And I love his attitude.
I thought last year he came into the Premier League a bit of a breath of fresh air.
You know, he's old school.
I said before the game, he's fantastic aerial ability at a far post is going to cause anyone problems.
And to have the week that he's had, it must have been a nightmare, Mark.
He didn't hazard the weekend, doesn't really want to play right back, got his opportunity to play slightly further forward, and he took it.
And he was hard to pick a man in a match.
I agree to what Alan said in commentary, it really was, because it was a game that lacked quality.
But for...
Slav and Bilic, I think they have to go a long way this season to get a better feeling, more of a relief from any three points he wins this season.
To not have Lanzini and Payet and Carroll and Ayew and those players.
They're the players that make a difference in this team.
So that was a huge three points for West Ham.
Make no mistake, and it gives them a lot of confidence to enjoy this place now.
And it will start to feel more like home every week now.
Bournemouth were much better in the second half now, weren't they?
But did West Ham just edge it, do you feel?
Yeah, and obviously the sending off had a big bearing on things.
Arthur leaving the pitch swung the momentum back in West Ham's favour because Bournemouth had done really well.
Whatever the manager, I don't know whether it was a holistic approach at half-time or whether he got stuck into them good old-fashioned, they came out a better team.
