Wtf is Sancho doing?

We've switched off 

Sanchos having a tough game. Time for Neto!!

In all seriousness we need some control again 

We need to keep possession for a bit.

West ham are waking up.

 

we need to be careful here 

Lucky again

Comfortably offside

We are not far off from conceding now. 

Clearly offside.

We need to get going again looks like we think this game's done

Starting to get really sloppy now. Even with the 2 goal lead, you can see how much we are struggling to get the ball out of the defence. This is something I have noticed a lot under Maresca. Too much of the ball is played in our own half, we don't get the attackers involved enough.

Quite surprised that wasn't given against us. I do not think it *should* be a penalty, but usually they're given.

Lost our grip of the game.

Everyone got carried away by his sub appearance. Way too early IMO to be starting him. Still not convinced 

Never a pen, give over.

Just letting them back into the game at the mo, Palmer quiet as well.

The commentators never giving us any credit either, typical.

Dodged a bullet with that non-penalty call.

Right that’s it take Jackson off his shootings gone back to sh*t.

I didn’t see that as a penalty. Contact and a pull, yes; but minor. And how does someone fall forward when being pulled back? Looking for it. Right call for me.

Madueke too, although I think that is mostly because we are doing all of our attacking down the left. As a rule of thumb I would always target the side which has Emerson on it.

Something doesn't look right with Enzo, like he is running the final mile of a marathon.

Come on Jackson, anyone could see that defender was going inside there, had acres of space on your left. 

Soucek is 100% scoring from a set piece.

I agree that the attacker oversold it, but I feel there was enough obstruction from Fofana for a pen. I think I'd be very angry if it was us in this position.

Weird game this and I am afraid it will get more weird as we go on. West Ham has top quality but don't know how to play under Lopetegui yet. We have less ball than we want to and we've been clinical. Weird game.

Good effort from Noni.

Love a pissed-off first half sub
