The improvement in so many players' performances is unbelievable. Cresswell to LCB seems to be a genius move and Oggie, Obiang and Arnie are looking like the players we thought we were getting when they were brought in, But for me the biggest difference is with Noble, he's been given freedom to roam and he's playing so much more effectively for it. That can only be because he has confidence in who's behind him. Now just pray they don't go and mess it all up at Stoke, although I'm a little worried about who'll be replacing Reid and probably Antonio as he looks a little burnt out atm.
One of the things with Noble, imo, is that he has looked clueless at times because he has had no options available. Now people are showing for him, and he does have the ability to pick a pass. Too often in the last 18mths there was nothing in front of him, so it went backwards. Now there are people to pass to, he has the ability to find them.
The ball to Hernandez was, in the words of my Arsenal supporting brother, like watching de Bruyne.
Have to say, I wasn't a happy Hammer when they got rid of Bilic, who I really liked, but must say with Moyes at the helm, he has transformed them, from being pathetically tame, to a team giving 100% and playing as a well oiled team. Iv'e seen more tackles since Moyes took over, than the rest of the season with Bilic at the helm. It seems to me that they were just going through the motions then, and yet there was a lot of members on this site that was totally against Moyes, myself included. Lets just hope we carry on with performances like this, and we should be well clear of relegation by the end of the season.
From what I saw (not much, stream freezing/disappearing) plus highlights, we played really well again. Arnie was JUST offside, but what was impressive was his movement and finish, and Hernandez was half inch away from a perfect finish, he couldn`t have struck it better. Was dreading the last three games and am now over chuffed. Could/should have got something from Man City also. Fantastic team spirit at the minute. ;scarf
Shockers is maybe harsh, but Lanzini & Antonio were far from their best, imo. Zab played well, it was just a silly mistake at the death that resulted in Winston getting booked.
