the owner downer of the day was seeing people shuffle for the exits it the 85th minute when we're 1-0 up and eight minutes away from beating the goon at home for the first time in over a decade.

Re: ⚽ West Ham Utd v Arsenal: match thread
Just finished watching the whole match - we had too many people in the house for me to watch it ' live ' in comfort - Thought we matched them all over the park , could have gone in 1-0 up at half time but hey-ho the young lad made up for it .
It might not have looked like the best of games , too many stops and starts , we didn't let them play their usual game and they didn't let us play ours - the difference was Declan Rice , what a great kid he is , the antithesis of Marko Arnautovic , modest , a little on the shy side , the ultimate Boy Next Door and I'm so happy he plays for West Ham . However , whenever we beat a top team like Arsenal it's never about just one man , it's about the whole team , everyone played their part , well done , lads .
As for Marko Arnautovic , it's a shame what's going on with him , this season could have been the best since 2015/16 and it probably still will be but it could have been so much better if only Marko had asked for a transfer next summer and played his part for the whole of this season .
I'm not going to pretend I know the ins and outs of all this - is he being driven out by the owners , are they trying to cash in on one of their best assets , is his brother trying to engineer a move or engineer a pay rise ?
If it's the latter then pay him what he's worth , give him parity with the highest paid West Ham player and let's be a happy squad once more - this season could turn out to be something special , I really hope Marko Arnautovic is part of it .
Anyway , well done , West Ham , that was a superb win over one of the best teams in the Premiership .

I don't think we "matched" them at all. We dominated them, and they had no answer for our tactics or quality.

Some talk about Arsenal being "off" their game. Fact is we didn't give them the time/space to be "on" it.

Re: ⚽ West Ham Utd v Arsenal: match thread
Who ever did the scouting job on them did it to perfection, we pressed ultra high, at times we had 5 or 6 players in their half when we didn't have the ball, forcing them to make mistakes or go long and lose the ball.Vic_Watson wrote:Some talk about Arsenal being "off" their game.

Re: ⚽ West Ham Utd v Arsenal: match thread
Don’t ever remember us being that comfortable against them. Perfect balance of tactical awareness, guile and work rate. Rice really is unbelievable. Mark of how consistent he’s been, he misplaced a pass early in the game and I struggled to think of any other time he’d done it this season. He’s immense, for his age it’s incredible, plays with the awareness of someone 10 years older. Hats off to Snodders and Carroll when they came on. There was a 5 min spell when they pressed and terrorised their back 4, didn’t give them a second to dwell on the ball. From first whistle to last was a pleasure to watch. Very happy Hammer tonight.

Why did we win today? Because we have the best manager in my lifetime (29 years young) and he knows exactly what he is doing. Absolute class act.

Re: ⚽ West Ham Utd v Arsenal: match thread
About six players who could claim to be motm. Most tellingly it wasn't Fabianski...
My sympathies to three STHs who stand near me but overstayed at half-time and missed Declan's first goal for us.

Wouldn’t have many of their players in our team. Possibly three at most? Still, absolutely delighted with that win today.
Irons!
