That is all ...........
same reason as all the above... it's one of the great mysteries of West Ham.
I mean, truth be told we don't actually have any decent midfield players, so there's no decision making to be done.
Noble whatever you think of him isn't a quick thinker. He might be local and all that but in terms of a midfield general - he's nothing.
And we have no flair midfielder... I know Anderson is suppose to be that but he's too fupping lazy and inconsistent. When he bothers to play, we do well... but those games are getting fewer and farther between.
We're the club f Brooking, Devonshire, Brady, etc...
We don't have that - and it's one of our biggest problems...
Yes, the defense is mis-firing on all cylinders... but we have pretty much zero midfield, so our game goes from attack... straight to defend because there's nothing to hold things up in the middle.
Our game then goes from defense to... kinda nowhere and back to defense - again, cos there's no midfield to hold the game, direct the game or boss the game.
Lanzini and Anderson might be too similar to be useful together... Lanzini has the excuse of a long injury lay-off but he's still a 6 out of 10 even at his best.
Anderson is marginally better but definitely needs someone to grab him by the scruff and kick his arse into shape because his lack of effort is getting very very boring.
