So much joy down West Ham's left side

Making loads of chances

Should of been up by more imo

TBF, I hated it in 1999

Haaland has not touched the ball enough this half for me.

 

[Haaland94]

And Dias scored an own goal and Gvardiol nearly gave them the opener.

Every defender is going to get beaten at some point.

It doesn’t mean Dias or Gvardiol can’t defend well, and it doesn’t mean Lewis can’t defend well.

Gvardiol saved us in the 2nd minute after Kudus went past Lewis and crossed.

Dias and Gvardiol are much better defenders than Rico, this isn't a controversial opinion. Rico has his own strengths, of course.

I think finishing is more a mental attribute than anything and those tend to improve with experience for intelligent players.

Kev would be a great example.

True, but Lewis is finding himself in the spaces in which typically Foden finds himself, beyond the last man and with a split second to react. David Silva was quite similar for us, great at getting there but inexplicably never able to convert in the way he did for Spain. Let’s hope he nets soon as his attacking play deserves it.

And so close to being 2-2 there, we are too wasteful at times as like a few games last season v Dippers, Spurs at home we were so on top, missed plenty and ended up dropping points and sadly retained the set piece coach from last year

The fact we kept the set piece coach was terrible. We don't even look a threat from set pieces unless someone takes a shot from outside the box.

Really good first half. We could've been up way more. Fluke OG. Everyone's been on it. Really impressive first half from Jack.

He has played well but we know and more importantly he knows he's not going to hit the target.

 

[pudge]

he really hasnt saved plenty and the stats show it

Why is Ederson getting the pelters for the goal when Ruben had fuck all need to stick his knee at it 6 yards out.

Maguire levels of defence from him.

So pep will be mad about their goal according to the sky twat, they still dont get pep , he wont be mad about an own goal, it happens to defenders
