Apparently they don’t work together and Moura is only a sub.
Because Poch said so.
He’s been great.
Problem is, he always takes the risky option. We just have to accept that.
The "Massimo Taibi" award maybe.
Better.That improv from Dele for the second tho'....
Up there with Harry's vs Leicester.
Insane....sat there laughing in disbelief for five minutes that it led to a goal
Really pleasing half:
We controlled this half, something we haven't done for ages! Bar a couple of realy poor balls given away by Dier they haven't been able to get at us other than one effort for Haller after about 15mins.
Early tempo (first 15mins) was really good, pressing high from front four and winning the ball back regularly.
Some good repeated patterns of play too with Kane running behind onto a through ball between FB and CB.
Dele is absolutely ON FIRE!!! Finding pockets of space, playing lovely balls for those ahead of him and he's pressing the shit out of them when not on the ball, best player on the pitch that half.
The middle part of that game was a bit flat early tempo had been lost and West Ham had a bit more of the ball, didn't do much with it though. Still, need to stop the cross coming in but so far it's been from very deep so low percentage but thankful to some good defending from Aurier and Sanchez.
So we are 4-2-3-1, Dier and Winks both deep but this has enabled freedom for our front four. Dier hasn't been great on the ball but positionally without it he's been excellent and has tracked almost everything West Ham have tried.
Interesting that we haven't played out from the back once and had Gazza go long on almost every time, quite like it for a change and I think it;'s surprised West Ham too, it's meant they've had to drop deep and up top their forwards have nothing to press.

We've played some really fluid and exciting stuff, Dele's touch while on the ground to keep play going at the goal was the kind of thing we've been missing from him.
He dropped the prize before coming out.
The best thing so far. Fuck the "playing it out from the back" bullshit.
Agree. Dier has looked VERY rusty at some points. At other times he’s looked like the DM Mou wants. He’s going to get a run of games.
Watching it nerve free apart from my stream crashing
Lucas hasn’t been that great bar the goal imo.
And he did the same at Chelsea also Ivanovic often used to stay back and play as a 3rd CB whilst Cole ran riot down the other flank
System, too. Mou has a much better system for two true wingers.
