West Bromwich Albion’s Jonny Evans has explained how Tony Pulis’ team managed to tear the Hammers apart at the weekend.
And it’s clear that the Irons have a second season syndrome to deal with if they are to get back to the winning ways that marked their first season under Slaven Bilic.
The former Manchester United player explained that the WBA players had closely studied the Irons and had developed a specific game plan on how to bat them.
He said: ““West Ham play a very expansive and open game of football. Last season it worked for them because they caught a lot of teams by surprise.
Teams have watched them. We studied them this week and we saw that they are not always working back and the wingers in wide areas.
They leave a lot of players high up for the counter-attack and we knew if we were patient today and worked the ball in the final third, we could hurt them.
It’s the midfield not providing cover. Payet maybe a playmaker, but he doesn’t like doing the dirty work… and as Evans says, overcommitting upfield… tgen for subs, puts on attackers instead of making midfield more effective…and makes our top goalscorer RB…
Hey ho. Will Slav get to grips with it?
Here he is,the fella who said he had never used this site before.Cometh the Fish Moment.
Do you have anymore lies to tell or are you starting quietly this week.No comments about salons or girlies?
The dual personality man returns! Is he fishy is he Cometh the moment is he Cometh the fishy moment? No doubt he’ll be in about bullying in a minute 🙂
I think it’s just easier to call him the bullsh1tting,lying w@nker don’t you.
Well if you put it like that JB 🙂 But wouldn’t disagree
I can’t stomach w@nkers like him GW who come on sites acting like a newbie when they have been on before.Blatantly lie to everyone & try to gain sympathy off some while all the time knowing they are on with an agenda from a previous account they had.He is a lying scumbag,plain & simple.
I have been a hammer fan for many years and on paper the team that played against Watford and indeed W.B.A was a much better side than last year. They had a lot of injuries but that cannot be blamed now. Although Cresswell is a big miss as he links up well with Payet I don’t think Carroll or Ayew would at present make much of a difference. As for Sakho it appears as with with Valencia the interest has gone playing for the team. It pinpoints to the manager but time will tell.
