3 important points, nice little boost to the GD. Seemingly no injuries and Joelinton & Isak got a fairly early rest. Besides the 2nd half being a complete snooze fest I can't really complain about anything. We'll need to step up a few gears if we want anything from our next 3 games though.

Osula done in 2 minutes what Isak failed to do for 70. Pressing and winning the ball.

Can't be that bad with Isak since he's still on. Don't understand the point in risking him when we're 3-0 against a team that doesn't want to be on the pitch though.

Changes, rest, rotation, new energy please Howe

Oof, toxic atmosphere now. If we get a goal quickly this could turn into a 0-9'ish pasting.

Leicester defence needs to be publicly executed and replaced during half time. They're not even trying.

Feel a bit sad for the Leicester crowd. Not one person not looking absolutely miserable

He was here for such a short time I had honestly forgotten how good he was that half of a season. Probably the best of his career looking at his stats, so fair enough. Mitrovic is a great shout. I'll change to him instead

The premise of the question is who would flourish, so I don't think its right to choose people who did so despite playing for us in the Ashley area. Enrique, Jonas, Sissoko, Ayoze, Carroll and Cabaye did flourish for us, and bar Jonas all got big moves away from us due to how well they played. So far I think Townsend is the best shout.

We need to get to top 5 first before its ours to lose surely?

Aye, it's harder to score goals in Serie A than Premier League, so I guess West Ham got a bargain actually.

Can see a good portion of their fanbase turning on Nuno next season due to this, when they have shown how good they can play when chasing a lead like today and against us. "Why don't we start games like this."

They had a Jhon Duran to sell for silly money to fund their January spree. If we were to sell someone similar to fund a squad build, it would have to a first team player effectively trading first team quality for squad quality. It might be a good idea, might not. I'll trust the decision makers to do what's best for us.

Wasn't that just due to one type of socks last season that were particularly tight/uncomfortable to the players?

Scamacca also had success after West Ham, leading the line in an Atalanta team that won the Europa League, scoring 19 goals in 44 games last saeson, which indicates he was easily worth that sort of fee West Ham paid. He just wasn't suited for a Moyes plagued West Ham.

Yates 1 on 1 defending

I have no problem accepting Chelseas women's team even being worth more than the hunk of beaten down shit PIF/PCP/RB bought in 2021.

Is it? I just read it as a nice way of saying he won't be starting games anymore bar a minor injury crisis. Think Howe is perfectly happy having Sean in the squad. I think Sean might be content with that too.

Thought Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento, Joelinton, Barnes & Tonali all played decent. Pope was decent bar his one very costly mistake. Isak & Murphy were dissapointing bar their goal. Wilson looked lighter on the feet than Isak ffs Bruno looked like hes been living on kinder eggs since the cup final. Think it's a positive sign that we can churn out 3 points despite our 2 key players not performing.

Has he really had a chance to show if he has what it takes? Apart from the two mentioned games, which suggests he might be able to perform against better teams, I can't remember him getting anything but a few minutes at the end of games where he's just been able to chase lost causes alone up top when opposition team is controlling the game.

Little Trips beating far taller wingers in the air -every- -single- -time- will never not be funny.

of course he did. Amazing goal.

wow!!

Was that Ron Jeremy in the crowd?
