Win Premier League: West Ham United 0-6 Arsenal | Sunday 11th February | KO: 14:00 GMT | Sky Sports

West Ham 0-2 Arsenal

 

[Melquiades]

I didn’t see it tbh. Thought they did absolutely nothing. Saka missed a few golden opportunities which only kept them in it to a degree.

Yeah, West Ham did nothing. Didn't they have 0 touches in our box in the first half? Nothing that resembled a scoring chance. They had 1 or 2 counters that briefly looked like they could be something before turning into nothing.

It could have been 2-0 before 30 minutes with some better finishing.

This was an absolute destruction from start to finish.

West Ham have problems - a lot of players for them just quit today. The effort level from their players on the 5-0 Saka goal in particular was embarrassing.

Fair enough. Apart from the Kiwi challenge in the box, the threat was outside the box. Agree that the missed chances kept them in it.

 

[Halcyon Daze]

Some of the deliveries were excellent today. Shout out to Kiwi who put an absolute beauty in for Saka which he should have buried. Haven’t seen that from him before, nice little surprise.

 

[MutableEarth]

Nwaneri doesn’t look like he has that explosive pace required for being a winger.

Like some said he’s more of 8-10 player. You think he has positional intelligence in the middle to play in there @MutableEarth

Yeah that's where he normally plays. At most he can play false 9

I meant in the way they ran at us and countered in that time. The xg shows that they didn't make the most of their slim chances. We missed about four chances before going 2-0 up and recorded our highest xg of the season. It's the eye test.

I think you're talking about "threat" because those counters didn't even lead to a chance/shot for West Ham. Sure, they had a bit of threat in the first 15-20 mins but then we completely took over the game and they didn't get a sniff from that point on.

53 and counting no Haaland was painful this week

55 points with 45 mins of Watkins and Palmer remaining.

I think dropping Saka for KDB cost me the top 10 A-M league spot I was eyeing up

The forgotten team of mine, keeps delivering

I'm also waiting on Watkins and Palmer. But on 62 so far.

 

[BergMan]

Surprisingly easy. We were good but also West Ham totally gave up after the first goal.

Amazing win

A win was a must as 3 losses to these chumps would have been embarrassing.

Does our GD a big favour & keeps the gap close.

Let's keep this momentum going !!!

-2 pts with respect to corresponding fixtures last season

White inverted today from right side
Maybe because of Kudus, who is more dangerous than Ben Johnson (who played LW today)

More to do with the fact that Kiwi not comfortable inverting *at all* and Mikel learning some lessons on that front.

Can we talk about Kalvin Philips? He was so bad in this game. Did I imagine him squaring up to someone during the match as well?

Who ?

I thought him and Rice would be the new Lampard and Gerrard after the Euros. It's a shame how his career has fallen off. Injuries have been cruel but the move to City was a big mistake. He looks done at the top level.

 

[Arson Finger]

Sure we won 6-0, but the big question everyone wants the answer to is how did Arsenal celebrate? Too much? Or way too much?
The Celebration Police award a half point to Rice for his anti-celebration, but have issued another summons for Arteta, who was caught on camera blatantly smiling after the game, along with several of his players.
Disgraceful. Get down the tunnel!

 

[Riou]

Think Ødegaard is really getting back to his best of last season too, ran the game today and none of their midfielders could even get near.

Wonderful player, the pass for Saka's second was perfect...love how he allows us to play.

Loves dancing on West Ham's grave does our Martin.

At 0-0 the commentator said " the lack of a CF is really hurting Arsenal"

Six goals later....

We just need to make sure that the commentator isn't right when we travel to Burnley next week. It took 70 minutes and an elite CF to see them off.
