It'd be peak Chelsea for us to lose to a shambolic West Ham this week, but we've looked really good since the restart and I'm feeling confident.

Hoping for a classic trap game for Chelsea after the nice win against City. Plus, you guys have a weekend Cup match, while West Ham will be rested. Haller looks like he will still be out, so likely Antonio at striker again, which is not ideal.

With the gulf in form between both squads right now, frankly I don't think it will matter.

Definitely need some squad rotation so we have some guys that are fresh and up for the game.

Gilmour will start this weekend against Leicester and Jorginho will start against West Ham, of both these facts I'm fairly confident.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Would be nice to see us and Everton win. Create a cushion for Champions League.

 

[Savant]

Looking forward to the beach the weekend

Hopefully no more Barkley starts. I just don't think he's good enough to be starting for a top 4 side.

Brighton have proven they can beat Man U over our short time in the Premier League. That being said United have looked solid since the return and I would be surprised if we came away with 3 points.

Going into the first 3 games back I would have been happy with getting 4 points so anything against Man U will be a bonus.

Adama Traore subbed on for Wolves again, instantly makes a great run which leads to a goal that wins them the game.

West Ham? More like East Ham.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Danny Ings...playing like a monster.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Ward-Prowse with a nice FK. He's been excellent and Southampton as a whole were solid.

 

[c9777666]

So how DID Watford beat Liverpool?

 

[Live in the Now]

So how DID Watford beat Liverpool?

Lovren.

 

[Cassano]

So how DID Watford beat Liverpool?

Not every team can go unbeaten.

 

[YNWA14]

Lovren.

Ismaila Sarr also had the game of his life.

Ismaila Sarr also had the game of his life.

I still say Lovren.. wtf was he trying to do with Deeney? After it was 1-0 for one of the rare time LFC was not able to climb back and Sarr managed to score on the counter.

That should be a red for Ayew. You can't forearm shiver people.

...and he gets away with nothing.

What the thought process by that VAR referee was is beyond me. These people are beyond incompetent.

They said on the DAZN broadcast that because the referee had a very clear look at it, that it wasn't a "clear and obvious error".

What sort of bizarre justification is this? VAR and pass interference review in the NFL are some of the biggest disasters in recent sports history. What's the point of replays and reviews to get something right, if you just use mental gymnastics to not get it right. I sort of understanding not wanting to make the refs look bad, but you'd think they'd want the chance to make up for something that they may have missed or misinterpreted when the play was at full speed.

VAR has been a disaster in the EPL, they have completely bungled its implementation.

They showed a shot of the incident with the referee in the frame showing that he was looking right at them with a clear view, and stated that this meant it wasn't a clear and obvious error. Ridiculous reasoning as it assumed he made the correct call.

Review is done right when it's viewed as a do-over, a clean slate to just get the call right, not when you assume the on-field ref is correct in his call, and you put obstacles in place like clear and obvious to overturn it.

CP is Rebecca Lowe's favorite team.

I thought it was Leicester?
