Lol that's an interesting observation Essex, given the comment on MOTD2 that Mark Chapman mentioned that Ian Wright was impressed that when Klich's shot went in, the West Ham fans didn't leave the ground, as everyone knows with how Leeds play, so teams will still get chances. I presume Wrighty's glasses must have fallen off, and by the time he put them back on, the West Ham fans had returned
Probably wasn’t noticeable. I had to let them past me but I couldn’t see if they were lingering in the aisles waiting for the VAR decision. They probably wondered why I was staying I did my best to appear miserable whilst elated inside though so maybe I’d make a great poker player
I remember doing the same August 93 at Maine Road. I had my head in my hands, muffling the sounds of joy and hiding the smile on my face when Brian Deane equalised in the 90th minute. I am sure the City fans sat around me thought I was in tears as they all trundled out of the ground. How we failed to win though, Cotton was inspired in the City goal
They can't keep them all interested, that's why they lose players like Salah, De Bruyne, Robben, Sane' etc. That said, there's also players like Zinchenko, definitely not one of the first XI, but probably good enough for a mid-table team's first XI. He's also good enough to be used in the games against lower opposition, and a decent back-up if players are out for bigger games. He also gets the early rounds of a cup, so he gets 20-30 games a season and got to play in, and win, a cup final in 19/20. That's a pretty good incentive beyond money.
Koch was immense, if Struijk did pick that big dirty fkr Antonio, then Koch got him, so an 8 for me. Did you see that fkr Antonio try to crock the young lad Hjelde, Koch was straight over and Antonio fkd off, now that I do like to see, reminded me of the good old days when Big Jack and Billy looked after the lads around them.
Watching the replay and Antonio trying to get the refs attention, it pisses me off seeing both sides waving arms for offside. Play to the whistle.
I think koch is a tough lad and nothing seems to faze him. We seem to be centre back rich now and hjelde is a capable left back too. Pascal is really good and along with Llorente a talented athlete. Very happy with the defence for the rest of the season.
will coops find it harder to get back in now with koch,struick,llorente and now young hjelde or will bielsa stay loyal? answers to c/o the treatment room!!
Dear The Treatment Room, Please don't rush Calamity Cooper back as all is fine for the moment. Signed; The not 606 lads, minus WJ.
Llorente on the right, Struijk on the left is our strongest pairing. I'd be more than happy for Cresswell to back up on the right and Hjelde to back up on the left. If we bought a couple of midfielders I'd be quite happy to sell Koch or Llorente.
