LCFC - West Ham Post Match Thread 2-2

[J.Lisemore]

Very unfortunate to not come away with a win, thought we did well against a more accomplished side. Our defence is just diabolical, always going to be an uphill battle if we keep conceding 2 a game 

[WoodyFox]

Is Vestergaard genuinely scared of heading it

Rules are clear on that, it's hit his sleeve it was never going to be given.

 

Micah Richards just got it bang on, if your not going to defend properly you deserve what you get. We continue to let ourselves down.

[Bert]

Hard one to take that. Played so well second half. Sub has killed us again. Even under a bit of pressure we looked comfortable enough. Let’s not even talk about Dawson being allowed to score with his arm. Unreal.

Vestergaard starts we concede at least 2.

Comes on as a sub we're guaranteed to concede. Why would anyone out him on. Especially with what's at stake.

 

He's the type of player you put on when you're winning 4 nil.

 

 

Well, yeah, but only deep into stoppage time...... Just in case.

It's a shit rule but technically it's not a hand-ball. Hits the top of his arm. 

 

 

 

 

More annoyed at our pathetic attempt at defending yet another set-piece and 90+ minute goal. 

 

Watch it back and you will see that the ball does not land in the green area of your graphic there.

[Tielemans63]

For a minute I forgot that we must concede at least two goals every game.

When I saw the quick replay it looked like below the sleeve to me

[Bazly]

We would have taken a point 2 hours ago, or even 1 hour ago.

[Sir Shep]

I'm just seeing our defence now at set pieces, drooling from the mouth wider than a Harry kane gob dreaming of their favourite window they'd like to lick as the ball sails effortlessly over their heads. Meanwhile at Rogers HQ, is that man u job available yet?

Yeah it isn’t handball for me, just terrible defending as usual 

[Genesis1]

Let's be happy that Perriera is back to what we remember when he signed.

[filbertway]

Leicester looking comfortable, playing well and look on track for 3 points, it's hard to see how this could change.

 

Rodgers: Hold my god damned beer

Very typical of Rodgers’ tenure: I’d have taken it at the start, but to have bottled at the last I’m fuming!

What's new last minute equaliser or loss it's the norm now

Not with 90 minutes on the clock we wouldn't though and that's the point.

[sdb]

Lots of positives to take from that. Main one being we looked like we cared for a change. Hopefully BR will learn something from that needless change for the last 5 too. Hopefully...

Even Souness was shocked it was given

The angle from behind the goal looks like it hits lower, the one side on clearly shows its off his sleeve.

For the purposes of determining handball offences, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit. Not every touch of a player’s hand/arm with the ball is an offence.

 

So it was a handball?

Beyond any doubt.  I stayed on until NBC showed another replay and it was off bare skin.

[Collymore]

I thought we could have brought Mendy on for someone rather than Vestergaard for Youri. This isn't even hindsight, bringing on a giant defender almost tells everyone "sit back now and defend" which we haven't been able to do for months. 

 

That sub beggars belief.

[J. James]

Watching now just depresses me, dont watch football for downers like this trash so no more for me till the pr@tts gone 😡

[SixtiesFox]

Why oh why does a team that can't defend go ultra-defensive to try and protect a lead? Another set piece at the death. What is the definition of insanity?

Doesn’t matter, we put ourselves in a winning position and fuvked it up yet again
