Takeaways from today:
At 0-0:
If we play conservatively like a punching bag, we're gonna get punched. There were attacking opportunities we could have probed more intently before West Ham scored.
At 1-0 (edited):
West Ham were still going for the 2nd goal ; the mentality was what we should have had at 0-0.
The game would have taken on a possibly non salvage-able atmosphere if they've scored a 2nd.
At 1-1:
Were we confident that we'll equalize tonight until Martinelli slotted in the goal? That goal cannot be understated.
At 1-2:
Happy for Pepe's goal; really wanted him to gain confidence. But he needs to find a better balance between his dribbling and off the ball positioning. On another day this might go horribly wrong.
Was almost going to advocate taking him off before his goal.
Also, did anyone see Martinelli's joy at Pepe's goal for/with him?
At 1-3:
Delighted with Pepe's assist, Auba's goal.
Martinelli, Pepe, Aubameyang all on the scoresheet.
Hopefully they'll develop a bond that one can contribute/compensate for another, not just compete with.
After all that, the players just need to know and believe... that the fans genuinely want and are delighted for them to succeed...
