I saw a photo of Luiz sliding after scoring yesterday and in the background in the crowd, they're 80 percent photo-taking tourists.

Isn't this the sort of thing Mr Woodhall alluded to when he said (to paraphrase) "To get where we want to be, we must become the thing that we hate".

A lyric within a track called How about that! by Jesus Jones

"The problem with success is you become what you detest"

very true i am afraid.

Wet Spam utilise all the floating tourist fans also as there is no way they are filling that stadium with actual Hammers fans

Bloke at work stated Kamara looked good the last couple of games, would he have kept Gerrard in a job if not injured. I stated no, as Kamara had some good games pre-injury but we still looked like shit because Gerrard couldn't work out how to organise the players properly anyway. Emery does.

Indeed.  Not exactly a queue of chairman at our previous managers door it would seem.

Getting better with every game, we need more signings like him. Strong, composed, able to compete when it gets physical and looks after the ball. Brilliant player.

He needs a partner in there next to him.  Someone more physical.  Kamara is a world class player and we need to build the side around him. Fantastic player, so very composed on the ball. Man of the match against Leeds.

I've seen so many in his position fumble under a press or get a bit too lackadaisical on the ball. Including Dougy. But Kamara is so assured on the ball. Rarely wastes it. Always thinks a move ahead.
Off the ball he's also great, reads it very well. He's that good I almost wonder what he's doing here. But hopefully the Emery project pulls the side closer to Kamara's level.

Almost any other season he'd be comfortably the best signing in the league but that's a hard sell in a year when Haaland has been so good.
