We were brilliant with set pieces earlier in the season because we literally stood still meaning most of the opposition players ended up in a offside position. Teams have figured this out and now time their runs. That's exactly what West Ham have been doing.

The manager is no mug he's got them running from deep and it's killing us as we step up.

Keita has been our best player going forward so far so no idea what you lot are on about. Unlucky with a ball over top to Salah. Nice turn and run forward lay off into Robbo.

Kept ball moving in the middle... yeah he’s not played an inch perfect 70 yard through ball onto the toe of Salah to set up a tap in but cmon let’s not just bash him for the sake of it

Keita is frustrating. There is a decent player in there but he's so short of confidence he's taking the easy options. He's not exactly a midfield general though so can be a bit of a passenger defensively.

WH have shown the whole league how to get at our back line. Just flop anywhere in final third and play 2 touch freekick into the box = chance

I know a lot will be said of the midfield players but Salah really needs to step up in the second half. We really need to stretch the spammers
 
Keita blocked off from free kick. Interesting I’d that is given as a foul in VAR world. Noble not playing the ball and obstructing the defender with a block.

**** half though, not played well at all. Bobby has been a lot more involved deeper but Salah is still a preripheral figure up top at times

Not great but we're level with half our defence missing
Pity WHam have copied the Chelsea FK routine using Noble instead of Luiz.
Keita is pretty crap but you keep getting glimpses of the player we thought we bought though i have a theory about that.
Lala has been better than expected but just want Firm to stay forward more instead of dropping back.
 
I am worried he will give Westham a few calls after that clusterfuck

Obviously, allowing Milner to play from a offside position is the biggy but he got two wrong in their favour too; gave them a corner and wrongly ruled Salah offside.

Linesman is very worrying, he could easily give them a penalty in the second half due to his poor eyesight. Keita has made some good runs with the ball, but does not pass it fast enough and just gets crowded out. The Prem is not like the leagues he has played in before which are much slower if you go past a man in the Prem you should be looking to release the ball quickley not try and take on another 2 players.

Salah has had very little service and when he has he has been crowded out. Firminho has been invisible and when he has had the ball has messed up.

I think we are going to lose this one 3-2.
