[Albion] Premier League 11-13/12

Pretty graph III

This one will have us believe the Albion are not only faffing around in the opposition penalty area, more than last season.
But the Albion are also going against the trend by doing so.

I don't mind Sunday evening, I can ignore everything else and have a good weekend, get the beers in for 7pm Sunday and watch us play well and lose before bed time, at which point I'll be pissed enough to not care, maybe get a few ill considered rants off in the matchday thread beforehand

basically backing up the fact we can't shoot for toffee.

and who makes all this shit up is there some kind of national dullards graph centre?

 

[The Wizard]

Haller with auch a bad touch he ended up passing it to a Leeds player and gifting them a penalty.

£40 million.... FORTY.

Followed up by the worst penalty ever, pea rolled it.

 

[Steve in Japan]

VAR .....penalty retaken and scored.

 

[The Wizard]

Got to feel sorry for goalkeepers, I understand if keepers are yards off the line but that looked super close to me.

 

[Driver8]

Don Revie on VAR duty tonight.

 

[Deadly Danson]

And off we go again with more VAR nonsense. I'm sure some killjoy will be along to tell me it's a "factual" decision. Well I don't care, its a load of old bolllocks and against the spirit of the game.

Super diffiuclt for a keeper to save a penalty now they have to stick to the line. Hard and on target almost guarantees a goal. I've probably been too harsh on Ryan on recent penalties.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Looked like his heel was on the line. No close up so who knows

Indeed, another thing to add to the list we can no longer celebrate.

I have to say I don’t even understand why the rule exists, why do goalkeepers have to stay on the line? Penalty takers are allowed to pause, do a handstand and sing bohemian rhapsody but a goalkeeper must on the line when it’s already hard enough to save a penalty.

I genuinely thought his heel was on the line there, they seemed to make the decision extremely fast....,

 

[Steve in Japan]

West Ham looking good, if they continue to play like this I can't see Dirty Leeds winning.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Really entertaining game so far but Leeds are so open, West Ham should have scored 3 already. This game could be any score in the end.

Really fancy our chances against Leeds with our ability to be able to pass through their kamikaze press. Think we could score a few against them.

 

[Swansman]

Surely the Leeds keeper got the top 1 longest arms in the world

 

[Billy in Bristol]

Do I get a ban if I state that I really enjoy watching Leeds play?

 

[The Wizard]

Two angles, he probably does look half an inch off the line but for me, if the taker is allowed to stutter a run up being so anal about a goalkeeper being an inch off his line seems like it’s giving way too much of an advantage to the penalty taker.

Leeds worse at defending set pieces than us.

Apologies if I have the wrong poster.

But I seem to recall you being in favour of VAR?

 

[Stat Brother]

So we've had a bumper crop of penalties, this season.

Does anyone know how many have actually been saved.
I don't mean the ones taken by Fulham or the Albion!

How many penalties have been physically saved by the goalkeeper?

 

[Deadly Danson]

Apologies if I have the wrong poster.

But I seem to recall you being in favour of VAR?

I think you might have the wrong poster although I freely admit that I thought it would be a good idea when they were thinking about bringing it in. I was very very wrong although if they could figure out a way of just using it for the absolute clangers then it could work.
