I was just thinking the same. Big Dan just doesn't like passing forward. 

West Ham blocking every passing lane until Dan and Soyuncu are high enough up the pitch, then they go for the ball. 

[Vacamion]

 

If they sit off and block midfield I'd like to see us either pump it long or let Cags charge upfield and Wilf drop in.

 

 

[turlo]

they are pressing our full backs and letting Big Dan have the ball with no outlet ;(

[Legend_in_blue]

West Ham playing defensive and waiting for a mistake on the counter.  Unsurprising.

No, you are the Messiah. I would know, I've followed a few.

They’re talking about Antonio like he’s Drogba / Lukaku. 
 

He’s decent like but he’s hardly an elite centre forward. 

Mate tell me about it. All I’ve read about today and yesterday is him

[Brainy]

We have to make this pressure count

[StanSP]

Short pass masterclass here 

[Guest Mee-9]

Smart game plan here by West Ham. Give Leicester the ball and let them piss around with it, the counter and win 3-0. 

[lgfualol]

Lol nobody ahead of Amartey and Soyuncu moving at all. Why are our players so scared of the ball

[whoareyaaa]

Looks like we are just going to pass it round the back line great

[Guest StevieLynex]

Benrahma trying to confuse us by looking like Mahrez

[TJB-fox]

I’ve just seen ricardo beat Antonio to two headers back to back 

[Matt]

Are we just gonna play one twos along our back line all night?

[when_you're_smiling]

Yes. 90 mins of watching Soy and Amartey passing to each. Let’s bore them to tears!

[Swarles Barkley]

Real end to end stuff this

[FoxesWalk]

Interesting, Maddison to LW to allow Thomas to form a three to solve that problem. Nice from Brendan. 

[Vacamion]

 

If the Hammers stay 30m away, Cags should just sit on the ball on the edge of our box and fold his arms and whistle.

[FerrisBueller]

Sooner or later they will press big Dan and he will shite himsen. Need to find a way forward.

[StanSP]

I think they were playing it at the back doing nothing to give Stringer & Co time to get sorted. Very kind of them. 

[foxinsocks]

Maddison has clearly bern told to shift the ball.

Ayoze is asleep some place

[hejammy]

See Dan, you pass it forward and it gives Madders an opportunity to give the ball away..... 

[AjcW]

Who is the new head comms? Like him!
