Good day in the North Bank today, that Welbz goal paid my ticket back. Making a commitment to get to one game a month until my season ticket comes up on the waiting list.

Good to get a win on the board under Emery, and there were pleasing moments and a couple of good performances, but areas of concern remain. Cech should never be letting in that opener, and I can only think he’s starting due to Leno being rusty with his English at the moment, but given the two centre halves both sprechen de deutsch, I’m not sure why that’s such an issue.

Mustafi was as solid as I’ve seen him, which was heartening, and in general he and Sokratis did well, but the midfield and full backs continued to give West Ham too much space to burst forward 20 yards at a time. Looked a lot better with Lacazette up top and Auba our wide, gives much more of a focal point with Lacazette more willing to play with his back goal and more movement from Auba in the wide channels than Iwobi or Ozil will offer. Would be surprised if he doesn’t give it a go more often.
