February 16 Social Zone: West Ham turn to Manchester United to solve penalty drought
Jesse Lingard’s signing pays dividends, while Christian Pulisic finds himself out in the cold at Chelsea.
SOCCER: West Ham United had to go to great lengths to earn their first penalty of the season, bringing in someone from spot-kick-earning specialists Manchester United.
However, Jesse Lingard had clearly not done his research on who the Hammers' designated penalty taker is.

SOCCER: If Christian Pulisic thought the arrival of his former coach Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea would signal a change in his fortunes he was right. He's now playing much less.

SOCCER: As one of the comments to Duane Holmes' post says: "That's not Huddersfield". Either that or he's got a bloody good chiminea.
