- Played at a pedestrian pace for the first 60 mins (till the West Ham goal). Only Hwang and to a lesser extent Rice were trying to up the tempo
- West Ham goal out of nowhere with Wolves poor defending
- Game got better after the goal
West Ham focus
- Antonio looked better than he has looked recently. Could have played a few better passes during counterattacks
- Bowen playing almost like a 2nd striker. He is not involved much in buildup and progression. Good for FPL
- Cresswell and Bowen on set pieces
- Rice is amazing. An all-round midfielder. But, he failed to up their tempo most of the game. Whether this came from Moyes instruction or not is unknown. If Rice moves to a possession-heavy team, he will be tasked with setting the tempo of the game
Wolves focus
- Silva is not a target man to play counterattacks with. His game improved significantly when Wolves started to attack and Silva could find little pockets of space in the final third
- Wolves can park and defend their box. Let's see how this team evolves next
- Sa was excellent
- Kilman has been good this season. But, he needs to move to the left side to get the best out of him when his team has possession.

- Jesse March is the new manager of Leeds and in this thread, I would describe what I expect from Leeds in the coming games
- Marsch is a RB graduate who has worked with Ralf Rangnick closely and has been influenced by Ralf's philosophy
- In short, then, you would expect transition-based attacking football where pressing will be a primary weapon of chance creation
Similarity with Bielsa
- Both managers like attacking football and their teams thrive in transition
- Good sign for Leeds' attacking assets
What I expect to change from Bielsa's Leeds
- Out of possession, Bielsa played a unique man-marking style all over the pitch. This leads to 1v1 duels all over the pitch all the time...

- Foden played as a false 9. KDB at left mid and Bernardo right mid. Bernardo played a bit deeper. Foden took corners from the right and KDB from the left. Their attack is much better with KDB in it (obviously)...
... Jesus first choice on the right now, I think. Jack growing in confidence. Played brilliantly and could have had 2 goals.
- Chelsea played an extremely low block. 5-3-2 formation. Think Timo is preferred in the big games when Chelsea play on the counter
#MUNAVL
- Bruno shared direct free kick with Ronaldo. Bruno on pens. United had enough opportunities to win. But, bad decisions in the final third let the team down. United still struggling in defensive transition.
- Villa set-piece routine innovative. Will score a few goals.
