West Ham vs Leeds United Match Thread

[The Subhuman]

Wasn't claiming we have been the victims for the entire season, just pointing out imo, we haven't benefited for the entire season either. It's not just about the award of penalties.

It's not but bookings, red cards, etc have mostly gone our way. Apart from the "error" when Gudds was sent off I can't think of many if any decisions go against us..

One or two may have gone our way but the majority have been down the line correct decisions (as they should be at this level).
However, there were quite a few that didn't "go our way"
Newcastle away, let's play until Newcastle score again.
Elland road, DF is sent off for entering the field of play (aggressively jogging) after the final whistle.
West Ham away, Stach is taken out in the box leaving him on crutches, refs decision was " carry on as you were"
Same game, Struijk is clearly kicked in the head directly as they score during the 12 plus minutes the ref chose to add on.

Just a few examples that I can remember where all the decisions didn't go our way.
Overall I think we have done OK with the decisions, but I certainly wouldn't say they have gone mostly our way.

The Struick kick in the head was a shocker of a decision John.

I cannot imagine the PL wanting to see Spurs relegated so watch out for dodgy VAR decisions if Spurs look like loosing and WH ahead. I would love to see Spurs go down - if WH stay up it will be another team that we can take points off next season, if Spurs stay up next season they will certainly not be as poor as this season.

[GreennWhite]

I am more interested in how we will do next season rather than how other teams might do. We need to look after ourselves first, and foremost.

I hope Daniel Farke will enjoy the whole weekend off after the Wet Spam game which will be the sum total of his Summer holidays before getting his nose back to the grindstone!

We’ve no chance with that lineup Sub.

[Johnthewhite]

Can't see Darlow being dropped for the last game of the season, particularly with enforced changes elsewhere. Looks like one or two of the kids may get some minutes

[pjm2019]

We’ve no chance with that lineup Sub.

Darlow in goal then it is a decent team which could win

[weasel]

I think we will see Dan James in a fullback position. Think Farke will want to continue to see if it is a viable option for next season given that we might be playing without wingers again.

Not sure we will see Tanaka and Aaronsen both in midfield. Very powder puff albeit I am not sure what the alternative is unless we see one of the centrebacks pushed into a DM role.

[The Subhuman]

I still have no clue who's better, Darlow or Perri, but Perri was superb in the cup and he's massive... Definitely a top class keeper there

[Sean_Nile]

Poor Bowen left out of the England squad, wonder how this effects him.

Peri has a couple of weaknesses in game that he needs to work on.

The first is probably obvious to everybody in that he needs to improve his judgement when ball are played in behind the defensive line and whether he should come and clear it or not. Currently he's hesitant and therefore stays on his 6 yard line where's Darlow is positive and sweeps up well in comparison.

The second is his foot work across the goal when he's been covering the near post. See the semi final goal against Chelseas as a good example where balls into the centre of the box leave him stranded and the goal gaping.

We have two good keepers in my opinion so I'd be happy for them both to continue next season and we can then look to strengthen elsewhere.
