He should have passed it to Rice who I think was offside.

Can't tell if he's crying or there's a head bobbing up and down just off the bottom of the screen.

Well he couldn't miss that one! I just look at the KDBs of this world and think, especially without a star striker, we need our CAM to be scoring 10+ a season.

Wait, right back... It's been a long day...

Yup. Or even the Saliba head contact. No intent there at all.

This was 100% further. It started in the West Ham half and was near the byline. I wouldn't have put money on Messi or Ronaldo scoring from there, let alone a West Ham player.

Also, the same situation happened after that (minus MLS) where they had 2 men running at goal unchallenged, Raya initially 40 yards out, and they completely fucked it up.

I saw it on TV. It's not a red. No player scores even 1/10 shots from the half way line. Raya only runs back because he sees the foul and is getting ready for it to be taken quickly. If there's no foul Raya goes to the ball, if he squares it we have cover. They score 1/10 times from that situation.

So why isn't every foul that blocks a potential shot nearer the goal a straight red? They're all goal scoring opportunity, with considerably higher xG than that chance.

Well then!

Wouldn't surprise me. Maybe we'll see MLS come on for Rice later.

We've seen it happen over and over again too, it's bizarre.
