There's no doubt that the Hammers refused to turn up yesterday, but one couldn't help but notice how playing a proper has more often than not worked for us. Yesterday again, was one of those rare occasions where we played football and did cash on our footballing superiority.
Call me opportunistic or whatever, but yesterday again was evidence to the fact that Lucas is purely a DM. In fact Mascherano adds more value to the attack simply because he can play the ball better. Obviously that dosn't say much.
However, I have to admit, Lucas is an asset to the club, and is pretty decent as a back up DM to have. Cannot think of too many clubs that have as good a ball winning/game breaking midfielder for backup in the league, other than United and Chelsea.
Again, it pleases me to watch Yossi have an impact on the game. I personally rate him a lot and one would notice that he has had a part to play in a number of goals lately(whenever he's played). I would be shattered if he were to leave this summer. Quite clearly the most creative player we have.
Ngog is a cracking talent. We have to ensure we continue to develop the lad.
