    ;lol It did feel like that. They were obliged to put us up first but rattled through it very quickly.

    In 85/86 we started with Cottee and Goddard as the two up front but Sarge got injured in our first game so midfielder McAvennie was pushed forward.

    In 17/18 we started with Hernandez and Carroll as our first choice strikers, now Lanzini and Arnautovic are our most productive front two

    Funny old game, football

    Marco’s performance yesterday was absolutely brilliant.
    The way he turned defenders, his strength , his finishing, his passing.
    The only other player that I have seen destroy teams in the Premier league like that is Harry Kane and Aguero a few years ago. None of them have Marcos power though. He was nothing short of brilliant yesterday and I haven’t said that of a West Ham player for years.

    He looked a bit cheesed off that he didn’t manage to score the fourth himself ;lol

    I mean I know we aren’t great but...

    That’s why those sort of stats mean so much to us.

    ‘Boxing Day 2016’ is like a trophy to us

    That game won me a tenner from a friend. When we signed Nolan, he said he was past his best and wouldn't do anything for us, so I bet him that Nobby would get to double figures.

    He was on 7 goals going into that game and on the Friday my friend was winding me up, telling me not to forget his money on Monday.

    It was a very satisfying message I sent him that Sunday evening ;biggrin

    Modibo Maiga

    Had to look him up. He’s playing in the United Arab Emirates league and has done alright. And he’s got 5 goals in his last 3 games! Cheeky bid for him to replace Sakho? ;lol

    That was a really great result for us. Probably the first time I’ve felt relatively confident we’ll be ok. I know we aren’t there yet, but when you think after Moyes’ first few results (3 defeats and a draw), with games against Chelsea and Arsenal to follow, where we are now is almost a miracle. And to think if we’d held on at Bournemouth we’d be 9th, not to mention Ayew missing that penalty against Newcastle, which had he scored could’ve preserved us a point.

    Surprised by Huddersfield. I expected a bad result for us, but they put in a pretty nondescript performance. Didn’t do anything.

    I know we have good players, and were underperforming previously. But still. Arnie is reminding me of the effect Payet had. Even if the team is under par, he has an X factor that can still get us points.

    8 attempts, 6 on target and 4 goals. We still need a bit of reinforcing though.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Lukerz ;ok Re the reinforcing, I hope that yesterdays win doesn't make the board think that we don't need anyone this month. We still need a couple, IMO, because as always we're only an injury or two away from struggling again.

    Bit for now I'm just enjoying the win and the performance.

    And Arnie.

    Obvs.

    We are a completely different proposition when the likes of Arnie and Lanzini are not playing and have very little in the way of back up to genuinely compare
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Baracks ;ok We saw when we went with Hernandez and Ayew against Shrewsbury just how good Arnie and Lanzini are.

    With Antonio out for a while, we need another forward who can do what those two can do. Would I sacrifice Hernandez for that player? Probably would, actually.

    How things can change in such a short time. A couple of weeks ago Moyes was
    getting slagged off by a lot of people on this forum. Now, he seems to be the greatest since sliced bread.

    Just watched Goals on Sunday and noticed (which I hadn't before) that the 2nd goal was a cunning plan. Arnie is signalling to Ogbonna what to do, then makes his run as Ogbonna sets himself to play it long. ;run ;goal
    OldCastleSwiftalderz
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Do we know how long Antonio is out for?

    I agree though, the way we play is ineffective if the players up front don't have the technical or physical ability to be a threat with very little support

    Think this suits for away games only, think at home we would be expected to have more of the ball so would need someone to partner Arnie with Lanzini perhaps dropping deeper

    Theoretically Ayew and Hernandez should be able back ups but it's just not working for them

    It's so important for us to get Antonio back and fully fit (and I mean fully fit) as a fully fit Antonio has the qualities that Arnie brings

    Problem we have is buying a player of equal class to those 2, but not necessarily being first teamers

    But think Moyes is happy with his system especially for away trips. attack direct with pace, skill and power

    Outside the top 6 teams, Arnie and Lanzini have to be among the better players around

    You lose 4-0 to Everton, plus losing to watford etc, you deserve criticism

    But if you turn it around and win 4-1 and 3-0 away from home against relegation rivals you are going to get praised

    Not really sure what you expect...... he's turned it around so does he not deserve praise?

    I don't see Ayew and Hernandez, who are both predominantly penalty box players, as being a back up to Arnie and Lanzini. They offer a different option in the way we play but not running the ball from the half way line.

  • alderzalderz
    I still think that Hernandez is an able replacement, but whenever he comes in for one of Arnie / Lanzini the other seems to be replaced too. He needs to play with one or both of them for a spell.

    Think Ayew should personally, at least in his younger days at Marseille when he was predominately a winger

    But I agree re Hernandez
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    I have been impressed with how much of Arnie recent success has been due to his own hard work.

    He chasing down of defenders causing them to make mistakes has been a real factor.
