Full credit to the lads off the bench today, completely changed the game and got us a win. Fair play to all of them but I think chilly and broja need a special mention.
Chilwell is just such an offensive weapon going forward, he did more in that cameo than cucurella has done so far this season in terms of threat going forward. I'm all for easing him back after his injury but he needs to be starting with James on the other side if we have any chance of doing anything this season. We have no real attacking threat from wide so need chilwell and James to provide it for us.
Broja gives us something completely different and something we needed today up top. As soon as he came on the game changed, their back line had to sit up and take notice. The way he puts himself about and presses along with his physicality gave us that other dimension to actually hurt west ham.
For me I'd start both in Europe on Tuesday as I feel they deserve it. Would like to see a lineup of
Kepa
James-fofana-silva, KK- chilwell
Kova-RLC
Havertz. Sterling
Broja
Super subs

agree with Broja changing the feel of the game as he is surprisingly quick, i think it shocked west hams defence too

Chillwell for me was class when he came on today. Also, Broja was a threat, actually should've started imo.

Surely Silva needs a rest at some point
Could play Cucu LCB and Chilwell LWB
----------------------------------------------------------------------
i would drop cucarella to the bench, bring in chilly, move fofane to the middle and use azpi in europe
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thing is cucurella has been one of our best players. Be good if we could get them both on

Christ, what a cynical, win at any cost attitude.
The game wasn't won from the bench, it was won by a keeper that blatently fiegned injury, knowing our useless VAR system would come down on his side.
He has been publically called out as a cheat by all and sundry on national TV, including David Moyes ( don't like him , but spoke the truth )
And all you can say is yeah, a good win.
Facking amazing.

Who is the all and sundry and I guess pulling a opponents hair aggressively is not win at all costs.

So our goals and assists didn't come from substitutes ? A foul is a foul and Bowen left a foot in on Mendy to try and dive for a pen so his cheating actually back fired. And if your talking about VAR failing again yesterday, your right it missed the Antonio sending off for getting Silva in a headlock

It's not rocket science. Chilwell is more direct, gets behind defences and stretches play and a centre forward occupies and frightens defences. Playing with three false nines allows the opposition defence time and space. Chilwell and Broja took that comfort away.

Maybe he same VAR team that missed romero playing hairdresser for cucurella. Or just making up for their first goalscorer still being on the pitch after the wrestling moves earlier. you chose as you are the mouthpiece of the nation.

I'd have thought you'd still been too embarrassed to show your face round here after VAR assisted point - you know it's bad when you have the officials telling you they facked you over!
What a whopper SandyF is!
