    Agreed, he must play in the middle ;ok

    I agree although I'd like to see Antonio close to Carroll like he was yesterday

    Lots of options for Bilic it's up to him to see how they are gonna fit in (and Ayew to be back in Feb he'll struggle to get back into the team)

    Not often I agree with Piers Morgan.....

    For technique, skill, execution & power, I'm calling that @AndyTCarroll scissor-kick goal as the best in Premier League history.

    This gives me a real dilemna. But I'm going to have to doubt the brilliance of the goal now as nothing will ever convince me that Piers Morgan has an ounce of honesty or truth in his body

    I've always thought PDC's goal was the best ever based on the timing to meet Trev Sinclair's diagonal cross-field pass, the athleticism (remember he was sprinting to get into position) and the sheer audacity of it.
    However, having watched Carroll's goal again (and again and again-can never get too much of a good thing ;biggrin) , I'm putting them both on a par with each other. ;clap

    I think Di Canio's is better, because I have never seen anyone score a goal in the same manner (same as Giroud's actually). Carroll's was one of the best bicycle kicks I've ever seen, but I have seen a number of them. The uniqueness of Di Canio's sets it apart, for me.

    But, I don't think I've ever seen such a sweet connection.

    PDC for me ;ok
  • NEoldironNEoldiron
    Alderz, you're right about PDC and the uniqueness of it.
    Maybe I need to reconsider ;hmm ;biggrin
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    Carroll's is almost too perfect technically. A bit of rawness and ingenuity about PDC's. Giroud's as well ;sofa
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Girouds not worthy of mention compared to our two lads ;biggrin

    The thing with Giroud's is that he himself admitted it was a fluke, he wasn't trying to pull that off specifically, more a 'flick a foot out and see what happened'.

    PDC's was awesome, the angle, the judgement, the uniqueness of the kick.

    But Carroll's was very special. The ball from Antonio wasn't even that good, it was behind him and he was unable to head it. It's not like Antonio thought "I'll set this one up for him to scissor kick".

    ;hmm

    Garth Crooks:

    "the Hammers did actually manage to muster some atmosphere in this makeshift football graveyard"

    ;lol he really has nothing nice to say about us
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    That is the problem with Garth Crooks (ex Spurs!), one week you can praise him for digging out Mike Dean and then the next ...... ;doh

    Two thoughts based on Saturday's match that came to me:
    1. Slaven Bilic sets out the team in the first half for damage limitation, and watches the other team during the first half. At half time, he makes the changes necessary to play to maximum effect against the opposition. Doesn anybody else think this is what happens?
    2. After all of the discussions and heated arguments about last summer's transfers not doing the job, it was the one transfer we were happiest about the ended up not doing the job.

    In addition, I wonder if, now that the Payet question (which surely must have been floating round the training camp and dressing room like a bad smell) has been put to rest by Bilic, will we see some of those new players (like Feghouli) gain confidence, play more assertively and better?

    Love Bilics celebration on 0:22ish, the sheer delight/relief followed by the temptation of smashing a water bottle, but pulls out at the last second to keep his composure. ;scarf ;scarf ;scarf ;scarf ;scarf
