Thought we got a few decent ones, a few were well defended and some beat everyone and went out the other side.

To be fair, I would think their XG was made up of their goal and Antonio’s 1v1 which was a foul and never should have happened.
I didn’t hate that game, I’d rather be the side trying to ground down the bus - even with blunt forwards - than the bus.
As we see with sides like City and Liverpool, it’s tough to play against the bus and West Ham are the best bus in the PL right now.
We need better forwards with cleverer feet - a la Liverpool, City etc to break the bus. This is where a Doku type can help, he commits people, can go both ways and past people. Cause some chaos.
Ange’s subs absolutely killed us. Kulusevski and Sarr for Maddison and Bentancur weakened both positions in a creative sense. Should have just swapped out Bentancur for Lo Celso (or Kulusevski) and Son should have gone for Richarlison much Sooner, he’s crap as a 9 in a game like this and Werner is actually better out wide than Son.

You don't get to sign that level of player until your team is already the finished article (or at least considered a long-standing member of the elite).
Kudus, Bowen, Paqueta all walk in to our team. The rest of their team is crap.
I'm sad to inform you that we have Liverpool, City, Woolwich, and Newcastle still to play!
Wow. Be prepared for loads of X's. I agree with you whole heartedly Poch, Jose. Conté and now Ange all had/have the same problem
Not based on tonight.
I would have before he signed for wham and before we signed Werner but Kudus would never work for us in the press. He switches off as soon as he doesn't have the ball. We should have attacked his side much more
Because people are talking on here like we can rock up there like its Sheff Utd and twat them by 3 or 4. Our side is a bit better, thats it. If we want to seriously challenge we need to improve pretty much everywhere.
Son for rich was obvious from about 60 mins, probably earlier
It took us til late in the second half to actually get someone protecting him though.
That is really pissing me off now! Every gane we play like it’s a training session , stroll in the park and we are 5-0 up. There no urgency in our play at all. Free kicks corners etc we take forever. I remeber earlier in the season MADDs would take quick free kicks. The only who does try to play quickly and quick passes is Gio. The rest just think we have won the game already. Even Vic could do some quick throw outs or kicks to the wide players to at least give them the chance to run at their defence.
We should have twatted them by 4 at home but coudln't finish.
I definitely agree that we need some serious investment in key areas this summer. They will invest as well though.
Our attackers are excellent.
We have scored more goals this season after 30 games than in our entire EPL history.
You will get games when individual players are not firing on all 6 but they tend to come back in the next game.
I am hoping that Richi gets back to full fitness and starts again.
West Ham always play that way.
And they've conceded 55 goals this season. That's like 2 a game.
Weird, that means other - and worse - teams than us have managed to score a few & even beat them, whereas we took one solitary point off them across two games. And without Vic it'd be a big friggin 0.
I think he's a decent player who didn't do much. The best example you could come up with was a missed shot.
