Who's not in the squad today after playing in every game so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Not terrible bit the sort of half you should be coming out of all square. I'd be moving Anderson to midfield in place of Tonali and bringing Wilson on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even similar looking players. He though Lascelles was Isak and I think he thought Almiron was Tonali. That one was so egregious I thought I'd imagined it when he didn't even have the balls to correct himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally I prefer a manager like that who is commited to his Plan A philosophy and imposing it on the opposition, but he takes it to the extremes. We barely ever even make minor adjustments. Did switch to 4-2-3-1 quite a few times last season, tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think we have much of a plan B or C when things like this happen thats something Howe needs to work on especially with squad depth and rotation. All the best coaches have the ability to switch systems if one is totally ineffective against the opposition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubteam Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Hopefully we introduce Wilson in the second half early. Our attack has no focal point with Isak being out wide so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Really insipid half from both teams really and were it not for Pope's latest wandering calamity we'd be level. I'd hook Tonali for Wilson, move Anderson inside, Isak wide left. If we can rescue a point from this I'd be more than delighted but I wonder if our fitness levels might come into play later on and allow us to nick it if we can level before the latter stages.

Yeah we've got around their box a few times with ease but then drawn blank, Isak skipping down the left got to the left side of the box and no one in support, ended up having to turn back on himself 3 or 4 times to try and keep the ball. They will and have left gaps when they commit to the counter but without Gordon we've had no outlet and our slow recovery has given them far too much time to reset the block. Wondering if Murphy might be the better idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Feel we've looked entirely toothless despite having a lot of the ball. Folk underestimate West Ham though. They're probably the best 'smash and grab' team in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Wilson for Anderson, Murphy for Miggy. We can win this. Remember Brentford last season? Could even bring Longstaff out and play Isak number 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astraguy Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 we are missing someone holding the ball up for Isak,he shouldn't need to be coming back on the left it was like it all last season and this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilted Generator Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 The stats look very favourable to us in the first half albeit we were very lethargic going forward. Definitely need Wilson up top at the expense of either Anderson or Tonali. West Ham have had one solitary shot all game from the Lascelles/Pope error and lead.
