Sulemana on for Armstrong. With his pace and Onuachu hold up would be a big threat. The West Ham defence would drop off more allowing Onuachu a bit more space
This should be about 2-2. A million times better attacking wise but still look vulnerable on the break which is to be expected. THB terrible for the Wan Bissaka chance and we're still too slow to close down in those sort of situations. Armstrong's best game for ages and think this style suits him more. Fernandes and Lesley excellent also. Paul has some lovely touches and hold up play but finishing and decision making in final third is poor. Simply has to score that chance towards the end but in fairness was unlucky with the earlier header which was a brilliant save from Fabianski. On Fabianski and I hope he's okay, looked bad even from the Northam. The fact they've already had to make two subs may benefit us though as I can see us being absolutely ****ed by the hour mark. Archer and Dibling as a double sub will make sense when we do start to tire. And then Lallana for one of the midfielders a bit later on. Overall that's the most enjoyable half in months so I fully expect VAR to get involved at some point and ruin the game.
Yeah but we're not staying true to ourselves and are kicking goal kicks long which isn't much fun. Ludicrous it took us so long. Genuinely could have a decent chance of staying up without needing the miracle of all miracles. Absolute ****ing fraud.
That ball control with his chest though... Seems like we're all rooting for Tall Paul now! Personally, I'd like to see Sugawara be a bit more threatening. This is much better though. Keep it up!
We all love a trier. He seems to be doing absolutely his best in effort which is commendable after his experience at our club
Yeah 100%. No way we can keep this up with our fitness levels as they are now. We've got options on the bench though who can run and run so hopefully Juric is proactive.
