It was a strong tackle but nothing really wrong with it. Sometimes the physics are just unfortunate.
To me, it looked very deliberate. I can't find a clip though.
By the way, this “west ham” were unlucky not to win narrative (the funniest version of which was spouted in his usual half baked cockney babble by Joe Cole as “spurs ave got away wiv one ere”) is total bollocks.
Overall we dominated the ball (61%), for the most part they did the Moyes bus park shuffle, and their XG (1.52) only looked better than our (0.72) because the almost 0.9 chance Son would have had was stuck in his own net by Kehrer and gave us a 0.0 chance.
For the most part it was just a pretty meh game from two pretty meh looking teams, with us as meh+.

It wasn’t premeditated. His boot was torn. Agree it was disruptive though.
Problems - look at that big fat arrow between Sanchez and Dier and then look at those arrows from Dier to Bissouma/Hojbjerg
Fucking so obvious where the problems lie here, Romero Bentancur in and a competent RWB who everyone trust to give the ball to.
Sanchez is such a drop off from Romero in terms of playing out from the back, and Emerson can't provide any cover.
Combine this with the ineffectiveness in midfield and Fulham would be insane not to emply the same strategy.
Hallo there. I decided to keep it low key and allow all the Levy apologists time to see that our "Great Window" was actually not so 'Great'. I was being slated for suggesting we got Lucky in the Bargain Bin. People truly believed there was 150 million quid to dish out. Surprise, surprise, same old Sh1t, just a different window.
Same high priced tickets, same high priced jerseys, same bullshit José had to face and the same old "Anti-Football" (as some anti Jose folk termed it. I honestly don't see any improvement on where we were with him, other than a few better players. I'm not optimistic at all.
LOL....
Since Jose:
"A 'few' better players" (Romero, Kulu, Bentancur, Perisic, Richarlison, Bissouma + a bunch of others)
4th placed finish (compared to 7th).
Amongst the best defenses since Conte arrived.
Amongst the highest scorers since Conte arrived.
Currently 3rd.
"No improvement" though.
Mug.
He seemed to be more interested in arguing with the referee rather than picking up Soucek
He also seems too frightened to try and catch the ball from a shot instead electing to punch it virtually every time
Agree and warming up on the touchline
Hopefully he’ll get some game time tomorrow
Agree totally! Look back at the threads from last season how many kept banging on about give conte a preseason with his players. Looks to me as if they don’t nothing on how we play. It’s the sane as last year basically no idea what to do when we have the ball. We got through last more by som and Kane banging them in with useful cameo by kulu. Now that has almost disappeared this season we look clueless. God knows what a conte pre season was supposed to give!
LolYou seem to be making progress Maureen.
Previously, you'd only whine like this when we lost a game, you're now trying it out when we draw a game and seem to be making a good fist of it.
Pretty soon you can move up to whining when we are winning games, and your full Pokémon evolution will be complete.
The going down after 5 seconds of the 2nd half starting. Surely either he was injured and not to come out or he was play acting. They had HT to sort him out and he came back 9on. Only to then start waving when we didn’t even have the ball to say he was injured.
Yip. Quite acceptable where we come from.Jerseys ??

I remember going on KUMB around the time it happened and pissing myself at their deluded fans saying things like
“Watch us go now”
“Look at the amount of players we’ll be able to attract “
“What an astute business woman Karen Brady is”
Useful cameo
Imagine a team depending on 1 or 2 players.
Do the dippers look the same without mane. Or thiago.
Take out haaland would city be flying.
Take benzema out of madrid would they have won champuons league last year.
Every team depends on a couple of players of the highest quality.
Every team suffers a little if theyre not firing
With the greatest respect, i wasn't going to reply to the post itself as it's absolute Tosh.Yip. Quite acceptable where we come from.

I guess at some point even the world's best Managers have to give up trying to convince an owner he knows less about football than what they do.
No matter what Conte tells them, the players in all honesty are simply not good enough. Davies, Dier, Sanchez, Emerson, Doherty, Sessegnon, Spence are unfortunately not League winning material. No amount of team talking will change that.
There is a reason why Woolwich is honestly improved by 500%. They bought the right players. We always want to go bargain hunting. Doesn't win you leagues. Much as we see the news saying how happy Conte is, I have a feeling he'll be happier walking away.
