A 6'3" striker misses an open goal header from less than a yard ... LOL LOL ... thank god we actually  won !! Should have been 3 or 4-0 ...

Kepa would've scored that by standing still and letting it bounce off his face

Clean sheet sees us through

We do miss a few chances,

Werner led the line well

Mount stepped up a gear 2nd half

The Kante twins again dominant

Now for a trip to Madrid

West Ham looked good at times, but overall we were in control.  I fully expect them to implode now and end up 5th or 6th.

Are you lot joking😂😂? Do you want him to grow an extra foot? He’s already jumping and stretching just to touch the f**king thing, honestly 😂

I can't believe people are blaming him for not being 8 foot tall, he did well to get anything on it, it was way over hit.

Well I was, can’t speak for the rest.

Look at his position and the jump again, he’s not coming onto the ball like strikers do.

Like I said, unavoidable or avoidable, accidental or intentional, natural or unnatural - it is all irrelevant.

The rules of football do not allow a player to dig your studs high into an opponent's leg. 
 
If the referee deemed that his action resulted in dangerous play, then the red was justified. 
 

 

Then every single tackle in the game should be outlawed, because every single one of them has an element of danger to it.

Yes because he can’t suddenly make his leg disappear. It’s a contact sport, these things happen. 

yep... these things happen. And when they do, and the ref deems the resulting contact dangerous, then a red card is fully justified. 
 

 

 

Tammy just trying to make Timo feel better with that miss at the end 😅

Big 3 points though. Can afford to drop pts away against City now, which is massive.

Agree, I thought he did well considering the ball was quite high up and overhit.

What an incredible take, so are you saying every single accidental contact should be looked at as a red card? Don't be so ridiculous. 

Get in !!!

You leave Kleansheet Kepa alone or he’ll get his greaser gang to beat you up!

It's a shame the red card will be the talking point, as we completely deserved that win however many players they had ...

Just saw an advert for a sticker book, do you think we would of got one for the ESL if it went ahead?

Vital 3 points, but we do not get them in style recently. However, I trust Tuchel to improve the squad with new players and also by getting the best from those who are not beyond any hope.

If every single tackle resulted in a player raking his studs halfway up his opponents then I am sure there would be many more red cards.

If it’s not sock related it can f**k off!

I suggest you look at the whole move again. He had great movement to get in the position and mason overhit the cross, no striker in the world is scoring that unless they’re 8 foot tall.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, we have Fulham next, the type of team Tuchel has been struggling against since he arrived.

Always happy with a win over West Ham.😀

Another clean sheet .

Feels good to put this lot back in their place. Red card was a joke but didn’t really change anything. I’m sure the post-match analysis will still focus on it anyway. Mount was great, a usual, and Timo had a good game and took his goal well, shame about the misses.

You got to love Werner, he just basically said that he was happy to come back and scoring one was fine, scoring two would have been too much

It’s laughable mate honestly, be the same folk saying Werner was put off by the keeper and that’s why he was unable to hit the target from 2 yards out on his strong foot.
