[West Ham](https://www.claretandhugh.info/west-ham-0-1-arsenal-the-morning-after/) fans are hurting after the incredible irony of seeing their side’s equaliser overturned by a five minute VAR review yesterday. This after Arsenal have made set-piece chicanery their specialty this season with endless examples of opposition goal keepers being taken out, impeded or – in one case being bundled over the line -doing the rounds on social media today.
None of which will change the result or the points allocation.
It might be somewhat cathartic for thousands of upset Hammers fans, though: More so if, as expected, Tottenham ram home their advantage with a home win tonight and seal the Hammers’ fate.
94 Premier League goals yet sat on the bench for virtually the whole game – again
Callum Wilson’s superb volley – a ‘goal’ by any other name – would have been his second in added time within two weeks at London Stadium and it begs the question as to _why Nuno Espírito Santo overlooks the proven Premier League predator_ and insists on playing the talentless Pablo – whose only contribution is to run gamely at opponents like a toothless puppy.
Forty minutes of Wilson could have transformed that result yesterday instead of the young Brazilian’s limited contribution.
_West Ham needed goals yet Nuno could not bring himself to bring on the player with ninety four Premier League goals under his belt._
Somebody needs to ask him why he persists with Pablo even when the evidence before him is clear.
Too late, now for this season: Nuno will likely be off to pastures new in the summer along with 90% of his squad but, just in case he’s thinking of an extended stay, it’d be good to understand on which planet he feels Pablo is likely to give him more goals than the wily old fox Wilson.
