Watford have two, same as us. Nul points so far for Bournemouth and Norwich since the restart.
Would we be better off with;Webster over Engels?Philips over Nkamba?Maupy over Wesley?Benrhama over Tezuguet?
I only saw the second half but apart from the first ten minutes, Chelsea dominated just like they did against us. West Ham were penned in for long periods. It did take direct set pieces for Chelsea to score but they were doing all the footballing, with West Ham reliant on the big man up front. The winner was excellent target man play but shocking defending from Alonso and Rudiger. I don't know why defenders get a free pass for staying on the pitch and not being substituted when playing poorly. Rudiger struggled against Antonio all night but Lampard's tinkering was only from an attacking point of view.If Jota scores his shot at the end of our game against Chelsea we would have been praising our team's resilience. Doesn't alter the fact that Chelsea were by far the better team, just as they were the better side tonight but a shit bit of defending and, in fairness an astute substitution from Moyes, made the difference. Dean should be showing that winner to Davis and El Ghazi, that's how you play when you're on the counter attack.

Quote from: Ads on July 01, 2020, 08:57:39 AMWould we be better off with;Webster over Engels?Philips over Nkamba?Maupy over Wesley?Benrhama over Tezuguet?Would we better off, probably on the pitch with most of them yes, could we afford those 4 with FFP?? Engels started well & we all thought he was going to prove a bargain whilst Webster was a bit iffy, he has improved massively whilst Engels seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth-Webster cost twice as much as EngelsPhillips like Nakamba had never played at this level, think we all think he will be better but 30m+ was surely out of our price range? Maupay over Wesley is a very interesting one, Wesley had 6 goals by Christmas and was just looking as though he had adjusted, Maupay has 9 in the whole season - personally would have backed Wesley to be in double figures by now if he had been fit - Maupay is a nuisance, has a bit of pace and has that horrible streak that we lack - jury out on which is better for meBenrahma over Trezeguet, again would have cost double so FFP issues but also the most obvious upgrade-Benrahma looks a player whereas Trezeguet is league one at best, hopefully will be out of VP whatever league we are in next season.
The thing is we know we have it in us. There was also periods when we look like scoring as well as pressing well. It's been very far and few between since November, a glimpse of this against Leicester in the cup and away at Burnley. Clutching at straws I know.
Surely the most pertinent fact for us is no wins in 8 games, and two games coming up where we're going to get smashed into next week.
