And in the event we do decide to park the Sanders bus, we have Tettey, Trybull, Amadou and McLean so should be able to make a pretty decent fist of it!
Tough first half. West Ham being particularly "clever" with strategic fouls. Haller taking out Zimmerman then netting shortly after. Noble is being ignoble to Cantwell, understanding his threat. I think there might be some handbags in the second half. Farke needs to earn his salt here.
Horrible half to watch, we are being bullied badly by a team much, much bigger and savvier than ours. Yarmolenko is hideous, diving at every opportunity, should probably have been sent off, but it’s getting under our skin. How Haller and Noble haven’t been yellowed god only knows. Terrible refereeing. And to top it off, just when Zimmermann shows us what we’ve been missing he has to go off injured. We now have two CBs who are under six foot against one of the biggest attacks in the league. Eurrgh. Still, at least Cantwell nearly scores and seems to be winding them up nearly as much.
Trybull has a tendency to show his displeasure a bit too often. Like Emi last season. Three shots in first half not what I expected. WH have only taken four. Todd looks good again; Buendia needs to get in the game more on offense.
