The manager has to be called on this. Bissouma is not starting XI material. Him + Bentancur was similarly unsuitable.
and many squad upgrades to make an impact. It is what it is for now, but the summer needs to address all of this, as the season has got tougher with us being so one dimensional.
1-1 FT. Poor. Had loads of the ball and didn't create enough. Son as the lone striker doesn't work and we left it too late changing it.
****, udogie at the end! Much improved performance though. Still overplaying a bit at times but West Ham offered nothing except their set pieces.
Poor performance. Not a great result either. No idea what’s happened to us these last 4 or so months. Football’s been largely crap.
Ahh well. One of our worst fixtures of the season out of the way. One we often struggle to get points in. Another point on the board in a game we could easily have lost.
Johnson our best, with VdV not far behind. Sarr was so much better than either Bentancur or Bissouma as soon as he came on. Kulusevski again failed to impress when he came in.
We have to face the hard but obvious truth that five years of chronic neglect cannot be unravelled in a year. Gaping problems with not just the squad but the first team too.. It's early days yet. Next season is the real test and similarly this summer will give us a real indication as to whether Daniel has learned the lessons of recent years or not.
