Tweaking Mark Noble's position might just prove to be a masterstroke from Pellegrini. Nobes has been one of our best players this season and he's proving just what a good footballer he is (note the quick ball in to Anderson for Yarmolenko's goal against United for an example of his football intelligence) now he's closer to the front four.
It's good management from Manuel, as it puts less pressure on Noble to run back. He's looking more like the forward-thinking midfielder who came into side against Crewe when he was just 16 (and was better than Roy Keane). Of course, it puts a lot more pressure on Declan Rice as the only holding midfielder, but while West Ham are attacking with such fluency it seems to be working.
