Good Lord, Jon Moss strikes again. Stonewall pen denied for Bournemouth and Smith even gets booked for diving, shocking

He was going down looooong before he was even close to the defender. Right call.

 

[Kandi1977]

Always thought w should have brought him from qpr... the fee was so low

Not the kind of striker we need. His playing style and strengths are similar to Llorente, and see how well that works.

 

[Rorschach]

Austin should have scored there.

Disagree
He is more varied IMO
But he is certainly more prolific when fit

Llorente hasn't worked out but I suspect that he was bought as a plan B. He just hasn't really done what we brought him in for yet is more the problem IMO.

More prolific? Wow! Llorente has been a top player in the biggest leagues for a decade! Austin had 2 good seasons at qpr and has done virtually nothing since that.

He has had a good career but we are just seeing the tail end of it now unfortunately

Been injured for a lot of it
Austin has a great goal to game ratio
Llorente has been a sub at the top clubs he has played for

2005–2013 Athletic Bilbao 262 (85)
2013–2015 Juventus 66 (23)
2015–2016 Sevilla 23 (4)
2016–2017 Swansea City 33 (15)

Sevilla and his last year at Juventus was his only spells as mostly a sub.

 

[markysimmo]

Full house yet again at the champions elect, as brill as they are yet they can't sell out 48k absolutely laughable

 

[paxtonwolf]

And Sterling hits the deck in the area after just 80secs

 

[Kandi1977]

If we had 3 more wins under the belt at this stage, I would have hoped for either City putting 5+ goals past WH, or West Ham winning. As it is now, there's only one outcome I hope for.

 

[paxtonwolf]

WHU unlucky not to score then

Yeah there the top clubs
Bilbao and swanasea are not top clubs

 

[Kandi1977]

Yeah there ten top clubs
Bilbao and swanasea are not top clubs

I said a decade, not 10 clubs.

Wait until they expand it...

Typo
They’re the top clubs

When he has been at he top sides (which we are) he hasn’t started regularly

Bilbao is one of the top 6 clubs in Spain.

 

[Kandi1977]

Sterling is back to his usual self, diving and blasting it 20 meters high and wide.

 

[PochettinoPochettinoPochettino]

Of all the keepers I hate Adrian is up there.

He has time wasted since the first minute.
