Szobo. Wirtz played a free role, mostly coming in from the left Isak played a high role with Gakpo a left forward (wouldn't say he played LW)
On the Paqueta red, yes he's an complete idiot, but why aren't his team mates hauling him away. The incident goes on for an age, the ref actually holds off on the second for quite a while and there's ample opportunity for the West Ham players to save Paqueta from himself, but they didn't.
He's off to ACON, so doesn't really matter. I reckon he'll be sold in the Summer, the contract gave us the security of not losing him for free, rather than any long term playing. Last season earned him the right to another season imo, but anything beyond that (at his age) still has to earnt as it would be for any player over a certain age.
Thought was really unlucky in first half with that hooked volley. He did incredible to keep that down and get purchase on it.
About time. You wait ages for a goal and then two come along at once. (One for the oldies). Loved the precision of both goals, Gomez long throws and Wirtz showing why we bought him.
A well drilled and organised display, West Ham do tend to just allow us to do what we want so remains to be seen if we can get another 3 points during the week. But, I do know Isak getting off the mark in the league and Wirtz having a top game, followed by Konate actually having some cover and not being ultra exposed and looking like a donkey, will really have a positive effect. One game at a time, let’s kick on from this under the lights @ Anfield next
