Player Analysis 🧐

[The Claret Lab @WestHamAnalysis]

STILL CONFIDENT - Parker will have a lot of time with the squad during the international break, no Hermansen that whole time lowkey garuntees us Areola.

I want the nipple. Hashtag Areolas

Southampton's second was a worldie, no keeper stops that. But the move started with Mukasa chasing the ball and getting nowhere near it. Tough afternoon for the lad. He's 22, he's learning, and days like this are part of it. Doesn't change the fact he's an impact sub for now

[The Claret Lab @WestHamAnalysis]

Mukasa’s got talent, but he’s Man City’s. Every game we develop him just pushes his price up.
Against Southampton he gave the first goal away, then took five shots – four from outside the box, only one on target. The assist was a decent bit of redemption, but he’s an impact sub for now. Get Soucek on.

All this fuss about Dan Ashworth.

A proper Sporting Director.

[The Claret Lab @WestHamAnalysis]

“Evolved tactically to press man to man” pressing has been in football since hodgson was in nappies. Just because it sounds impressive doesn’t mean it is.

[The Claret Lab @WestHamAnalysis]

Just because something sounds new and revolutionary doesn’t mean it’s a good thing. In what world is sending your centre backs to press in a wingers position “amazing” leaves gaps in behind for players to exploit.

Too many football fans get excited over these new age buzzwords.

[EBL @EBL2017]

It's 2024, Roy Hodgson is 76, and he has evolved tactically to the point where his Palace team are pressing Arsenal's 3-2-5 shape in man-to-man fashion.

Their outside centre backs are pressing THIS high in Arsenal's half as Ødegaard/Havertz drop deep.

Amazing on so many levels.
