Also the defensive 2 have looked better without Luiz

Feel good for Freddie that he won that. He inherited a terrible situation (we can debate how much input he had during Emery’s time) he had a set of players that seem uncoachable, low on confidence, low on energy, loses his rb in the warm up, his lb in under half an hour but made a big decision to change up the team and play with two wingers - even if that should have been his first decision. Playing like a dogs dinner and whatever he said at half time had the desired effect

Ljungberg deserves tonight

I need to see us play a reasonable team before I start thinking we are thru the worst.

Well you won’t have long to wait for that. Man City will provide a real test.

That was the first time since 2011 that we’ve been behind at half time away from home and come back to win the game. 8 years!

That's the ticket Gaz ...why on earth celebrate the fact we got a much needed win when you can see a possible gloomy event further on down the track .

We beat West Ham ... okay so they aren't up to much at the moment but I'll tell you something for nothing their fans would have been ecstatic if they'd beaten us .

I'm happy :26encouragement:

Chambers and Torriera may not be the answer at CB and holding mid but at least it is putting round pegs in round holes and picking two players who have natural defensive attributes.

Both deserve to stay in the team in those positions

Yes, agree.
Think one or both of Özil and Xhaka to be "rested". AMN too. The rest to keep their starting places.

A tactic I've rarely, if ever, seen employed in football but I have seen it as a strategy in basketball is a quick throw in catching the opposition either unawares, unfocused or disorganized.

Never really understand why I've never recalled seeing it.

What concerns me is the 60 minutes of dross. We do that against better teams then we will pay. When I see a committed and flowing team effort I will celebrate

Replace Özil with Willock. Replace Xhaka with Guendozi. And we will have a more mobile fighting unit. It will also strengthen our defensive play when we lose the ball.

Saw someone say both team are poor teams but arsenal suddenly realised they may be poor but they still have good players. West Ham don’t have that luxury. Makes it all the more frustrating what’s happened in the last 8 games. Also, that VAR goal wrongly chalked off v Palace would have had us Above spurs

Great result. Much better after the leveller. Looked awful before that. Pépé looks to have moments of genius in him but he has to try and cut out some of these silly attempts to dribble out of very dangerous areas.

Post subject:	Re: Supporters Forum
Miraculously after we got our confidence up and and tails up looking for a goal fest, I'm seeing 2 or 3 players attacking the 6 yard box. Prior most of the game, Pépé would be wide right and no one to get it to in the box.

Man City will provide a real test. Its a good time to play them, though. They've lost as many games as we have. Freddie needs to figure out how we are going to defend resolutely and get the ball to the front three pronto like United did.

Feels great to celebrate some goals and a Win!!!! Thought it was game over at half time. Didnt see us turning that around. All good goals and you could see a bit of confidence coming back. Looks like the players are behind Freddie judging by the hugs at the end. Massive win. Really really needed that. Love that kid Martinelli. And goal and assist by Pépé. Brilliant finish. Keep Luiz on the bench please. Chambers played well.

The wider point being how we seem to be a very fragile side who dwell on any low confidence, taking an age to snap out of it but can have confidence eroded away by a single goal

But hopefully both the players and especially management will be feeling confident and will actually believe they can get results against City, United, and Chelsea, etc at home. That first win was massive. Liege, Everton and Bournmouth away .. could be a lot worse. Provided the usual injury curse doesn't strike, we could get a little bit of momentum.
