West Ham could have been out of sight by half time if theyd taken their chances, completely different game when Fernandes and Rashford came on

Cant be long till the big sides start sniffing round Fernandes ;)

He's already at a big club, maybe the biggest. ;)
 
hows the lino supposed to look back down the line at the same time as looking across the pitch to see if the runners offside?

Surely as soon as the ball has been kicked he no longer needs to be looking across the pitch for the offside and can watch the ball to see if it goes out of play. I'm making no judgement on whether or not the ball went out or not but from the moment it's been kicked the player can no longer be offside so the assistant doesn't need to be looking across the pitch and can focus on the flight of the ball.
 
you mean when refs werent good enough so we had to bring in VAR? not sure why how it used to be has any bearing on the fact you cant look in 2 places at once
No, VAR was never introduced to cover the sidelines. And tbh aren’t linesman always been expected to look in 2 places at once to judge any offside.

He’s 40yds+ from the ball on the half way line or level with the last man, he should be watching both, at his level he’ll know whether a player is offside or not, he should also consider the flight of the ball, instead he turned his back and ran down the line.
 
Should have been out of sight first half...We were the better side for 60 minutes and scored one but they were the better side for 30 minutes and scored three. Says it all really.

This is Moyes fault though...He should have sent them out in leopard print kits 2nd half and we would have had them for dinner.?
 
That was an astonishing miss from Werner. Not only does he stop Giroud's effort that was potentially going in off the post, he then fails to score from one yard! One for the all time worst miss video montages, that. :eek:

That Haller stumble was the moment ..should have buried

Bowen missed a good chance and fornals hitting post and heading wide

Should have been out of sight but hey I'll take the positives that whilst we lost (rightly so after their last 30 mins) we looked better than against villa and Sheffield utd and Fulham

Can't comment on in or out debate as couldn't even tell myself .. where on earth would var stand? It's impossible to tell surely

Our poor finishing and the quality of their subs was the difference today. Can’t complain though we played better today than we did against Fulham and Villa.

Fully agreed , poor finishing first half. If you don't take your chances you pay

Leeds next... Tough game but we had a 3 match unbeaten run.. which is so rare.. more postives than negatives
 
Just seen the Pogba goal on you tube. You are never gonna get a decision where the ball is out of play if the linesman is not looking for it. He has had a shocker there.
