Nketiah you bastard.

I'm not sure why you think strikers shouldn't have to play football.

They should, they just shouldn't have to come below the halfway line in search of the ball when we attack. Fucking hell this has been an atrocious half from our central midfield.

I do not think Ozil plays badly, but I think he is told to drift to the right a lot and it simply doesn't work.
All West Ham is doing, is they put 3/4 players between Dani and the rest of attacking players and it effectively kills our build up.

Klaus

It's been another shit first half under Arteta so far. The League Two class of Michail Antonio has been our only saving grace. Nelson on at half time if this continues.

Big Willie

Ozil needs to stop drifting to the right. Pepe doesn't give him the ball and just uses him as a decoy.

jones

Jesus fucking christ Antonio 😆

Yeah have to say, not liking our play under Arteta. Our build-up is too slow and cumbersome and we seem to either only want to pass it backwards or cross it in from wide.

Coombs

Very stupid Nketiah.

Which Özil is a part of. He doesn't score like a forward yet you give him a pass for adding nothing to the build up

This is all moot. Only reason we have time to discuss who's been more shit is because this Arsenal and Mark fucking Noble wont score in five hours or game play

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Nice from Ozil

Antonio again, what a bad player

Even Özils mother wouldn't say he's been decent. Everyone's been poor but our supposed main creative hub has done absolutely nothing but poorly timed layoffs.

Pepe has been piss poor too but at least he's trying.

We have to remember to send him flowers if West Ham don't win this game.

swider

What I would like to see in the second half is Gabi in for Eddie and Ozil playing much deeper, so we can actually move the ball forward.

flobaba

Why is that not a penalty?

Meatwad

antonio's shithousery would fit right in with our attackers.

jones

Antonio is decent enough when you give him strict instructions. Decent right back at times. Moyes uses him as a central forward next to Haller who himself is a supporting striker

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

This prick was never going to us a penalty. Bet it hurt him to give Fornals a yellow even.

Big Willie

Pepe gets the ball, Ozil overlap, Pepe ignores Ozil. Rinse and repeat.

MistaT

Saka's influence growing near the end of the half. But he's looking for the near post, where we're missing an attacker. Not sure if it's supposed to be Auba's run or if Nketiah is holding too central.
