Typical West Ham. Show up when no one cares.
Part of me hoped they get pasted so Bilic finally sees the sack. Now they beat Palace and the countdown clock starts all over again? Stupid. God I hate our board.
I'm sure lots of people care. They're not winning any leagues anytime soon. This Cup is the biggest chance of a trophy.
Also, winning vs Spurs away is never bad - and Spurs fielded a pretty strong side as well.
...
Anyway, I thought Bilic was out of ideas, but the players are obviously still behind him according to Noble's post-game statements.
He played a 3-5-2, with Ayew and Carroll more central and feeding off each other and it worked really well in the 2nd half.
It does help that Ayew finally looked like a player they paid all that money for, that the midfield had Noble and Fernandes (one slow, one still inexperienced, but at least they can pass) and Kouyate goes from a tactically inept, awful passer in the midfield, to really a quite good CB.
Bilic has some tough choices for Saturday's game.
I imagine Ayew won a spot over Arnautovic, Zabaleta, Antonio, Reid and Chicharito are all coming back in.
It'll be interesting to see if he sticks with Noble and leaves Kouyate at CB.
