I mean, they're front three for West Ham, you know, or four.
Lanzini, when he gets back, there's a force going forward there.
It's just being as solid at the back as they need to be to get more clean sheets.
And I think that there's definitely lots of goals in the team.
Yeah, coming in off the line, yeah.
I think that Huddersfield have been dogged, resilient and seven corners they had to deal with in the first half and a lot of pressure and actually in the end coped with it extremely well.
They put their head in, they got the bodies on the line and then they started to come and play into the game and kept West Ham frustrated and of course we don't know what the outcome might have been at the end of the game had West Ham not had such a fortunate goal.
because it wasn't really a mistake.
You could say that the early part of losing possession, not playing it back to the goalkeeper, losing possession in your own half, that cost them in the end, but it was such a fortunate goal, you don't know what might have happened.
But I think that the manager will be disappointed in his loss, but relatively happened what they stood up to, which was a real battering for me in the first half from West Ham.
You can see the relief, particularly when the second goal went in, I think.
The first goal gave them a lot of relief and then there's always that nagging feeling that 1-0 in the back of your mind, you've got the worst defensive record in the Premier League up to now.
One chance from Huddersfield, they could score and the whole night would be...
would be probably spoilt for him, but he's got his just rewards today.
However lucky it was, however it happened, it didn't matter.
It was all about the result for him today, he said that.
I thought his tactics were spot on.
I thought they nullified Huddersfield, really, and really put an awful lot of pressure on Huddersfield, particularly in the first half.
My credit goes to Huddersfield.
They stood up to all that pressure and came out of that.
