West Ham (A) 09/12/24

[Kenny]

Not putting my TV on so should make the evening more palatable

 

[Wilf Wolf]

It will be like being a kid watching Dr Who again - an overwhelming feeling of wanting to hide behind the sofa. Really don’t care about the result, just want GO out and at least for a day or two there’ll be a little hope. That will almost certainly end as soon as Cooper or someone equally underwhelming is announced as the new manager.

 

[Tony Towner]

I'm not going to bother until they appoint his replacement. Ridiculous situation.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I'm surprised that people aren't going to watch who are able to.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

I’ll subject myself to the misery tonight. I can’t guarantee I’ll get through the entire 90 minutes though.

 

[Jack Regan]

I'll probably find somewhere assuming I'm still standing (9.3% brune currently going down very smoothly). I can understand the apathy as we really should be heading into this game without a manager, and whatever the result tonight that should still be the case Tuesday morning.

 

[Wolftone]

I'm looking forward to the game. I'd like us to win and see Lopetegui sacked but if we get stuffed and O'Neil goes then I won't lose any sleep over it either and I'll be interested to see who his replacement is and how he does. I have no faith in Shi getting that right and without some signings in the January window we will struggle whoever is in charge.

I mean you could say the same about attending matches too

I was offered a ticket for Saturday for free but turned it down as I can think of at least 5 more enjoyable things to do.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

If I was able, yes.

But switching on the TV is somewhat different to going to a match anyway, before you consider cost, childcare etc.

 

[Jinky]

Everyone’s favourite Twitter mook Dazzling Dave has said he’s heard Dawson & Sa are both being dropped tonight. Johnstone with his ‘diving like a chopped down tree’ lightening speed back in the team.

Not GO related or even Fosun related for me...I have just developed an odd anxiety led relationship with football over the last few years. Can't explain it really as it makes no sense.

Sa being dropped is not so much of an exclusive after the last 2 games.

No Dawson so either going Beuno and Toti or popping Lemina in with them. Guess he could go full Lage and start with Andre & Lemina in defence.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Not looking Foward to it. We have a pool game and I know the shit I am going to get when we get hammered, Fortunately the Villa fan who plays for me is not there

I can empathise fully with this

 

[Tony Towner]

I think it'd be impossible to keep Sa in after the last 2 games even if replacing him with Johnstone is sub optimal. I don't think it really matters who plays at centre half, they are all below standard.

 

[jd1981]

I fully expect West Ham to create a similar level they did v Leicester and will score a few more. Our record at West Ham since Neto’s rocket in 2020 is 4-0, 1-0, 2-0, 3-0 defeats.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

They'll be playing for Antonio tonight too, if they have anything about them.

Naturally I feared for us anyway, but with this as well?

They could be playing to get Lop sacked and would still beat us by 3 or 4

It’s irrelevant they’ll win and do it with comfort, I think we got back a lot of confidence with the Southampton and Fulham results but that was destroyed and probably damaged further within 20 minutes of the Bournemouth game.
It’s one of the most if not the most mentally weak sides I’ve seen us have.
Compared the character and levels of leadership now to 2019 it’s literally night and day in difference.
