GWT: PL Matchweek 31 (part 1)
- Thread starter Savant
- Start date
What a garbage West Ham performance. Pellegrini has generally done a good job remaking this team and how they play, but there's just no excuse for the lethargy of the last few weeks. I know it propped up around the window with all the Arnautovic stuff, but he really needs to sort it out. Defensively, that was one of the most embarrassing displays they could have had. Three against Huddersfield, really?
That said, there is a ton of dead weight on this team. Antonio and Ogbonna, in particular, are just trash.

I'll take it. 4-3 come back win, doesn't matter who the opposition is, I was hyped when it was over.
Antonio has the same problem as he had with Bilic - he's a great athlete, strong and fast and good in the air - he just can't play football.
He's fine purely as a utility option. What exacerbates the problem isn't that he can't play football (as you say, he has useful qualities), it's that he thinks he can. I've lost count of how many possessions he squanders firing 25 yards over the crossbar.
Starting to more and more think Firmino might not cut it. Fantastic when he don't have the ball but with the ball there is much room for improvements. Super frustrating. Definitely need someone that can challenge him atleast in the summer. He does so many things well but when he's trying to distribute the ball the quality tend to be very low.

Salah could really use a goal next half. His confidence on the ball seems fleeting at this moment.

Stay strong Appie! ❤
The wind and rain affected the trajectory of the ball which led to the goal.
