Why don’t West Ham fans constantly drone on about the “West Ham Way” these days? Or, if they do, they aren’t getting as much air time.

We can't have Forster in goal against Liverpool... 💀

Has worked with McCarthy, Bertrand, KWP, Romeu, Walcott, Ings and Adams from the Championship. Shows there's occasionally a gem not getting much game time at one of the bigger, talent hoarder clubs.

For whichever reason (motivational?) Liverpool have not been the all conquering team that they were for the majority of last season since football restarted after the COVID break. Hopefully we don't catch them on a 7-0 day, and we get this misfiring team too.

Ings is just on another level. Shame another offside goal.

Well, the last planned three week break ended up being three months. Hopefully tonight's one to enjoy, as could be the last one for a while.

Get in there!

The ref has missed three fouls in one phase of play.

Wtf, how has Adams not scored? If that was Long he would be crucified.

Leeds have an £8m option to buy clause included in the Harrison deal.

Time for the summer signings to step up this weekend then.

100%. Despite a natural drop in performance, he still isn't a weak link in the team like Redmond, Valery are/were. I still think it will be very hard to replace him and would be another test for the scouting department, when we do not necessarily need to. Unless, he is asking for an obscene amount of wages for his age.

See David Moyes selected two goalkeepers on his bench with the new nine sub rule. Unorthodox.

This time last season we started with Adams and Obafemi against Chelsea because Ings wasn't right for the match (came off the bench) and we won... quite comfortably too. Maybe Ralph doesn't like his options now. 🤷‍♂️ If Tella is his next in line to replace Ings then you can see why.

Another great ball played in by Romeu.

Sterling didn’t have his arms in a natural position there.

Yep, Mourinho has him playing a much simpler role in the Tottenham team, where he simply sits back, breaks attacks with tactical fouls and recycles the ball to a teammate. We/Ralph do not play this way and now you can see that JWP and Romeu are much more capable of bringing the ball forward and hitting shots on target, playing assists etc. (I know Romeu got his first ever League one, but that ball against Arsenal which Redmond hit the bar with was another delight.) Whereas, the less said about Hojbjerg’s ability up the pitch in regards to his shooting and composure to pick out a killer pass, well the less said about that the better. He certainly is not their Eriksen replacement, which they were all crowing about in the summer, only in nationality. Essentially, Hojbjerg is a passion merchant, who wears his heart on the sleeve and does try to break boundaries with the rules/deceive the ref and Mourinho loves these types of players.

Get a penalty/direct free kick from David Luiz.

Do you support Arsenal?

Look here, I've read the article and cannot see any issues with it. Just look at this compelling quote: They're clearly massive fans of Forster, as despite his dominant presence causing them to struggle, they would still love to lure him back. Additionally: Fully agree that McCarthy is only our number one due to the weakest part of his game.

If we show them respect and sit back a bit because they’re Arsenal then they could hurt us with the quality of some of their individuals. However, if we take the game to them then I think we could beat them, quite comfortably too, like the 4-0 at home, which saw THAT Martina goal.

Good job the black box foresaw this when running its character checks on potential signings.

Vestergaard’s pulling the strings, such good long range passing.

Game over. Time to go to sleep.

Djenepo may need to go off for Ings early doors now following the yellow. Use Walcott’s experience to defend against Lamptey as Djenepo’s having all kinds of issues.
