He has always had the concentration issue though, I can clearly remember a game under Tuchel when Azpi was playing as a RCB, and he didn’t bother doing any defensive work. Azpi kept on screaming at Tuchel that there was too much space getting exploited behind him. Personally don’t think he is world class, but what do I know.

I also don't think he is world class yet, I think that word is thrown around too often. He's got everything in his locker to be world class when it comes to his technical ability, he just needs to work on the mental side of the game. When he is on it, he's often the best player on the pitch, but too often it's like he takes a day off. He's one of the best crossers of the ball in the game, I don't expect to see him bail out of taking the opportunity when it presents itself. Many times he gets into that position that Azpi used to get into to cross to Morata, but James never plays the cross. He just takes the safe option and plays it backwards. He needs to stop that, he's in the advanced position, make use of it. Even if he's not playing the cross, he should use his strength and power his way through.

My stream is a bit jumpy so may have missed them but how many bookings are West Ham on?

Cucurella only play the ball back , 

That is where I want Reece to get the ball

Havertz and Cucrella are disappointing. Havertz especially has been crap for so long. 

Reece James still not over that injury by the looks of it. Struggling  to find form

Actually thought Havertz had been quite good so far today

We’re going to lose this if we’re not careful. 

Potter just doesn't know how to make this work

Those useless f**kers are bound to beat us.  I feel sick

The Cucurella thing - think he only plays it back as is that low on confidence. Shame, as others pointed out this is preventing Mudryk from being more in the game. 

I'm really not getting that corner routine of putting both Felix and Madueke on the ball as Felix is the one always crossing and Madueke is tall enough to be a threat on the air, should be in the box. 

West ham just hoping to scrape the win. 

smile you f**king dirty c**t

finally a yellow

About f**king time.

maybe the 5th time they do it there will be an amazing variation

Cucurella is as adventurous and creative with his passing as Jorginho. Mudryk myst be so frustrated.

or it's because it forces the goalkeeper to stay a little back

Nearly snuck in.

Need some changes I think. Madueke for Mount

It's funny in a way. We signed all of these players that want to move forward quick, but we have Potter's possession based style working against them. Such a miss match.

It's about now we start getting knackered.

Havertz FFS !

Not impressed with Madueke, he's very lively, but he never looks in control.

Come on, it’s time for Mount to play
