I'd prefer the people who should get on the end of them to learn


Pep must have told Nico O to hold back his runs in the box more this game after Everton. Because there was a month or so when he was regularly getting goals from late runs in the box in that exact area

Good shout. Possibly because Khus was injured and Guèhi and Ake aren't the quickest against the counter.

As lovely and important as Doku’s goal was I think Marmoush’s was a beauty, a real team goal, quick simple passing and a great finish. More of that please boys.

Answer is that we don't have a striker that wants to get into the 6 yard box to score, unfortunately

Doku rightly MOTM again - but how good was Ake, doesn't get many minutes but just like the Carabao final didn't put a foot wrong. Foden after an improved performance at Everton looked really good when he came on.
On the way back last night I' m listening to how they shiuld have had 2 pens and Bernardo should have been sent off. Watched MOTD, every decision was right. Nunes won the ball 1st time, the guy tripped over him 2nd and Bernardo slapped his shin. Nunes grear again btw.
Come on West Ham

Exactly - I was not slating Doku; I was getting annoyed at Haaland for not being in the spot that every man and his dog knew where Doku was going to put the ball and in Dokus defense, I think due to the positioning of the defender, he had no other real option but to put the ball into the space that he did put it in.

Second half Nunes was class. First half he wasnt great. Like I said, he's always at the front of the queue when it kicks off, backing up teammates. He's alright by me

Correct, we don’t want to see those fast devastating runs between lines causing havoc in defences, you stay back Nico where you can’t cause such mayhem & for heaven’s sake no shooting, Vinny was told about shooting & look what happened :lol:

Hate to break it to you but we've scored more goals from out the box than every other team in the Prem this season

Dear me Stupot it was meant to be ironic or tongue in cheek if you will.
