We’re f*ckin back!
Buzzin, fuckin BUZZIN!
I mean come on, we haven’t felt like this in what feels like decades! What a great game of football. That was the West Ham I know and love.
Before the match, I was complaining that our lack of stability in the middle would hold us back from our wingbacks and wingers attacking their weak outside backs. I’ve been really critical of our CB’s, but after that bullshit first goal we let up, they really held it together. Where the fuck was Kilman’s head all year?! His headers in the late first half and second half were fucking awesome, in defense and attacking corners. Todibo held his own too, but if both of them can play like that, we have a real chance at staying up. Those two needed a game like that more than anyone.

Gotta give it to Nuno, I love him so much for starting with that midfield, the fans have been begging for Fernandes, Potts and Paqueta. Fernandes and Potts are so young but we urgently need their pace, they’ll just continue to get better with playing time. All year we’ve been crying for Potts and I think we’ve finally got a Manager who sees how good he is.
Summerville and Bowen were relentless. It’s incredible watching Bowen, game in and game out, no one runs like him, always involved in the attack. He’s gotta be one of the most consistent West Ham players of all time, you always know you’re getting his all every match.
A lotta respect for Callum Wilson too, I was critical of signing him but we might have to rely on him the way we did Antonio and he’s been putting in work every time he’s in. He needs to be the starting striker, maybe even still after Fullkrug comes back because Wilson has been meshing with this attack much easier. Wilson doesn’t look lost the way Fullkrug can.
Ya forget how young Diouf is, his defending will come along with more experience, but his crosses are just magic. But he was able to be great because Kilman and Todibo did their jobs for once and we had a strong midfield. Ya just love to see it.
I really felt like we were done for last week. We needed that performance to just believe in the squad again. Yea Newcastle weren’t good but that’s how we are going to stay up. This starting eleven can beat quality teams on their off days, and that’s all we need in order to stay up. Staying up is the only mission right now. I’m buzzin, enjoy the week, Burnley Saturday.
