Hammers v Leicester

Hoping for a good game tonight, think WH will do the Foxes, and they should do quite well this season.

I can see goals in this one, should be entertaining.

I'm hoping for a 2-2, big points for me!

Had to check my prediction, I've got Leicester for a 2-1 victory.

I just want Antonio to score a hatrick for Fantasy Football reasons.

Good luck then, I give up that lark a few years ago, it's too much hard work to keep up to date with injuries & suspensions.

Lovely goal to put WH one up. Very good game this. Frantic

Moyes has most definitely got rid of his dinosaur tag, WHU play some superb football

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Aug 23, 2021 8:28 pm

They break very quickly.
V. Good goal.

West Ham are so easy on the eye,Moyes has done a brilliant job there,pity Utd didn't have a bit of patience with him,I guess the got what they deserved ...one tactic Ole at the wheel.

Antonio is going to have a great season if he stays injury free. Especially with the refs letting a bit more go physically.

How did Oliver miss that first up. Was looking right at it.

Ayoze sent after VAR review. Bad challenge.

Unbelievable that the Leicester players can complain after seeing that on the big screen. As obvious a red card as you’ll see.

Steve1956 · Post by **Steve1956** » Mon Aug 23, 2021 8:43 pm

He meant that..100%

Dreadful challenge. A leg breaker.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ all day this, didn't even give it as a free kick. It's more embarrassing that the LCFC players are arguing the decision despite seeing it on the big screen

If Klopp thought we were bad I'd expect him to be calling the FA to get the rules changed after seeing that !

That first eleven West Ham have is a perfectly balanced team

If they can keep them all fit they could be there or thereabouts for the top four

They could indeed, they were strongly challenging last season, before injuries eventually took their toil, and so far they don't appear to be missing Lingard.

I've only seen the picture, but it looks horrendous on that alone, definitely a red for me.

For all The negatives the London stadium has a great atmosphere....

If that was on the street, the Old Bill would probably get involved.

It didn’t have a great atmosphere when we beat em there 3-0. Amazing turn round since then

Tbf more the toxic variety which fed through to the players...Moyes has now steadied the sinking ship.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Aug 23, 2021 9:22 pm

Hmm! this could turn ugly if Leicester aren't careful, West Ham running amok 2nd half.

Why would anybody play a back pass blind, that's just asking for trouble.

Still zero shots on target for Leicester.

Shocking tackle, a three match ban just doesn't seem fair, should be 15 for an assault like that.

It'll only be a 3 match ban, means he'll miss Leicester's fixtures against Norwich, Man City & Brighton, but Perez would then be available for the Foxes trip to TM.

Seems to be how things work out for us. He will be nice fresh as well !!!!!

Goal out of nothing, could make the last 15 minutes interesting.

Gee whizz, it’s the commentary team from hell here: MartinTyler and Andy Townsend.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Mon Aug 23, 2021 9:39 pm

It's like watching the West Ham of old. They were always good to watch with high tempo attacking play. Lost it for a few years but Moyes has it back. I would rather watch this than teams passing it back all the time.

Some of their crossing has been evil for the defenders.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Mon Aug 23, 2021 9:41 pm

Fair to say the centre back has had one.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Aug 23, 2021 9:41 pm

Three for WH
