Loved the game, so assured and confident, West Ham started well the second half, but few mins later we scored no dramas!
Best thing for me was when we made subs we strengthened the team, it wasn’t a noteicable drop. I’m not saying Shaqiri is as good as mane at all, but he was fresh and causes them to stay on the back foot. Same with Sturridge, when Salah went off, of course he’s not at that level, but he gets the ball into feet and makes those runs. So many times we get to 70 mins, begin to tire and nothing can really change for the better, as we lacked pace and ability on the Bench.

Was really impressed by Gomez and Alisson who is so accurate with his long balls. Gomez did well imo not a bad cameo in my opinion. Really looking forward to the next game and hope this team can be consistent. YWNA.

I too was impressed with Gomez. If he keeps them performances up then it might not just be a cameo there.

Gomez needs to work on holding his line but he has the speed to recover most of the time. definitely potential at CB but I don’t think he’ll start ahead of Lovren.

Saw some moaning on the live chat yesterday when we took Firmino off for Henderson but I actually think that was excellent substituting. last season when a forward came off we tended to throw on a defender which always helped bring the other team onto us. This year, bring on a mid instead to help keep the play near the halfway line, let that pattern of play settle for 5/ 10 mins and then bring on another attacking player. Better game management for me that yesterday.
