West Ham vs Arsenal | Sunday, 2pm

Claudius

Rohit the Partey error was annoying but he plays like that all the time. He is a high risk player.

I expect games to ebb and flow. You rarely have 45 minutes of pure dominance. Hopefully we get back on top

Ricky1985

And that 6 role is not the place for a high risk player. Arteta has done a phenomenal job of helping Partey to become more efficient in his passing, but he still has too many giveaways and his passing accuracy is not where it should be to be considered perfect for the role.

Rodri may be less flashy and less dynamic, but he is more reliable and has better awareness. We should try to find a clone of him in the summer.

Mirth

Partey falling apart

Tactics

Think we should take off Partey at half time, wouldn't surprise me if he picked up another booking at this rate

Cannon

I hate this ref!

Burnwinter

Qwiss Yeah it's a bit ridiculous. Struggling to control matches. Still, this is West Ham not Liverpool.

IBL

Arteta needs to read our players the riot act to get a second half reaction

Claudius

These guys just need a half time bollocking.
West Ham should have some chances, but we are giving them too much territory

MistaT

mohan — I see it hitting Rice’s stomach square on first.

mohan

MistaT he used his hand to control the ball path. doesn't matter if it hits his stomach..

Don Pacifico

MistaT Yeah, not sure I'd classify it as a handball, let alone an intentional one.

Defensively we look chaotic (maybe because we have two reserves in our back four, which disrupts our organisation...?) but so controlled in attack. It's maddening!

On a side-note, the way Tierney has slotted in today shows why he should have had more minutes over the last month or so whilst Zinchenko has had a dip in form.

Coombs

What the hell is Saka up to?

Qwiss

Antonio is a huge problem

Gazza M

that handball is way more egregious than I first thought. fuck sake, how is such rank incompetence/corruption happening every week

Burnwinter

Gazza M It's comedy.

Ricky1985

Gazza M

Is there another angle that's making you feel so strongly? I see it hitting Rice's stomach in the angle that has been shown.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Unacceptable.

Cannon

I am still calm. Have seen too many wenger teams being nervous wrecks. I don't get that feeling from this team.

Rohit

West Ham played away in Europe on Thursday night. Honestly should be overrunning them in the 2nd half. It's all mental now.

Clrnc

Rohit They played all reserves. Rested almost everyone

Mirth

mohan yeah absolutely. Gabriel made enough contact to give away a pen but Rice clearly uses his hands to control the ball even if it bounced into his stomach too

awooga83

Great start but losing control of games now regularly which doesn't bode well for a title run in when we pretty much need to get results through to the end.

Need to be proactive in the second half and reassert ourselves.. We should have enough but I'm worried about the mentality whether we are starting to get rattled and fear having more of an impact

Claudius

We are fine. Saka is low energy again give us Trossard at some point. Rest is fine.

Don Pacifico

Claudius he's being triple-marked by WHU. Don't think that's fair. When we've focussed play down our left, it's really thrown them off, which opens up gaps for us to exploit.

GooneriC

We should have been out of sight , you have to legislate for bent referees nowadays. Need to kill the game dead next half.

Qwiss

Conceding the goal doesn't bother me, it happens, poor decision, etc What bothers me is that for the second week in a row conceding even though we are still ahead causes us to start panicking. All of a sudden we aren't composed on the ball, we can't pass out, we make panicky clearances straight back to them and we start giving away fouls. If this is the pressure getting to them then we are going to struggle. They need to figure it out quick.

If we don't come out in the second half the way we started the game I hope Arteta is much more pro-active with his subs than last week.

Pepe LeFrits

Qwiss If we don't come out in the second half the way we started the game I hope Arteta is much more pro-active with his subs than last week.

Agreed. Tross and George on quickly if we start the second half the way we finished the first.
