Thought we played OK in the first half. Bissouma hasn't been great, but overall its been fairly comfortable. Early goal in 2nd half and we can shut up shop then go home.

We are incredibly vulnerable. Don't think we've done enough business. A couple of injuries to key players and we look really thin again. Nothing on the bench really apart from Richarlison and wing back cover.
We already have injuries to a couple of key players (Romero and Bentancur). We’ve also got Lucas out, and have Lenglet and Skipp on the bench. What are you talking about?

Such a strange half. Played at little more than walking pace yet filled with errors from both sides as though it were a frantic end-to-end cup match. Bissouma is better than that but I think the card got to him a little and West ham are playing a bit of a mid block, so he doesn't want to turn on the ball.

Certainly thought they'd be putting us under more pressure, but maybe they're playing the same game as us - conserving energy for a push in the 2nd half.

Odd game this. West Ham have been passive as fuck and just let our ball-Playing limited back line to have it. We’ve been in control but wish we’d move the ball a bit quicker at times. It’s being played at a snails pace but assume Conte doesn’t mind it too much.

Bissouma has been well off the pace and looks inhibited now by his stupid yellow. Kulu and Kane both looking sharp. Son is just being this season’s Son. Really needs something flukey to go his way to get something rolling.

Perisic and Royal both decent.

There’s goals here for us if we can up the tempo.

Hope the second half is controlled and relaxed as that for us. I'll take an entire season of this.

Bissouma just looks really nervous. He knows hes playing badly and doesnt want to make any mistakes, so is just playing it safe and still making mistakes. He needs to play through it but the booking worries me. Strange half, it feels very open, but i think weve edged it. West ham have played within themselves so expect a lot of pressure in the 2nd half. Perisic has been great.

We’re quite a difficult watch really.

It would look better if we played at a faster pace. But there is always one pass backwards too many. There were numerous times where we got into their third then we passed backwards and then just stayed there

Yeah, I agree, but I think the early booking has subdued him a bit.
