West Ham's attack is firing on all cylinders - who or what is behind this scoring spree? 🤔

kwaylen2w ago

Nuno should’ve started with the team that beat wrexham on Friday! Then once we had established a decent lead make changes and bring on the youngsters! We would’ve kept the winning mentality and been really up for Millwall! I still think our 2 centre backs are vulnerable under pressure! I would like to see golambekis and morata as our centre half’s ?

dantowen819512w ago

Yeah I didn’t really understand trying to rest Bowen but then playing him for 40 minutes anyway. Seemed a bit counter-productive

gomatz772w ago

I mean Bowen playing in Championship what were we expecting. They seem like a clug on the way up next season, but what they need to do is plan better for then! You've got clubs go down cone straight up, but staying up us hard and West Ham need to build for that

markmarston2w ago

Bowen is the best player in division… probably the best player in the bottom half of the prem too 🤣

dantowen819512w ago

Mukasa is an absolute star as well! He’ll be the next Championship star to go for £30m+

adnan.riaz2w ago

I mean, they dropped from the Premier League to the Championship, so they already have better types/qualities of players than other teams that are fighting for their lives in that league. 🤷

jameslloyd14.jl2w ago

Having the highest wage bill by some distance in the league. They simply have better players than the rest of the league

pwithey12w ago

Having a high wage bill dosent guarantee quality players…it just says we have average players that are overpaid, excluding about 5 who are probably worth it, the only reason some of them are high earners is because they are on premiership wages / contracts from last season.

kilham.max2w ago

I think the quality of player is just way greater than any other team in the Championship. They're competing in the Championship with a Premier League-level team.

pwithey12w ago

Let’s be real guys…We have 4 or 5 players who have Premiership quality and that’s it, the rest are average Championship players at best…and let’s face it, we still have no quality in depth, just average players or inexperienced players, though thankfully a couple of the younger lads look like they will cut it this season.

Would you have taken Bowen at Liverpool?

dantowen819512w ago

I think part of it is that the forwards who played against Wrexham seem really well suited to each other - Taty and Piroe both love playing in a front two, and we saw signs of a telepathic understanding on Friday

leeclarke05082w ago

Was never in doubt. Maybe Nuno has found the key to take the shackles off finally.

dantowen819512w ago

That’s a big part of it I think! Playing four up top with two creative midfielders almost makes it an attacking six at times

josh.barker2w ago

Might have something to do with the squad probably being the strongest in the Championship for years

daviescallum422w ago

A higher league club in a lower league. Jarrod Bowen should be at a top PL club, it’s no wonder they’re flying really. Felt inevitable

dantowen819512w ago

I wondered if they had the creativity in the middle to actually create chances for Bowen and co - Engels and Mukasa have made a massive difference in that regard

lrandall12102w ago

They’ve basically got their premier league attack in the Championship

daviescallum422w ago

This exactly 💯

dakir.thanveer2w ago

They are a Premier League team playing in the Championship. Of course, they are going to be scoring tonnes! Bowen should be in the PL :/

eoin2w ago

Bowen has been immense. Doesnt belong in the Championship and It shows on the pitch. Wondering how many goals he can get this season

charlesjones2w ago

They’re just a level above their opponents. Been saying it since the start of the season

peter.lynch2w ago

Nuno deserved praise of course, but superb chemistry up there which is great to see. Don’t want to single out one player, but I think Bowen could hit 50 goals this season 😅😅

dantowen819512w ago

Chemistry is massive, yeah. Piroe and Taty could be a match made in heaven!

chillout2w ago

The manager - backing off and giving the team freedom to operate.
