Not sure why it needs a striker going off. Remove Redmond and Tadic. Play the diamond. Put Romeu behind, and Boufal in front.
This is very much like Wigan first half, except West Ham have scored twice. Their players look far more up for it than ours, we get brushed off the ball with ease, lose every 50/50 and if we ever do have the ball, we look utterly terrified and aimless with it. We need to get one back before half time. We needed to keep it tight and frustrate their team and crowd. We've done the opposite. So frustrating. Pfffft.
I think this is actually as bad as Newcastle. I knew there was no reason for optimism after beating Wigan.
Honestly. I don't think 85% of this team really give a flying ****. They don't act like they do on the pitch anyway.
