Doing what they do best along with Justin’s stop the ball and pass back. 

Soumare is just getting passed. I'd like to see Skipp instead.

 

Mav has to be considered for Kasey too.

 

Edit: after that cross, I can only assume the plan is to get Stephy frothing at the mouth before bringing him on

SKIPP FOR SOUMARE NOW PLZ

[Samilktray]

I was going to ask how Soumare is sweating so much from a couple of random jogs, but then I remembered the sweaty mess I become when using a can opener on spaghetti hoops with little sausages so fair enough. 

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

We lack any physicality.

Get Buonanotte off. He’s lost the ball 6 times already

I’ve just said the same thing. 

[JimJams]

And Bilal has barely fxxking featured this season. Unreal.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Get that tit off at half time before he gets a second yellow

[don_danbury]

send soumare to league 13 pls where he belongs

[eastendfox]

Back 4 and Vardy look OK, midfield has no grip at all. Hard to see them not scoring. 

[W7Fox]

Midfield offering next to nothing. Being player through with ease and then cannot progress the ball in possession.

Can't go through the back of a player like that

 

Note to self: wait for the replay before posting

Feels like a matter of time here. We really do lack quality 

[Richmondfox]

Bin off Soumare and Justin. 

[ACF]

BEK and Facundo need to help out creating an outlet for the defence. Need to pull the West Ham midfield around more when we’re on the ball.

[FoxesBraun]

Actually been quite solid defensively. In possession build up is far too slow, Soumare playing walking football again.

[Tielemans63]

Get Bouba off at HT for Skippo.

[Iwebema]

So far it's a different approach in the build up, much more patient, similar vibes to enzo but having soumare and ndidi as a pair is not ideal to play it, neither is very comfortable receiving the ball in tight spaces which is making it difficult but we certainly look more like we belong than we have in previous games.  

 

[Tielemans63]

What a pass from Kasey

 

Fvck me

[Spence]

Clear to see that West Ham are a better team than us in terms of quality. Will be huge to go in at the break 1-0 up... i'd 100% take a point if offered now. 

 

We are showing grit !

I do like Wan Bissaka, proper defender 

[The Doctor]

poor ball by Kasey Mac tbh. Facundo did well to get a throw but that should have been more.

We're playing two sixes and they're anonymous.

 

Sad to see Ndidi, he used to be a destroyer

[shen]

Squeaky bum stuff and we're only 24 minutes in 

[HitchinFox]

McAteer needs to come off at HT. 

 

Poor defensively as well as with the ball. 

[ARM1968]

Think the moaning is fairly pointless now. We all know we’re shit. Most knew it towards the end of last season. 
 

We’ve got a new manager with some

promise and a couple of half decent players. Ruud needs some

miracles and some backing in January. 
 

For now I’m just going to grit my teeth and hope for the best. Failing that I’ll just shit myself.
