I get Sessegnon
I don’t get Clarke but we’re quickly judging him as fans when we haveNt seen him play
We look like we are getting better as a team over the last couple of games and showing some fluidity. Hugo is starting to look like a very good keeper again, Sancheh and Dier are starting to boss the middle of our defense and Lo Celso is becoming a top player for us.
Kane looked a lot better ( then he did against Utd) and his goal was finished well, and both Berjwin and Moura were a constant threat to the Spammers. All in all it was a good win, went for Lo Celso as MOM but thought Dier was very good as well.
Agree with this. I think you can really see it defensively. United and West Ham struggled to create against us except for mistakes from our players. And that's a danger, we have some very error prone players but you can really see a difference in how we are defending. I said it last night on this thread but it's very noticeable on set pieces. I don't know enough about it but it seems like the coaches have a good idea where the real danger areas are and make sure we have a player there to clear the danger. Time and again, we're getting corners and free kicks cleared. It was the same under Poch in the second and third season. Even when individual mistakes were made, we had someone there covering the danger.
Last night was the first game I felt we really controlled in forever - probably since Burnley at home earlier in the season and even then, that was a bit of a mauling whereas last night we controlled it and had to be patient. It's only West Ham, and they are poor, but I'm optimistic about the rest of the season now.
It really tinkles me off that the headlines are "Kane scores first goal in 2020", hes played 3 games, got injured in the first and been laid off for almost 6 months. I wonder if we see such headlines when Rashford scores his 2nd goal in the league in 2020, hes not scored since January.
I like Sess but there is little chance of him getting a run at our place ATM. We didn't need to get him but we are always frightened of missing out in these situations.
Clarke, yet another punt.
it all feels very scattergun and haphazard?
"If Dad was in charge..."
He was seriously suggesting that Noble would out pass Lo Celso
Sessegnon, whether a Levy/committee or Poch signing, was not scattergun. We were linked with him for two seasons prior.

Agreed. Didn't he make the Championship team of the season the year Fulham got promoted? Despite a lacklustre season in the Prem, I didn't hear too many dissenters when we signed him.Sessegnon, whether a Levy/committee or Poch signing, was not scattergun.

Wonder if Mourinho responsible for these today, as no pre-game press conference to stat attack Judas Redknapp for over a week?!
