You play Noble you just become the same old West Ham. Our best players are injured and our midfield is playing one man short . Why oh why is Noble still a West Ham player. Benhrama deserves a chance as playing Noble ruins the team.
Let's take bets on when we bring on Benrahma. 70 minutes?
It should be now. He was the player we needed in that period before they scored.
Who would we take off for Benrahma. Bowen has been good I MO, and i can’t see Moyes taking off Lingard.
The system is the issue, for me. Back five with three traditional CBs doesn’t work for us. I’d rather lose Diop or Balbuena for Benrahma and go to 4-2-3-1.
Take Noble off for Benrahma for all the good he does playing that deep.
I’d rather Noble playing the ball out from deep than Diop/Balbuena. The problem when there are three CBs and Noble is that there are fewer options for a forward pass
I have no complaints, we are 5th in the league and have proved so many people wrong, if we wanna go for a bit more, IMO the player who has been poor is Fornals, if we wanna change things up.... COYI, you have done us so proud all season and I'm content, we are after all playing Chelsea, who whether we like it or not are always there or thereabouts , we are punching above our weight.....
I thought we looked fairly solid to be fair. I am surprised Ogbonna is playing Central and Diop on the left. Ogbonna is our only left footed player on the pitch.
There is nothing in front of Noble anyway, Bowen / Lingard getting beaten for pace and bullied off the ball. Im not sure we have anyone to turn this around either i dont think Benrahma or Lanzini or Yarmelenko have got the strength to play the Antonio hold up play that we need. Our best bet is a set play so having a tricky player like Benrahma to draw fouls is probably the best bet to get something out of this game.

What has he done wrong?
Noble has had highest passing accuracy in the team.
Understandable I guess when you're missing your best players.
Lingard really isn’t so effective when we can’t counter attack.
Coufal's decision making in the final third hasn't been great, either. Not sure where our goals are coming from.
