People need to be a little bit more objective about what happened in the game. We weren't just poor throughout. We were absolutely dominating till Pogba's handball. We lacked width in the first half, due to TFM and Williams being utterly useless at providing any form of width, not even being in the right positions for their teammates to open up crossing opportunities. This made it very difficult to for us to break them down. In addition, neither Bruno or Pogba were providing any cutting passes, they were far more cautious than usual.
In the second half, after the Greenwood goal, our legs went and West Ham started attacking more. More importantly, Bowden started attacking Williams, who literally could not stop him in anyway. Every single attack we would have that broke down would be gotten by Bowden, who would then run 40 yards up the pitch with Williams literally providing no threat to his run. You would think he had forgotten how to make a tackle. Macguire and Matic were doing a lot of cleaning up for him today. Furthermore, we still struggle from set pieces, Literally every set piece they had seemed threatening because we found it difficult to clear. McGuire needs a stronger partner, because in the premier league, lower teams take them seriously.
