Obefami actualy looks to have settled into the first team very quickly. I think Ralph has a high regard for him now. Once back he could figure quite prominently.

Yes both Cedric and Stephens ! It is something our team do rather a lot. Not sure it’s acceptable. In fact it’s not acceptable...

Without doubt ! There was very little sign of it. Ok I only watched from 30mins where there was none from the front.

Well I didn’t see pressing from the front hardly at all. Still it’s a very young team ....

A pedantic observation.

Wanyama is a super player and so much better than Romeu, however I doubt Centre Mid is high on our priority list. Shame he would be wasted at WBA....

The problem is though that we have not enough support for the man on the ball. This is the main reason we continue to lose procession. The likes of City crowd round the ball when out of pocession and also in procession too.

totally sensible comment,

I wasn’t impressed with Dave going on and on about Ralph not playing his strongest players today. Very disingenuous to Ralph who has a completely knackered squad does he not see such obvious matters!! Urgggghhh

Well done the Manager today. The guys were busted against West Ham and many needed a rest. He has a very poor squad to pick from, however he is working very hard to do the best he can with this bunch of players.

Very good post indeed, good team and structured thinking based on carefully watching the games and not just the ball like several do...

Yes a ‘few’ good moments with the ball but in the poor side without it.....

Sorry no full back can operate without some help and Armstrong was nowhere to be seen...... Armstrong did not press so I’m not sure which game you saw or if you may just be a ball watcher.

Fans are entitled to valued opinions and are not ‘embarrassing’ The post is entirely accurate too! The team did very well despite Fox.

A few people saying Armstrong played well..... He is ok on the ball but off the ball he was very poor in my view. He doesn’t show for the ball enough and last night did not join in with the ‘press’ hardly once leaving Ings to tire himself out while he stood and watched. Ings spoke to him several times about that during the game but still Armstrong didn’t press. This contributed also to Antonio having the freedom of St Mary’s in the first half with Armstrong nowhere to be seen. So yes ok on the ball but ok but off it not contributing enough and does hide at times.

One can only assume you are about ten .... In your defence.

What’s the matter mate that was a fair and accurate summary! We were second best in every department tonight. There was no press, no support at all for the guy on the ball, Armstrong was a complete passenger though they all looked tired you have to say. We were taught a serious lesson in pressing and how to offer options for the player in the ball tonight. Well done to West Ham who were excellent.

Did Clyde Best score a couple for them ?

You confuse caring with ability .. Completely different subjects.

Does anyone really think it matters? He is clearly not very good....

Of all our priorities surely this is the lowest one....

This makes sense....

It has to be Poch. Waiting until the summer tells us the new guy is currently employed and they have coveted Poch for a while now. It will be him. He will raid Tottenham and we can sit back and enjoy the Spurs dismay and also their subsequent fall from grace ....

A really excellent read, thank you for posting this ....

Bloody hell, a slight over reaction lol ...
