I agree.
We have a shitload of young players to develop who could play with these & they would all be 50% more likely to make it if Pep was here.

Is it just me that reckons Andy Carroll should have been sent off for deliberately smashing into Fernandinho's back? Obviously meant it and there was no other reason than to hurt him, can't see any difference between that and deliberately kicking someone which is always a red.
Well it's certainly a great moment for us. Kids that looked a bit rusty at the start of the season coming into their own and giving us glimpses of the future, to a really strong bench thanks to a fully fit squad.
I thought West ham were poor, absolutely, and our weakness is certainly when we are pressed between the lines, but we had so much to offer in terms of a front 5 tonight they didn't know whether to press or defend. They ended up doing neither and that's a great problem for us to have because it's made how teams set up against us that little bit harder. Jesus has given us such a lift, and such quality and has really helped both Sterling and Sane. His arrival has given us the answer to we how we attack.
Of course that leaves a problem, because using Aguero means changing a system that has worked brilliantly for 2 games and that had a snippet against Spurs. He's got to bring his a game here, because there are literally new kids on the block.
Consistency is an issue for us, and defensively we have one or two problems still, but I can't help feel we are a couple of full backs and centre back away from being sorted.
The league is gone, champions league qualification is now the carrot, but fuck me sideways, I am really looking forward to next season.

It was a violent challenge and should have seen at least a yellow card but then again, Friend had decided very early on that West Ham could kick us to fuck so wasnt that surprised when it went ignored.
Did you see the challenge on Raheem?
Not even a foul apparently pmsl.

Funny how West Ham always crap against us! Nothing we're doing to cause that eh media?
Love Jesus and Sane and we should be able to praise them without it being at Sergio's expense. He's still the king.

Well they didn't get yellows for deliberately kicking people so...

Absolutely! Proper technical coaching, rather than push ups for hours on end. Those rondo videos are great to watch, that's what these lads need to be doing
They got away with a few tonight. That tackle on sterling from creswell was shocking. I noticed we got a couple of yellows for little taps from behind, and they got away with at least 5

Chuffed to bits. Is this it?
Considering we was robbed by the chavs n spuds refs, among others, it should be at most 5 points away from the top.
