Could be a blood bath this afternoon

2 aging full backs playing at CB with killman in a 3 as potter is left short by jlos allowing us to go into a season with 3 senior CBS .. 1 injured 1 suspended

Summervilles knock came at the worst time..(Bowen still out)

Looks like paquata and kudus up top

This is some FIFA esc line up when you handicap the teams

Yep....West Ham look out of their depth already.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

By the letter of the law it’s not a red

But agree with the points that it’s cynical and no attempt at all to play the ball

I suspect they will get the ban overturned

I think I heard yesterday that it stood because it was over the ankle. That is what took it into red card territory (obviously open to debate)

 

[nickjdavis]

Spurs - Ange has got to go surely.

No...needs to be kept on for as long as possible.

Most trips are above the ankle

It will be interesting to see what happens next time some trips someone

That really depends on whether they were anywhere near the ball or even attempting to get the ball. In this case, he wasn't and it was above the ankle. That was the explanation given anyway

PGMOL are as we have seen going to look after their own - not the first and won’t be the last

Feel for Mings. He's made of glass.

Edit - rather his knees seem to be. Poor guy.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

That doesn’t look good for Mings

Hopefully not too bad as he hasn’t long been back from that awful knee injury

Embarrassing stuff by both sets of players at Villa Park.

Seriously embarrassing - what on earth are they thinking? Poor Paquata must have broken ribs.

I've just seen that Lewis-Skelly red to see what the fuss is about. Looks like I'm alone here, but a studs up challenge on the calf (see still pic) with no intent to play the ball....red for me all day.

Paqueta in every game throws himself to the ground as if he has been shot

It’s not lost on the West Ham fans.

Loved the polar opposite of kudus in the first half kept losing his footing but crawling into the box again and again lol

Not alone !

West Ham have some nice build up play but look utterly toothless, cue goal of course . Do they actually have a striker or is it just variations on a midfielder?

Nope, there is some bloke called Ings who looks like the sort of 45 year old bloke you see on holiday who likes a tattoo and could hold his own over the marshes.

Fullkrug keeps getting injured, and we know about Antonio. Ings is sat on the bench though.

Was Alvarez booked for handball??

Didn’t see Mings getting booked in the first half for catching the ball? Refs a Homer.
