Why do people on telly in the media and on here Keep saying that Onana is a replacement for Luiz when he played in Kamara’s position the whole game yesterday, and did it very well
Tielemans played more in the Luiz position and also did it very well

Tielemans had a very good first half but was quiet after the break I thought. If Cash hadn't limped off Id say Barkley would have come on for him as the last sub. Very good debut for Onana, kept it simple on the ball and strong in both boxes. In saying all that, Soucek as ever was stronger in both boxes rather than in midfield play, their new signing in midfield hardly had a kick. The first half was armchair ride stuff for our duo, Onana at one stage was able to stand and turn on the ball under no pressure, must have been 15 yards inside their half. There will be much stronger tests ahead for Onana/Tielemans starting next game.

It was never a pen, Cash played the ball . Luckily it didn't matter .
Ah but he never played the ball enough.
Exactly, he didn't kick it into row Z like Sully March did at Villa Park a couple of seasons ago.

I was more surprised that he left out Alf Garnett.

Probably sign for Chelsea come Tuesday - looks like they need a few players

Unpopular opinion I'm sure, but I thought Cash did really well against their best player.

I thought he had a decent game, too. They were focusing on our right all game and barely got a sniff while he was on the pitch, apart from the dodgy penalty.

No idea at the time whether it was a penalty or not as there were no replays shown on the screen. So we had the mad scenario where the fella standing next to me called his dad in Brum who was watching on telly to ask what was happening at the game we were watching live.

It was weird too that we were waiting for the  VAR decision and before this came up on the screen or the ref indicated the penalty would stand there was a lot of cheering from the West Ham fans to our left. They must have seen the decision on their phones from tv coverage I presume but they had a few seconds advance on those of us relying on the officials / big screen announcement.

Even more unpopular I thought he played well and it was a penalty. The fact they moved his main opponent to the other wing was an indicator. Summerville gave his replacement a pretty hard time last 10 mins.

Brand, ha ha yes, the utter t***t, I’d forgotten. That makes it twenty times more satisfying. I feel a bit sorry for decent West Ham fans saddled with that.

Keira Knightley is a West Ham fan, apparently. Not sure how serious she is about it. Can't see her being a season ticket holder.

Pao Torres is absolute quality he could play for any team in the world including Man City, Real Madrid, Barcelona

But he plays for us and that’s all that’s matters

In the first half, when he was being closed down by two West Ham players and he just shuffled the ball between both feet and went past them, I mean what centre half does that?
That's great and his ball to Maatsen was a gem but it concerns me that he is nowhere close to a place in his national team?

Frimpong at right back might mean the LB must be more solid/Konsa like?

I was disappointed with Emi turning into Olsen for the penalty. I expect him to get into the players' head and go the right way every time. Sort it out!

World's number one my arse!*

*I don't really mean that.
