Overriding feeling right now? Danny Simpson is the best right back in the world.

 

Thought he did alright as it happens. Rose-tinted specs because Perch is awful but apart from clearly being unfit (he's quicker than this) he played reasonably well IMO.

 

The Perch factor is the whole reason that I now heart Simpson. DS is a mediocre RB, but today he looked streets ahead of JP.

Krul- 6- Had little to do although coped well with crosses.

Simpson-6- A decent return and a step up from Perch.

Williamson-7- No real problems.

Colo- 7- Playing with confidence at the moment

Enrique- 7- Excellent in the second half, could have done more for Cole's goal.

Barton-8 Two good assists and came into the game more and more as it went on.

Nolan- 6- Good finish, not much else. Typical showing really.

Tiote- 8- Completely shut WHU down in the second half.

Jonas- 7- Lots of running and a good outlet in second 45.

Ameobi- 6- No real chances I can recall and a few classis Sho-stopping moments.

Carroll-7 Much better today and a nice header, although couldnt really miss.

That was brilliant after we went behind 59% possession away from home doesn't happen too often, I don't think we made a mistake all game.  The short passing was as good as we've seen this season and we pressed them anytime they had the ball, Tiote was massive in midfield and he didn't let them settle.  I didn't expect that performance or that result, it's a huge bonus for our chances of stying up as we've stuck them at the bottom of the table.

For all that I've criticised Barton this past couple of weeks, that cross for the second goal was one of the best crosses I think I've ever seen. The fucking dip in it was absolutely spot on.

Full marks to CH - made adjustments and the second half was the most one sided half of football I have seen for a long time - West ham were trounced and its easy to say they are crap without giving us the correct amount of praise

 

indeed. totally sorted out the right hand side problem - dont recall noticing obinna 2nd half, while 1st half he almost single handidly ripped us open. great job to react to that. the one goal difference 2nd half flattered west ham if anything ,truly horrible.

Don't know, though we didn't have any real problems in the 2nd half from West Ham I don't think we did too well in attack from our right hand side, though Barton did a bit of attacking in the final 3rd on the right. Did anyone else notice Simpson made an interception halfway into West Ham's own half?

Krul's best game yet for me. No 'saves' to make, but that's the easy part of keeping. His judgement and handling were absolutely spot-on.

 

You think so?  I thought he was pretty crap.  Almost bobbled both crosses that he got to and at one point was in no man's land.  Pretty bad judgment overall but all of that can only get better with experience so I'm not too worried.

A couple of the high balls he claimed, there is no way in the world he would have come for them in August, he's learning.

Thought he was quite composed. Came out for quite a few balls today and collected them all. He didn't even do the nervous hopeful punch thing that many keepers favour.
