I know I know he’s scored two important goals but when you compare him to a good midfielder im not sold yet. Look don’t get me wrong. He’s got bags of potential.
I actually don't have a problem with 5 at the back, when Ritchie and Murphy are the wing backs, as they both try and get forward, so don't think its an ultra defensive mode. I was pretty impressed with West Ham, when I watched them play Leicester last weekend. They play the ball round well at speed and retain possession well. Murphy and Ritchie will be in for a real test against Bowen and Masuaka, who seems to link well with Lingard, and gets forward a lot down the left. having said that I reckon we might sneak this, as this is the 3rd game in a row that's on at time I can watch and we have picked up points in both those.
We are the 9th highest goal scorers in the top division of all time. Unbelievablely The mackems are 10th
really? I don't watch his pre match press conferences like they're too embarassing. Quite like the post match ones though for a good laugh
