Other PL Round 10 Fixtures - 8-9th October, 2022

[True Blue]

Missed the first half was out with the family, the second was super solid. We looked very good, i liked the 4-2-3-1 formation today looked good. Happy for Broja to get his first goal a good taken shot from not an easy position. Two back to back 3-0 wins can't complain. Still work to do but the season looks to start over.

My honest, ultimately quite cynical view is that Monday was down to the factors of how bad Forest were, how much the players responded to the crowd and some pretty superb finishes. I don't think we're fixed all of a sudden, albeit you would like to think there's a bit more confidence.

I've a feeling we'll lose this and be back at square one.

When you know, you just know.

That Forest win was a great night but a pyrrhic victory if it's bought this bloke time. We're an abject humiliation and 100% down if he stays the season. Our relegation hinges simply on how quickly he goes. The longer it is, the heavier our chance. He's killing us.

The keeper on Leicester's bench can't be worse than Danny Ward. He can't.

I legitimately can't see how Alex Smithies can be worse than this bloke. I'm not exaggerating when I say he should be playing for probably a League One side. Truly laughable that we continue to play this bloke. It's utterly disgusting management. Ward will take the flack when it's Rodgers who continues to pick somebody blatantly out of their depth, whilst stunting the progress of a keeper we've had years who was a lot more suited to this situation, somebody who has progressed a league each of the last three years with a loan spell and come back with a positive review each time. In-fact Iversen got man of the match for Preston against Bournemouth twice last year.

I genuinely cannot word how much I hate this manager. He's a complete disgrace to the club. I can forgive being crap, I mean look what I just said about Ward. Ward is shit but I can at least believe he's trying. Rodgers is actively taking the piss out of us, the contempt he holds this club, the fans, it's total sabotage and it's not accidental.

He's humiliating us and every game we stick by him I'm less sure of this owner. Heart in the right place but totally out of his depth I think. Will believe that until proven otherwise. The longer our owner lets this go on, the more he actually reinforces the nonsense Rodgers comes out with and imagine being so spineless as that.

Terrible. Every week we let this madness go on we add another nail into our own coffin. Surely if it happens it's one of the most abject relegations ever. This squad shouldn't even be in the discussion and as it is now we look nailed.

No we didn’t play well because we didn’t play well

You were bad but our pressing forced some errors out of you. 

I think St-Maximin would have had some joy had he played the full game as unlike previous teams coming up here you didn’t sit back which is to your credit.

Sure you’ve got more than enough for a mid-table finish.

Jacob Murphy has been brilliant, he can also use both feet which helps.

Tough VAR call in this WestHam game but they finally gave it to Scamacca. It's not an easy goal to score and he waited till the VAR decision was given to celebrate.

I still believe if Maximin is fit he needs to play regardless of anyone else.

Watched highlights on MOTD - how fortunate were West Ham with 2 of their goals?! Dare I say it's as if the officials wanted a West Ham win  

First goal - Dawson initiates contact. What can Pereira do? It's as if the ref had already made his mind up that if there's any more contact, of any kind, he'll blow his whistle. Dawson smashes his fore-arm into Pereira.

Second goal - Scamacca goal - glad that wasn't disallowed to be fair. Scamacca's hand not in an unnatural position and it barely grazes his hand. It'd been OTT if that is disallowed.

Third goal - Antonio handball. How in god's name is that not handball! He moves his arm in to the ball and allows him a clear opportunity in on goal. He's literally benefitted from pushing the ball being pushed by his hand. VAR saying the goal came from 2nd phase so they can't go back to the handball. Absolute bollocks, that . The handball has led and been a pivotal part to the goal. 

With that being said, Rashford's goal against Everton was disallowed because it was all same phase of play. So if he missed the chance or a defender got a block on his first shot, then he scored with the rebound, then it would have counted.
