West Ham have been ****, they turned up to play Allardyce tactics and it's been a comfortable match for us so far. Need to keep our concetration though as we've had a couple of slack moments and West Ham can't possibly be that bad again in the second half. Son had one silly moment trying to sell a dummy deep in his own half but other than that I think he's been excellent, lots of dangerous movement, great to see. Oh and Harry, what the **** was that?
It isn't, but the movement appears to have a shade more edge and precision to it. It's the loss:gain equation of Lamela in a nutshell, really.
"It isn't, but the movement appears to have a shade more edge and precision to it." We should be looking for both in a game if the upward path is to happen.
Good first half...battled well for the first 20 mins to earn the right to dominate the next 25...unlucky not to be 4 up! Need to come out with the same attitude in the second half as they will not be that bad after half time. We need to not panic and take advantage of the extra space there will be at the back as they push forward. Also need to keep tabs on Moses and Sakoa cos if they get the ball out wide they are more than capable of getting crosses into Caroll
Plus I know quite a lot of annoying West Ham "geezer" fans which will make work tomorrow bloody enjoyable as long as this carries on!
