dreadful half of football. No rhythm, no momentum and no real quality from either side.

OldCastleSwift

Goal for Zouma, but I'm not convinced it won't be ruled out

OldCastleSwift

Ok, cheers VAR.

That makes this game a lot easier. Bournemouth have to now play football and we will hopefully be able to pick them off for more goals.

PrestonHammer

Well his arms weren't outstretched.

eskimoking

How has that not been ruled out? I don’t understand.

Yeoldhammer

What even is handball these days

alderz

There’s no logical argument for that being handball, other than that’s what the rules say I think.

MrsGrey

Rules say no goal if there's any kind of handball, don't need to worry about deliberate or not.
