Suspect we will see Barkley and Zappacosta before this one is finished. 

Just have a look at the space Willian can run into behind West Hams defence every time Hazard has the ball on his side. He did finally do it when Kante got that big chance to head the goal in at the end of the half, but could have done it countless times before that.

Kante looks much more ineffective in this current position. Noticed this for a few games now.

All a bit slow and predictable, each player taking too many touches on the ball. West Ham will tire as the game goes on and someone will lose concentration, we have to make sure we take that chance when it arrives.

Kante has been passing poorly. 

Players first touch in the last third has been appalling, Azpi has had a few opportunities to service Giroud but has struggled with his delivery.

Kante is great when we don't have the ball, the issue is we have the ball all the time and he is a liability on offense. He offers nothing in an attacking sense especially when teams park the bus. I would suggest we bring on Barkley or bring on Moses for the wing and push willian back into midfield.

Predictable first half we started well but didnt really create anything , they look the more dangerous on the counter attack 

the best chances have fallen to Kante with his head . 

need to up the tempo second half or i fear a 0-0 /1-0 defeat

He puts ton of pressure to opponents and has helped to recover the loose balls so he is trying, Willian and Hazard have been much less inspired today and Giroud is the same old player that can't score like never...

Was Barca after him as well ?

Barca signed vermaelen, Andre Gomes etc. Just because they looked at you, doesn’t make every performance you have good. Barca also decided he wasn’t worth bidding more money for. 

Missing Pedro and his ambidexterity. Willian keeps stopping and passing back because if he can't beat his man, he struggles as doesn't have a left foot.

Getting the opposition defence facing their own goal should be the end target of each phase of possession. That means getting close to that touchline all the time, or at least every 2-3 phases. A lot of our goals come this way, WHU have basically 5 at the back making them wider and it a little harder to get behind, we should limit our center field forays and give the back three a problem by facing the sideline or their own goal, as long as they have the ball in front of them we will struggle.

 

Hazard has been poor today 

Jorginho has been sloppy so far today.

All the signs we lose or draw. 

Willian has been the worst player on the pitch for me. 

Yeah these f**kers are up for it.......they know any result will get their season going.

It's not just one or two players, it's all of them. It's a team problem more than an individual one today.

Need to score first otherwise it will be an uphill struggle 

Our system demands near perfect passing. Today it is something else. 

Two players foul Rudiger in the box and the ref gives the foul to West Ham? Did I miss something there

How does Mike Dean work out that Rudiger was fouling there? He was the one being pulled to the ground.

Fcuk the refs!! Seriously??? Where's the foul here ????

In the World Cup that would have been a penalty. 

We are in trouble here.
