The overturned pen,
Not sure of the rules,but He was fouled first,then keeper touched the ball 2nd after the arsenal player touched the ball first. I thought the opposing player had to touch the ball first, Otherwise you can foul someone,run after the ball then touch it. Even after keeper touched it,the attacker could still continue to get the ball and score,but was prevented from doing so. Var is to stop clear and obvious errors, Like with pixel off sides,and micro touches,these aren’t clear and obvious mistakes,they are insignificant touches. Surely it has to be relevant touches,altering the direction of the ball,not finger nail glances resulting in penalties,if the direction of the ball isn’t altered ,then the infringement is irrelevant. |

The 2nd hand ball pen.
Not given because it grazed his shin,so can’t be handball as it came off his body first. So ,any defender on goal line ,dive at shot with both hands near head,try and get your head on it a bit,then catch the ball. Or if the shot is eak,just flick it up off foot or knee,then catch the ball and throw it back to your keeper.. They’ve literally got so obsessed with accurate micro detail,to the enth degree,that they’ve missed the bigger picture. It’s become a competition in finding any excuse to over turn a decision. They should scrap var and just get the ref to watch 1 replay from 1 angle,to check he’s not completely got it wrong,same for offsides,if he looks on or off by the naked eye from 1 replay,then that’s the decision. |

Has anyone tried to write a handball flow chart?

Nah,
Does anybody know the law and more importantly how to apply it. Commentators like Hansen back in the day….. there was contact … then idiot fans apeing that comment as justification. There is a lack of intelligence in football |

West Ham realized Everton are not very good

Two dreadful sides

Have West Ham really sacked David Moyes to use Graham Potter as a stop gap to get in the Portuguese Moyes instead ?

By:
shame the Hammers hierarchy didn't wait until after tonight to sack Potter !
Nuno certainly had them more organised compared to their previous games this season. They are not dreadful WD and neither are the toffees. But they are symptomatic of the averageness that purveys the Premier League, which is hyped up to the eyeballs but in reality is not great in depth. How many goals are due to really poor defending ? Everton have the nucleus of a decent side but desperately lack a striker who can put the ball in the net, trouble is there are not many of those around. |

What ever happened to the likes of Sheringham, Fowler, Andy Cole, Les Ferdinand, Yorke, Wright, Shearer, Owen, Le Tissier, Cantona, Collymore etc, best forwards of the 90's in the Prem
Today, apart from Haaland, Gyökeres and Isak, there's no other current Premier League striker anywhere near the level of those above, Watkins? Pedro? Tesco Sekso? Beto? Larsson? Wood? Welbeck? Muniz? Mateta? Fulkrug? Richarlison? Evanilson? Waltermitty? Calvert-Lewin? Isidor? Thiago? Foster? Standard has dropped massively through the floor. Notice how many top quality English strikers there was, the talent pool can't just have disappeared, they're now just overlooked for local scouting and development in favour for cheap overseas garbage. Kind Regards |

Problem is we started punishing foul play, so strikers flourished
and attacking play. Now we allow defenders to foul all the time with little sanction, and you can punch somebody in the face and if they don't fall down it's just play on. An elbow to stomach is a yellow card, whilst a feigned head butt still brings a red. Bowen is as good as Dwight yorke Salah is a decent striker, But world football in general lacks decent strikers |

I picked up the game a few minutes before West Ham scored. I could not believe how poorly Everton defended. They seemed wide open and like cart horses. Some of the close control was appalling. That is just my view on what I saw. I would be inclined to bet against both sides when the opportunity arose.. |

By:
Bit simplistic basing your judgement of EFC on 30 minutes of football WD and ignoring all the good signs in the previous four and a half games . Some of the attacking link play between Jack, Ndiaye and KDH has been a joy to watch. A lack of close control is fairly endemic throughout the EPL, it's not just confined to the two teams last night. Considering the billiard tables that they play on these days, the lack of skill generally on show is depressing.

Compared to sixty years ago strikers are cosseted and mollycoddled enormously.
No tackling from behind by clog-shod defenders with a licence to slice forwards calf’s to shreds. Read up on Hughie Gallagher. Even thirty years later the Ron Harris’s were allowed to scythe the George Bests of our world with impunity. Forwards have never had such freedom and security. |

By:
Forwards had their era, Messi, Ronaldo et Al.
Now it's a cloggers delight, taken out at source ... Play on |

By:
I agree about Jack G Captain and have just said such on the calling Everton thread. But his stats on setting others up for goal attempts is i believe the best in the EPL.

And of course grealish tops the most fouled category in epl.
