West Ham (A) 27/9 Build up

[slink]

Neves should do better there.

 

[AndyWolves]

Right, let's have a much better second half please boys

 

[Premier Quality]

Awful first half, Nuno will give them a roasting at half time

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Now we can't be negative on a match day thread but

That was some disjointed slow paced shit from wolves

 

[prawnking]

Donck for Saiss and switch Boly over.

We're losing, not protecting a lead. Get Silva and Vitinha on.

 

[Alan]

Need some desperate words now. That was properly bad.

 

[Wolvensam]

Bring Donk on. Moutinho and Neves does not work

 

[Deleted Cyber]

West Ham will regret not killing this game off first half.

 

[Alan]

We're losing, not protecting a lead. Get Silva and Vitinha on.

Equally, we can't afford to give up another goal from a defensive lapse.

 

[Alan]

West Ham will regret not killing this game off first half.

Cautiously agree.

 

[YoungWolf]

Poor first half, they deserve to be ahead and on another day could be 2-0. Worrying how easily they are breaking and running at us. Think midfielders need to do more in that aspect to prevent the passes into the forwards feet. Maybe Donck could help with that but think Neves and Moutinho can and should do better second half.

Need to get the ball to Neto way more often. Some really good movement and turning to play forwards from him. Much more likely to create than letting Adama run to the line and cross it

Bring Donk on. Moutinho and Neves does not work

I mean, this quite simply isn’t true

 

[Wolvensam]

I mean, this quite simply isn’t true

In this particular game, it is.

 

[Alan]

I mean, this quite simply isn’t true

Not really seeing proof to the contrary at the moment.

Front three very disappointing. I don't expect Semedo to be doing much else but bedding in, we all know what Vinagre is, but it's disappointing that Raul, Neto and Traore have played enough games together to understand how the system works. Too much individualism and trying to beat four or five men.

 

[Tredman]

It’s definitely true this season. Donk was excellent first game, neither Moutinho or Neves have been as good since.

 

[Templeton Peck]

We're losing, not protecting a lead. Get Silva and Vitinha on.

Antonio Saiss is a complete mismatch.

System is all wrong, too many gaps between players when we have it and when we don't. Not coping with anything down our left at all and Antonio is bullying everyone that comes near him but we aren't stopping balls in to him. Relying on Neto and Adama bursts of speed rather than link up play which actually got us our best chance with the Neves shot at the end. Midfield is too light weight and not athletic enough against Soucek and Rice and we have somehow got out of that half at 1-0.

No idea why Nuno has gone away from the shape that we started the game against Sheff Utd with and no idea why Dendoncker who was fantastic in that game is now out of the team, we miss his legs in there massively imo.

 

[YoungWolf]

Not really seeing proof to the contrary at the moment.

Last two years is quite good evidence

 

[The Bion]

We seem to be playing a really, really high line. Like, Southampton vs Spurs suicidal kind of high. Not quite sure if this is part of the plan to keep the ball more (?)

Really missing Podence's movement. I'd think about Silva on and moving Neto in behind the front 2 - Raul needs some help
