West Ham v Manchester United - 23/12/23 12:30pm - Official Match Thread

playing it around quite nicely at the back, kambwala looks decent, very confident

then we have no idea how to construct an attack, beyond hopeful long balls

Antony doing Antony things.

We so often get the ball into promising positions wide but there's never anyone in the box.

antony has had an embarrassing couple of minutes (at least).

Yep that's where we seem to completely lose any idea.

Compare this playing out from the back to say Brentford last year, we are a different team

Rassers confidence is shot to pieces isn’t it

Hojlund has so much to learn about being a forward

willy willy willy huh
kambwala kambwala
he plays in defence
kambwala kambwala
and his futures immense

I liked Antony's pass to himself

Not really surprising, he was playing in the Austrian league at the start of last season. Was always going to be huge (and ridiculous ask) expecting him to be our main man this year.

We rush when we should slow down and ponder when we should hurry up

Shows his age sometimes. He’ll learn. All these little battles will do him good.

Atmosphere’s garbage.

Given the time some of my mates had to set off for this - I’m not surprised.

Hoijland desperately needs another striker to take the pressure off him. He's sinking and it's a shame as he has the potential.

wasn't impressed by his lack of effort to get on the end of it. he should have read it.

we are going to get hit down the wings as players keep having to cover midfield.

Of course, when he could maybe do with a rest, Martial is nowhere to be seen.

he's waiting for a better ball, for sure.

Tbf he created the space coming inside but wasn't quick enough to run back and pick up the pass.

A new interpretation of passing into space
