West Ham 5/4 Build-Up & Match Thread

[Tredman]

FUCK OFF WITH A FUCKING BACK 4.

 

[The Bear]

Fuck this. I'm sticking a film on.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Fucking hell.

This is rancid.

 

[t3ch]

really nice build up from them on that one tbf. but fuck sake

 

[Jinky]

Game over. 13 minutes.

Lovely stuff. Great to see the players up for it.

 

[Del Woppio]

Oh Nelson

 

[redvictor]

As i said, suicide.

 

[slink]

It's not just about centre backs, that's very naive. Yes better centre backs help but we're far too nice off the ball, we're very reluctant to stop counter attacks and we still have this weird obsession of vacating the centre of midfield. It's poor all round.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Just fuck off. Absolutely fucking disgraceful.

 

[visage]

How the fuck can he be there, centre of the box, 8 yards out, with no defender anywhere near him?

 

[Jack Regan]

Pathetic stuff.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

The backline aren't the only ones who have to defend. The midfield are offering no protection at all, they haven't got the mobility to play high up the pitch, it leaves too much space that they can't cover quickly enough.

 

[YoungWolf]

Two embarrassing goals

 

[prawnking]

Only we haven't got them yet, so it's suicide to play in this formation.

Come on, we have our captain who also plays for England, a regular CB starter for Morocco, a £30m signing from Barca and a young lad who we'll likely be spending big on in the summer. It's hardly like we've chucked the u-23s in.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Right, who is making an excuse for Nelson there then?

 

[Tredman]

It’s almost like our tactics, signings, mentality and ethos are all about not playing this formation. It was fucking stupidity last time and it’s still fucking stupidity now.

 

[YoungWolf]

The backline aren't the only ones who have to defend. The midfield are offering no protection at all, they haven't got the mobility to play high up the pitch, it leaves too much space that they can't cover quickly enough.

The whole team needs to play closer though. So far away, and not aggressive enough when pressing

 

[Freddeno]

This defending is absolutely abysmal.

 

[northfield wolf]

iM LOCKING MYSELF IN THE GARAGE, WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Absolute tripe
League one standard defending from our 29 m right back.

Embarrassed
