The Gunners were very poor in the first-half and the east London outfit took a well-deserved 1-0 lead into the break.
Ljungberg’s team started the second-half in the same vein, but found their form after the hour mark when Gabriel Martinelli restored parity.
The West Ham players were visibly shaken, and from there on out there was only going to be one winner.
Ljungberg addressed the media after the game and shared what he noticed about Manuel Pellegrini’s side after 60 minutes, as quoted by Football.London:
“The players did amazing. The first half we were slow, we were lethargic. We didn’t move, we didn’t run. It’s been hard on the players but I thought ‘give it a go in the second half.’ And they did that. It was amazing to see. We saw West Ham getting a bit tired around the 60th minute and we sliced them open. We played some really good football in my opinion, that’s how we want to play.”
Time for Pellegrini to go?
The Hammers have had problems in the last 30 minutes of games numerous times this season. It seems as though Pellegrini’s side cannot deal with any kind of setback.
Next up for West Ham is a trip to Southampton this weekend, and a defeat at St Mary’s could be the final straw for Pellegrini.
The Chilean is lucky to still be in a job if the truth be known. He seems to be bereft of ideas and his stubbornness could end up costing West Ham big time.
