    Personally I've got no issue with Rice. I wished he hadn't left, but he played great while he was here so I bear him no ill will. Obviously I truly hope he never has any success against us.

    I’ve got no real issue with him either, him leaving let us rebuild and - imo - improve. But he left for Arsenal and if people want to boo him for that I’m alright with it.

    Kudus is really good at tracking back and winning the ball, as well as finishing!

    Energy levels have been so high tonight. Snapping into tackles, closing down, pressing.

    If Rav was here he’d be calling him a #Baller

    Alvarez keeps trying to leave one on Rice and I have a lot of time for that.

    How was that not a foul on Benrahma? White grabbed him and threw him to the ground.

    JWP on for Benrahma who's been fairly anonymous imo.

    Funny I saw that and thought why did Benrahma throw himself to the ground

    I really didn't see this coming.

    Although there's still 30 mins for us to spurs it up.

    I never underestimate our ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I'm still nervous.

    Bowen up front has worked really well.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    I don’t underestimate it as I’ve seen it far too often I know we’re really capable of it.

    Our whole back line has been seriously impressive tonight along with Kudus and Bowen
  • alderzalderz
    Definitely. Bowen and Kudus in the same team gives us a lot of pace and creativity. I’d like to see it more going forward.

    For sure, a good few of us have been calling for it at the expense of Antonio.
  • alderzalderz
    My reservation has always been that neither are strikers and I wasn’t sure how or if it would work. Now I see it I’m in favour.
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    I know it's only one game, a cup game, against an understrength Arsenal, but we have looked a better attacking team without Antonio and with Paqueta in the middle rather than stuck out on the left.
  • alderzalderz
    I don’t mind Paqueta on the left if it means we have Soucek, Alvarez and JWP in the side, personally.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Knew we’d not keep the clean sheet
  • ScotHammerScotHammer
    Why when a sky6 team lose it is because they played badly, not because the opposition stopped them playing? Rhetorical question really.

    3-1 West Ham, I didn’t see that coming. ⚒

    Literally with the last kick of the game.
  • MIAHammerMIAHammer
    Shame we weren't able to keep a clean sheet but what a result for us!
  • LukerzLukerz
    It’s funny as when I saw the sides I expected us to win.

    Soucek has got a few goals this season so I agree, but when he's not scoring he is a bit of a passenger IMO.

    But yeah, even if you put Paq in the middle instead of Soucek, it means Benrahma on the left and he's not delivering anything at the moment.

    Excellent second half and deserved to win on that showing. Kudus was superb. Only if other players could show the same urgency. Now let us take this form to the next game
  • SlackerSlacker
    Much, much better performance. Some really good displays by our boys, Kudus, Alvarez Paquatah in particular.
    One question though, did Benrhama actually touch the ball? I really forgot he was on the pitch.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Arsenal had 72% possession, according to the match stats.

    It really didn't feel like that while I was watching it.
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    Great team performance with quite a few tonight that could claim MOTM IMO…. I think Kudus might get that, although I’m thinking of someone else…….
    Well played West Ham ⚒️⚒️⚒️
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    I do think we play well against the so called better teams at the moment.
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    But I would like Port Vale at home next round
  • MIAHammerMIAHammer
    I might be in the minority but to be honest I wasn't that impressed with Paqueta's performance tonight. Seemed to gave away the ball quite a lot and was showboating a couple of times.
    He and Alvarez will be missed in the next game though.
