    It would be beyond suicidal if we dropped points in the end for a 3rd match in a row.

    We played very well for 85’, West Ham barely threatened us (and it was from set pieces where we are weak), almost all of our starting lineup played well today. We fully deserved the win, and actually 4 points is the minimum we should have given how we’ve played so far in the Group. Let’s hope football will give us something back in England or Germany.

    Apart from that, I am really surprised how easy West Ham made the match for us. Our biggest weakness is if you apply pressure high in the pitch, from the 1st pass of our GK to our CB. We are error prone, and can’t handle pressure well. But West Ham was never pressuring the ball, they were always giving us space and tactically waiting a few meters in the back. If you had asked coach Martinez how he’d like the opponent to play, that’s what he would answer you: play like West Ham did. Either it’s a good matchup for us or Moyes didn’t bother to scout us at all.

    We’re a fully different team when Hezze and Camara both play. It allows us to use a 3 CM system and they are both high quality players. Fortounis finally starts having big European performances and Podence looks even better than when he left. The defense is overall our problem (apart from Rodinei) but well, that’s not for today.
