West Ham (A) 17/12: Build-Up & Match Thread

[t3ch]

Bentley wasn't getting anywhere close to that free kick.

That’s generally applicable to most keepers when the ball is hit several feet outside the frame

Good recovery from Kilman there.

How on earth is Cunha still on the pitch? Mental there haven't been any attacking changes.

We haven no one else

We’ve been alright only in a ‘pretty shit’ way. We’re literally not getting points for a decent 15 minutes once we’re two down against a team doing rock all. This is poor and it’s a trend now.

Our overall play has been decent; patient and controlled. The worry is that we're still horrendously hesitant to exploit space when our movement creates it. Perhaps because they know that anything hit at Bentley will go in.

We're not far off being a good attacking side but that last step is a massive one and it doesn't seem to be getting better even by small degrees.

 

[Tony Towner]

Naked eye that ain't getting ruled out.

Plenty of people posted on this thread that it was off before the lines came out

 

[Squeak]

All these 3 to 5 foot passes going absolutely nowhere...someone needs to teach these fuckers where the goal is...

 

[Banjo]

Best parts of the match have been (i) the chicken balti pie I had around 35 mins and (ii) the second one I had at half time.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

As crap as we have been, we probably get a point today with Sa in goal.

I don't rate either Kalajdzic or Silva but the collective output of the attackers today has effectively been zero, may as well roll the dice on that.

Fine going forward. It's defensively we've been awful. All their goals have been very basic.

Our passing from midfield into the front three has been diabolical.

Nah second goal was a good finish that was more down the build up

 

[YoungWolf]

Our attacking play has not been good at all. Equally as shit in and out of possession

 

[Langers]

West Ham won't get many easier games than this. They've looked dangerous every time they've come at us, and we've looked so fragile at the back.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Coufal going full Ben Thatcher....again.

Cunt.

 

[Squeak]

Good refereeing that. Bellegarde clearly is stunned after that challenge.

 

[HanDoJin]

Bellegarde has a bit of the Gladstone Smalls about him

 

[Tony Towner]

We haven no one else

After the 3rd that doesn't really matter though, especially when we again look leggy

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Not that good, he thinks Coufal's ABHs have only warranted 1 yellow card in total.

Yeah once it had been freeze framed.
