Amazing how many keepers go down "injured" these days from no contact at all. The commentators still fret and worry, whilst commenting that the sub keeper isn't warming up.
Am shocked Joe Lumley is starting in the Prem. A keeper I wouldn't even be that confident in having at Charlton.
Also surely lose and Martin goes? They've got to at least give themselves some chance of getting out of this.
Lumley was a "free" last season and when Southampton signed Ramsdale they probably never envisaged having to play him but, with both Ramsdale and Bazunu injured, the alternative is McCarthy and he had a nightmare against Liverpool - he looks incapable of playing a ten yard ball to one of his own players which is a bit of an issue when the manager insists on the team playing out from the back.
Having 2 keepers injured is pretty ridiculous!
Potentially 3 keepers - Lumley having treatment now.
Not seen tonight’s incident but these idiots are ruining football. VAR should be for clear and obvious errors only. Two looks at it, say 20 seconds allowed to do so, will tell if it’s a clear and obvious error. Anything more and it’s not clear and obvious, get on with the game.

Yep.
But that ship has long sailed. The lunatics have taken over the asylum.

I genuinely think the people running VAR at each game are absolute idiots.
How can they spend 4 minutes drawing lines to check whether Archer was offside, then when they see he was onside, they then go 'oh well the guy in the middle was interfering'. If you thought he was interfering then surely that's the first thing you look at and it's a decision that takes 5 seconds and not 5 minutes.
I do hope West Ham come back to win. Especially for all those so called fans of theirs that decided to walk out at 0-4, hopefully only to find out the result when they get home.

Saka is absolutely terrorising their defence here.
World beaters with him, terrible without.
A strong bit of fisting for the penalty but a weaker hand as Saka scores Arsenal's 2nd pen of the 1st half.
