Oh there have. The Pervis one being the biggest offender. He had to literally break stride to turn his body sideways which cause him to slip. That should’ve been a really good chance, but it was fluffed so badly it wouldn’t even appear on extended highlights.
He’s being marked by Perv, mind.
Yep confidence is building having been non existent for the first few minutes
But if we're going to give it away at the end of the attack anyway, we may as well have a shot and see if it deflects in or bounces off someone kindly. There was the moment when Mitoma pulled it back to Weiffer which he could have whacked goalwards. and others.
Absolutely this, in line with what I was chatting about with Swansman earlier. He’s playing the ten in actions when he’s meant to be the nine for the team.
99 goals so far.
Yep
We need someone to lead the line, Enciso ain’t it. Ferguson if anyone
We’ll have to fold it in instead 2nd half.
Weiffer should have taken the shot but passed to Gruda whose poor control stalled the attack. Frustrating.
When both him and Rutter want to drop and recieve the ball to feet in the pockets it’s so easy for West Ham’s back line just to step up 10 yards and make it more compact which forces us backwards. They’re also easier to pick up because the defenders don’t have to debate staying with one to mark the other as they’re both in the same space. Honestly I’d bring Ferguson on as a focal point
I would hope “go out and play, be a star” would be the message from the gaffer.
