West Ham (A) - 27/02/22 Build-Up & Match Thread

[StuardoWulf]

Is there anyone who wouldn’t be deliriously happy with a point?

I wouldn’t I want 3 points

 

[Throbber3]

No cap for fabianski. Strange

 

[Nando]

Really good start from Fabio and Trincao.

 

[The Bear]

Positive start at least.

 

[StuardoWulf]

Wow Fabio pressing hard

 

[Jinky]

Took Trincao 4 minutes to duck out of a challenge. Heart of a pea, that lad.

Took Trincao 4 minutes to duck out of a challenge. Heart of a pea, that lad.

Didn't even bother putting his foot in.

 

[Alan]

Come on lads, give me at least one thing to cheer this week.

 

[Alan]

Maybe we flip Trincao back to Portugal to break even.

 

[The Bear]

Unlucky Silva lost sight of that. Would have been in.

 

[Throbber3]

Really good start from Fabio and Trincao.

Bouncing off Trincao . He is powder puff

 

[StuardoWulf]

good by trincao there out of defence

 

[The Bear]

Hwang brings the ball forwards twice and both times he's constantly looking back for a pass backwards.

 

[The Bear]

Playing some decent stuff at least. Just need a better ball into the box.

 

[Jinky]

Playing nice stuff but just no idea who’s going to actually put the ball in the net.

 

[The Bear]

To be fair we look like the home team so far, with WHU hitting us on the break.

Keeping the ball much better. Just got to work it into someone's feet in the box.

 

[Jinky]

Far too much tippy tappy stuff and the players are far too comfortable to play it safe sideways or backwards. Eventually you need someone to take a risk or to actually try to do something productive with a pass.

If it carries on like this then we’ll lose this game, purely because we have no one capable of putting in the right final pass or shot.

 

[The Bear]

Nothing between us according to Alan Smith's action areas stat.

Completely ignoring the fact we've had 60% possession.

 

[StuardoWulf]

dendonker Turns attack into horseshoe of death and loss of possession

 

[Alan]

It's incredible that we're so high in the table and yet I can't remember the last time I thought to myself, "wow, we've really given those defenders a rough time of it today".

We scarcely seem interested in dragging CBs around. Am I missing something?
