Pity the cutback was off target

Need to grab a second now while we're on top, something we haven't done well recently either

33 Moyes trying to get West Ham to go higher up towards our box, but we eventually manage to get it out through a load of white shirts.

Dom appears to be playing all over the midfield tonight

Rush 82 · « **Reply #44 on:** December 20, 2023, 08:34:48 pm »

Jones is having a really good game - sharp and committed (Elliot too)

35 Van Dijk trying a quick down field ball, towards Gomez but the ball just runs out.

He's playing with space tonight which he hasn't been getting recently.

What a ball that nearly was from Virgil, great run from Joey, just too long

Rush 82 · « **Reply #48 on:** December 20, 2023, 08:36:43 pm »

Kostas needs to catch a wake-up - not the first time he's nearly been caught on the ball

Did Endo just do Kung Fu?

Just a fraction too long - brilliant pass

36 I hope Harvey hasn't picked up a knock, he slipped before and looks a slightly in pain, Salah is warming up just in case he's needed. We get a corner, but West Ham clear.

seems OK, hopefully he's fine

39 Joe and Dom combine well and the ball is put inside and Gomez goes to kick it but then slips. He would have got a shot at the keeper there!

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #54 on:** December 20, 2023, 08:42:06 pm »

41 Gakpo and Nunez have a bit of a breakdown in communication there and lose the ball, West Ham aren't in a position to try anything.

Pace has gone out the game since the goal a bit

Quansah once again solid as a rock - plays like a veteran

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #57 on:** December 20, 2023, 08:44:09 pm »

43 Nothing much to report we have the game under control, trying to keep hold of the ball.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #58 on:** December 20, 2023, 08:45:26 pm »

44 So close to a second there, great work between Jones, Gomez and Dom who puts a decent cross in but Gakpo can't quite head it in.

Strange little passage of play - keeping the ball among the fullbacks and centrebacks without quite knowing what to do with it.
Oh my.....that was close for Gakpo

thought it was in for a sec, just the wrong side of the post

46 Ref blows promptly on 46 minutes. We are in control at the moment but would like a couple more in the second half perhaps.

Can we please get an early goal.

46 shot from Curtis, corner to reds taken quickly ball comes to Dom who gets in a dangerous cross behind for another corner which is long but cleared

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #67 on:** December 20, 2023, 09:05:31 pm »

All us, 3 corners already - battering them, must score again

Wabaloolah · « **Reply #68 on:** December 20, 2023, 09:06:18 pm »

48 brilliant from Darwin, turn in the box left footed shot behind for a corner by Areola which comes to nothing

Wabaloolah · « **Reply #69 on:** December 20, 2023, 09:07:11 pm »

49 shot from Curtis with his left foot edge of the area but dragged wide of the left post

51 great defending from Endo, wins the ball back and wins a free kick. Alvarez booked

Thank goodness Tsimikas was there.

That was a challenged designed to reduce Harvey's influence

I think he's been really good again, he's miscontrolled it a couple of times but been solid

55 2-0, Curtis Jones with a well deserved goal, lovely ball from Dawin and Curtis slots it in from a ridiculous angle with his left foot

Rush 82 · « **Reply #78 on:** December 20, 2023, 09:13:40 pm »

Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

What a goal by Curtis - he squeezed that through the narrowest of angles

Edit: through the legs of the keeper
