@The Skipper, to answer your question: we have played alright in the first half. Not good, but not bad either...
West Ham is defending with 11 men, so it is hard to break through their defense. Things are quite difficult and the lack of space is huge!
We have tried with some mid-range shots (a few quite dangerous, btw), but at the end of the day we have just been way too bureaucratic with our passing and movement. We need more creativity and speed, but it isnt like the players haven't tried. We even look like Barcelona in a bad day (where the players keep passing to the side while doing nothing productive), but it isnt like we stunk. The only thing that has truly been horrible is our set-pieces, other than that, things were at least decent!
Overall, I would realistically give us a 55/100 for our first half performance.
