But regardless of that, it wasn't A TEAM. It was a group of very good players slung together. Teams take time to build and gel even though this lot train together calling that display a team is pushing it.
No matter how good those players are if you put that many changes out you run the risk of coming a croper.
Bit like City spending millions but took an age to gel.
Wham showed us far too much respect 1st half and stood off us. 2nd half they were in our face and we cracked.
We still had plenty of starters in the league playing though - Dele, Son, Dier, Rose, Trippier, Toby and Davies are all core players to the team. No blame on Rose's part he's been out so long and put a good shift in. Just seemed to be a bad attitude overall and lack of urgency and understanding that West ham hate us and even at 2-0 down will fight until the end.
