A great win in an important match, how many times have we bottled these types of games. My observations:
1. We are taking more risks with our passing, we often played the more difficult ball that would get higher reward than the safe ball. Also the speed of our passing was better but still needs to improve. Similarly the accuracy of our passing needs to improve, we still played our way into trouble with sloppy passes.
2. For the first time for ages we sustained pressure, both in the first and second half we had periods where we kept them under pressure winning 2nd balls.
3. Hwang and Semedo had their best games for me. Semedo needs to be a little bit more confident, a couple of times he had space in front of him but was looking for the pass.
4. Our subs were well timed
5. Our forward play is improving, I thought Cunha led the line well but he also looks he will make a good second striker.
6. RAN will become a left midfielder or wide forward. Needs to be more confident shooting.
7. West Ham are very physical, typical Moyes, and we’re helped by the ref massively. Without Rice they would be down but he is a poor man’s Ruben Neves. Plays the same role but has none of the great man’s skills.
Survive this season and I think we will return to challenging for Europe and also in the cups.
