I don’t disagree with that, as I did mention how well they played when in a low and medium

I did bemoan our lack of switching up the play to create fast transitions. I thought Norwich were very predictable today and only looked threatening during the rare occasions when the team committed to more direct play. There were a few other crosses other than the Drmic chance, but then there was a total lack of movement in the box or desire to make a far post run. So yes West Ham player well with their physical style.
