    Looks like we should be pressing them higher up the pitch

    Phew, great foot in by Cresswell, and then the shot finally goes wide; very nearly caught on the break.

    We had a corner, we couldn’t be much higher. They attack with excellent speed

    I’d find this quite entertaining if I was a neutral but as a Hammer it’s making me sweat.

    We need to wake up big time here or this tie could be over tonight.

    And as usual it’s not

    This is a really good test. Very even sides who play similar but we are having to play how we don’t want to play first. Second leg will be interesting. Just need to stay in the tie.

    Not too unhappy to be level at half time after conceding so early.

    Loving this

    Love this team, to conceded after 50 seconds could've knocked the stuffing out of us but we've battled back great

    I think it’s a very high quality game, almost like a semi final
  • LukerzLukerz
    The two behind their striker are the main issues. Constantly getting in between the midfield & the defence. They are all over Rice & Soucek from a defensive POV.

    Bowen is going to have a big half, he is looking really sharp!

    Lots still to come in this match.

    Yep. Kamada especially.

    Carlton getting his massives mixed up at half time.
  • stevesteve
    They look like a pretty usefull team on the break
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Anybody else quietly impressed with Carlton. I'm sure I saw him in his first few pundit jobs and he looked out of his depth but now - look, he's not amazing - he's quietly making well observed points. Maybe the bar was set low early on.

    Need to track that run down the right

    They almost got in again

    Take a touch, Tomas. Good chance to take the lead.

    Need to take some of these chances, but encouraged that we are creating so many

    Man, that was poor defending
  • whupathmanwhupathman
    ouch
  • yoyoyoyo
    Great move but we had 7 across the back and they walked through us
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Soucek far too passive
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    They are the best team we’ve faced in this comp
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    They had a lot of passes before that goal; we just let them go straight through us. Very disappointing, if a tad unfortunate that both the ball fell to their player from the good save by Areola, and that their player was marginally onside.

    Benrahma to come on and score or assist 2 goals.

    Yeah, our composure in the final third has been lacking.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Benrahma needs to come on

    Frankfurt looking comfortable atm

    It's been said before, but we play Lanzini and then need Benrahma from the bench. But if we start Benrahma, we call for Lanzini to come on.

    Neither can seem to nail the position down.

    They seem to have noted where our weaknesses are but we’ve not learned where their strengths are

    Now he needs to do something or I fear he's way past last chance saloon.
