Quite a few fans picked up on the way Lucas Paqueta celebrated Danny Ings' second goal against Nottingham Forest, arms outstretched, as if he'd scored himself. Paqueta had done really well to flick the ball over a defender, outmuscle a challenge and find Benrahma, whose run and cross set up Ings. Was that the moment Paqueta showed that he had adapted to the physicality of the Premier League? Lucas had his best game in a West Ham shirt on Saturday. He was unlucky not to score but more importantly dominated the game, being involved in just about everything in midfield. With Rice disciplined in the holding role and Soucek more advanced the central midfield trio all had good games. It's been a long time coming but finally Paqueta's starting to look like the player WHU paid £51 million for.
