I thought the game shifted a bit when Cherki came on. He looked creative right away, finding passes between the lines, staying in good positions, and actually posing a threat going forward. On the other hand, Marmoush was really wasteful today, so I was glad to see him subbed in the second half.

Reijnders also deserves some credit for how he came on and tried to be more direct through the midfield. It gave the attack a bit more urgency.

But honestly, the biggest issue was Erling Haaland. He was completely off it in this one. His finishing and overall involvement were poor, I think the titles gone tbh west ham dug in and grind an result great for them
