da apostebet: West Ham United fans had more to be pleased about against Arsenal than they had done against Newcastle United, though that isn’t a very high bar for them to have got over.
da bwin: It was a resolute performance at the Emirates, though it eventually wasn’t enough, as Eddie Nketiah’s goal in the 85th minute meant the Hammers remain pointless after two Premier League games.

While the claret and blue army will give certain players credit for their individual performances, it is unlikely Moyes will be getting too much appreciation for the decisions he made.
One of those which has caused fury among West Ham fans is the decision to leave Josh Cullen out completely, with the Republic of Ireland international not even being given a place on the bench.
A fan looked back at how Carlos Sanchez was often given a place on the bench as a benchmark, while another hinted that this attitude is what led to the departures of Grady Diangana and Jeremy Ngakia.
This feeling is only made stronger following his performance in the Hammers’ 3-0 Carabao Cup win over Charlton Athletic, in which the 24-year-old was named Man of the Match.
During that match, he completed three tackles, two interceptions and maintained a pass success rate of 92% – one of those passes, which was clipped over the top to Andriy Yarmolenko, created Sebastien Haller’s second of that match.
Whether he should have started against the Gunners is another question, but fans have been left frustrated after he wasn’t even afforded a place on the bench.
