West Ham Vs Arsenal

No chance we win this. Moyes masterclass incoming.


Also heard Wilshere had a heated argument with Sanchez in training. Good.

Decent enough team.

Kinda exciting even

Wilshere

We changed formation?

Also, is this the first PL start for JW10 2.0?

Yes to both. We've ended our last two games playing with a back four and don't have Ramsey to justify the extra centre back anymore.

It's a strange team, though. Monreal is at centre back and Maitland-Niles at left back when Chambers is on the bench. Holding isn't in the squad at all. No Lacazette even though he's played 90 minutes twice all season.

I thought Kolasinac was supp to be having a great season. Was curious to see him on the bench instead of AMN.

Is Ramsey also injured?

Kola's being rested, I suspect. Ramsey did his hammy against Southampton. Out for two-three weeks which naturally means he misses six games.

Alrighty. Thanks, Jay!

This is one boring game...

Garbage half of football from both sides. West Ham aren't leaving their third, and we're just passing into the block instead of trying to move it about. There's no real plan of attack out there.

I don't even know what we are trying to do here

We deserved to lose that. Pathetic display...

not finishing top 4 with this below average away record!

Hang on, let me open up my doc of stock phrases I can use to describe this performance...

The second half was better, in that there was much more movement and we looked a decent threat. But it still wasn't enough. I don't know why but away from home the cohesion in the attack has just vanished.

I lost count of the number of times we made an angle for a through pass but Giroud refused to run off the back of a defender. Alexis just didn't want to make any runs in behind so the penetration had to come from Wilshere and occasional Ozil when he wasn't dictating play. Iwobi = bang average. Nice dribbler but that's it. Welbeck spent his time on the pitch running into players.

I'll say it: there's no quality in attack at the moment. Alexis has no form, Welbeck/Iwobi aren't good enough, Giroud is limited. Lacazette has been our sole good attacker this season feeding off scraps given to him by the rest.

If Ozil and Alexis are on form we'll score because they're quality. When they're not it really exposes the lack of depth in attack.
