Everyone saying how amazing we were first half, nah. Had all the ball but did fuck all with it
We were miles better first half v Villa
We were miles better first half v Villa
The first 15 were absolutely terrific. West Ham were really struggling.Not quite sure how we have managed not to pick up more points recently.
Anyhow, love the philosophy and the style. With a few more decent recruits and less bad luck with injuries…… we are gonna be a force.
This season was always about transition
This is what we have to learn to do. We can't play Maddison all the time and expect him to deliver in every game. It's what Ange has to figure out. A top team has to have multiple attacking avenues and ways to score goals.So how do you sort it out with our lack of creation without Maddison and our lack of goals without Kane?
With each passing game you can see the confidence infront of goal draining out of them…
Not good enough if wanting to challenge top 4. A very good professional and imo a top 6-10 level player.Why do people always want Davies out. He's a solid player.
I thought tonight was poor all round , Porro and Romero were good , the rest bang average and 2nd half we made it so comfortable for West Ham , we wouldn’t have scored if we played till Xmas . I’m concerned this continues till end of jan and we can’t keep needing to score 3 goals to win a game . We let in 2 goals to a team tonight that came for a 0-0 and we’re wasting time at 1 nil down .
Because the opposition know hos limitations and lack of agility so will press him hard.Why do people always want Davies out. He's a solid player.
First proper stinker throughout (Chelsea implosion aside) this season. Next to no bite going forwards. Pity. Hopefully we can turn it around soon because we're in danger of getting stuck in a rut at this rate, and there's no need for that.
Don’t remember us creating 1 clear cut chance first half!?I thought we were good first half but failed to take our chances and get the second.
Second half was poor all over the pitch.
The first 15 were absolutely terrific. West Ham were really struggling.
I said to my dad that West Ham players must be wishing they played for a team like ours.
Its easy to forget thats start.
As I said, better quality and depth and we do 2 things.
1. Be more ruthless and go 2 up early.
2. Adapt to West Ham going deeper by using a better bench or simply stepping up.
Spot onWont be like this forever.
If you get a second goal then WH have to come out and leave gaps.
I also think our play suffered second half because of depth.
People need to start to recall the early part of the season.
We had first halves where we had a 15-20 minute period where the level dropped. Then second half we raised it again.
Thats cause Sarr was running all day, Maddison was constantly instigating and VdV allowed us to take more risks.
We are starting to rely on limited players and players who are not as physical/energetic.
Get that back and we will see more 2 nil wins.
I agree though that we need better quality from the wings.
Deki, Gil, Richy's and Johnson's numbers are poor
Don’t remember us creating 1 clear cut chance first half!?
Best chance of the half by a mile was the West Ham header at the far post without a spurs defender within 10 yards of him!!
Supporters heads drop quicker than the players imoThe confidence is gone. When we concede now the heads drop sadly
Who of the requisite quality is available in January?BACK HIM IN JANUARY! This isnt his team yet and there is still deadwood that needs shifting
Why the hell did he take Lo Celso off for Skipp....
I just cant understand that decision...
