We do struggle to break down sides who don’t give a lot of space .. our game works better when we are not the team with majority of posession imo, quick transitions.. i think overall our team is pretty strong now though another striker would help and we could probably do with another upgrade on number ten positions especially if it meant no djenepo and Redmond.. same goes for long in the striker upgrade we have zero depth up front so it’s hard to change the game.

Yes this is one of the things I like about him.. he’s good at recieving the ball with his back to goal in the hole spins around and he’s away.. often causing fouls in good areas. also his pace looked pretty rapid today

Bit harsh imo our good run was with him in the side. Him and Theo are our best number ten partnership., i thought he should have been introduced earlier today, was pretty clear djenepo was not cutting it. Last two games he hasn’t started 0 goals for us 🤔

This even Adams to me doesn’t look like being a prolific scorer.. has has some nice parts to his games like strength hold up play and bringing others into play with some nice through balls but doesn’t look a natural finisher like ings. And after him we are left with kids or long or playing Theo up front.. the latter is probably the better option but then weakens us in number 10

Don’t mind long starting this tbh. i did say in the summer another striker should be a priority in case ings got injured.. let’s be honest tella and lndulu haven’t really even had the presence to touch the ball a lot so far.. at least long is combative and makes his presence known.. also with Adams strong hold up play he has a bit of speed to maybe get on the end of some of the moves.. walcott could have been a option I guess but using him up front probably also weakens the number ten position where he’s playing well

Think he’s been really good myself he’s at least playing better then the other number tens.. drops into holes and finds space well and causes problems when in these pockets. a lot better then Redmond or djenepo for me.has strengthened the first team so is a good signing

Still think it was a mistake to get rid of boufal over Redmond and djenepo..these two are just not good enough and would be easily replaced,Walcott is like a breath of fresh air in comparison. agree it would have probably been a better move to put Walcott up front for ings tough ask for tella and nlundulu to come into this game and change it where was Armstrong today ? amazing how much vestergaard has turned it around this season, gone from joke figure laughing stock to a absolutel colossus looking like we have another world class center back on our hands at the moment

Our game doesn’t really suit the slow possession based football.. we look much much better when hitting teams direct and fast without giving them time to set up.. we played a bit too much of this in the first half and the sending off made the game go even more this way.... thought some of Adams’s build up play tonight was superb though he’s getting good at holding the ball up and releasing players.. Theo was good again he drops into some nice pockets and can then beat players on the turn which can open up space, nice finish also.. ings has looked a bit off the pace the last couple of games be good to get him back to his normal sharpness.

Same team again for me.. getting a consistent first team has worked well for us, plus arsenal are totally there for the taking so don’t want us dropping points by changing things and resting players

Think that was probably Adams best performance for us, interesting to see how he does now his confidence should be rising. romeau showing a lot of the doubters to be totally wrong. Always find it weird how posters tend to make out a player is utter crap just because he is not starting. To be honest romeau has been pretty solid in most games he has played over the last two seasons.. deserves his run in the side. redmond man of the match really? i just don’t rate this guy personally.. struggles to beat his man, loses possession quite often when trying to beat anyone. Has no football brain, carries the ball to long when could pass and his shots are usually wayward. Only thing he really brings is a bit of pace and can carry the ball at speed occasionally, overall though I think we need to upgrade on him soon.

Probably makes financial sense to give him decent wage increase really.. as him not signing could cost us 40m plus on his next move

I think djenepo has been pretty dire the start of this season bar the goal.. very anonymous never looked like trying to take any one on and struggling to get into the games.. I do rate him but hasn’t looked very lively of late

Think Ralph may go with mccarthy kwp bed vest. Bertrand Romeu. Jwp walcott. Redmond Ings. Che think romeau and vestergaard probably get rewarded for their displays of late so not expecting diallo debut. Moussa hasn’t really been great of late although good goal and Redmond is a real hasenhuttl favourite so can see redders back in. and think Walcott may be more of a rightsided player then djenepo so possible debut for Theo assuming Armstrong isn’t ready to go this week after covid

What’s going on with the ings new contract deal.. thought we were in talks ? really need to get this tied up as it would kill his value if not signing

In a interview he says his best position is a box to box cm. he can also play left or right or as a classic ten. what I like about him is along with a huge frame he has extremely quick feet great dribbling and is pacy too, saw some Chelsea fans saying how can a big man like him dribble like hazard 6 goals and two assists from his 24 palace games I really should stop getting excited about this one but I can’t helo it

Yeah got that feeling too. But spoke to my West Ham supporting friend about this and he was like”I don’t know why you think we will get loftus we are after defenders” I actually think we would be exactly the type of club that Lampard would like to see us join as well, they want him to come out get game time and we are a club with a decent reputation for developing young players. If we can get past it’s only for a season this can be a huge win for all parties

Really hope we get Rlc in could be the difference that has us really competitive and challenging for Europe . surprises me people would be ok with a arsenal youngster on loan but not Rlc, he is top draw and would come streight in a one of our best players if only for the season.he was great for palace

I’m still hoping for Rlc think he would come in and be easily second best player at the club after ings. if boufal is going we could definitely do with something and tbh I think rlc is way better then what we have and walks into this side

I’m a semi pro gambler, agree the snowballing could have effect.. but it can also work the other way around and could be short due to itk people backing because they have info. what I will say though the West Ham rumours have been at least as strong as ours so why no rumours snow balling effect for them? to me there is such a big difference I think there may be something in this

Lol quoting myself but isn’t anyone else a bit excited by this? Latest news seems to be more about Chelsea trying to give rlc and Rudiger for rice. so the fact we are that short there really could be something in this 😃👌

Over at sky bet loftus cheek has shortened into 4-9 fav next club Southampton West Ham are 5-1!! this actually looks pretty promising hopefully someone in the know

I actually really like the look of veerman. Guy looks really class from the vids and potentially something special has superb passing and looks to have some swag about him. Really like the look of him

What’s the point in him putting this out there and potentially alerting other clubs ?

Looks a very creative player this veerman some really great passing and technique in the vids. bit surprising as Ralph usually prefers the headless chicken types lol
