About this episode
Jack and Cal break down West Ham's 0-2 win against Manchester United in the Premier League, discussing how Graham Potter set the Hammers up, just how indispensable Tomáš Sou?ek is, the balance between possession-based football and the counter-attacking strengths of Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus, the return to the 5-3-2, how West Ham coped without Lucas Paquetá, the inclusion of Guido Rodríguez and whether he's just been Cresswelled, what changed in the second half, the announcement that Aaron Cresswell, Vladimír Coufal, Danny Ings and ?ukasz Fabia?ski will be leaving after this season, what all that means for the future, whether the game at Old Trafford has uncovered glimmers of hope and much more.
