I liked Henderson's hustle, just before half-time whistle, that resulted in the west ham player dribbling himself out of bounds. They really had their tails up and were launching balls into our box, that bit of chicken-without-a-head-hustle forced the turnover and forced the ref to call time
We absolutely deserve the lead. They are meat and potatoes kind of a team...protect the flanks, no silly fouls in the vicinity of the goal and we'll take them apart. Just keep the same intensity!
I thought we looked really good in the first half, just some poor finishing (3-4 Suarez shots that he typically puts 1-2 in). Sterling had a few good chances, love how he's playing today. Finally got the deserved goal at the end of the half. Me thinks we'll come out and drop 2-3 more as the Hammers try to get one back.
Key is not to let the intensity drop in the opening exchanges of the second half which is when normally concede from silly positions.
Really been impressed with Allen this game, his and Hendersons pressing have been the difference. Get in 2-0 Come on Owen Goal match the Suarez performance against Norwich
As it stands we are above man city and a point of chelsea. Allen and sterling have really stood up these past 2 games.
Keeping intensity up after scoring a second is good to see. Gerrard limping off ahead of our key stretch of away matches is bad to see.
Sktrel laying it on for Sakho was classic. Wish Sakho could have finished it off. Love the defenders getting in on the fun.
