Unfortunately I can remember a couple of games where we've had the temerity to score first and end up getting well beaten (5-1 Arsenal in 2013 and 7-1 Man Utd in 2000 I think) but at least we can dream all through half time lol.
I'll give credit where credit is due. Obiang and Kouyate did well in the first half. I've been very critical of those two this season (particularly Obiang) but they've both done very well. Obiang has read the game well. Shame Kouyate has gone off but would be great if Sakho could pinch our second and hopefully that'll give us a nice safety cushion. Masuaku playing well stretching our defence too. Finally, Zabaleta - even if he is past his best he still has a good football brain and seems to be a great captain. Much of the same second half please! Hope our midfield can stay strong as Obiang will tire and has more to do wuthout Kouyate there and not much backup on the bench.

I have hope now.
West Ham United fans ;lol
0-1

Very well-organised defensively, but still able to pose a threat.
We aren't going to hold on to this, but anyone think we wouldn't be 2 or more down by now?
If nothing else, every player is showing heart.
He was kneed in the butt.
Cressa needs to do better with these.
It looks like we are executing a plan.
It’s a very confusing.
Time to sub him?
