I’m going to give West Ham a bit of credit- they defended really well and worked hard to close any space. They also took their chances well on the break and if not for sels would have been 5 or 6.
We had one chance of note - woody with a tame header when he had more time than he realised.
MGW had a mare - I would ban him from using the outside of his foot for the next game!
What was unforgivable was the refusal to change things up from 60 minutes - mcatee came on and did have some kind of impact but then the rest of the players stopped giving him the ball - he is great in tight spaces but players weren’t confident in giving him the ball.
We’ve seen before when we force it we get ripped open.
I really can’t see why Doulas Luiz dot even Yates didn’t come on for Sangare. For me he is terrible - he can pass but is so slow and ponderous on the ball and can’t press.
Ndoye actually had a decent game I thought - needs to toughen up a bit.
Paquetta was very good today and so too Bowen.
