West Ham should have banged in more goals, especially from the diabolical set piece defending.
Would absolutely agree that injuries to key midfielders arent helping them, but Fabinho and Keita were brought in as 1st team players, not squaddies. They need to be way way way better if they are to have a chance.
Look, my betting syndicate backed Liverpool pre-season to win, so im hoping it happens from a strictly financial point of view. But if i was betting now, I'd back a City/Spurs 1,2.
(mainly because the odds for reds/citeh are 1.00000000000001, so theres that).
