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 cleveter 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.
