West Ham (A) Match Thread

[Jinky]

This is a really frustrating watch at the moment. We seem so half arsed about everything.

 

[Leigh Griffiths' Hairline]

Really poor game from both sides so far.

 

[Jinky]

Shocking pass out from the back from Boly and shocking challenge to try and win it back from the same player.

Good chance for West Ham.

 

[jdrodrigues]

Dangerous setpiece

It's a strange tempo, West Ham are offering fuck all really and we're trying to work out how to break them down. I don't think it's half arsed, more too ponderous. We can't play our faster more free-flowing stuff as we haven't got the room to do it.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I think we will have more fun in the second half with Adama running at this lot.

 

[Boozad]

Great little burst from Moutinho there and a much better cross. We've put a fair few in today for a team that doesn't cross.

 

[StuardoWulf]

for so much quality our final balls are awful

 

[playtheace]

Wish Doc would just cross the fucking thing

I think this is probably his type of game, he'll either run them ragged or draw free kicks.

 

[Boozad]

He's played pretty well so far, especially timing his runs and his positioning but yeah his crossing is fucking awful.

 

[Jinky]

Wish Doc would just cross the fucking thing

Yeah, he’s very guilty of holding up our play. Johnny has been poor too.

 

[Alan]

FFS, Costa, you don't have to dribble past the whole fucking opposition. Just lay it off to someone!

 

[playtheace]

Moutinho is the best player on the pitch..looks different class

 

[Johnny75]

Yeah, he’s very guilty of holding up our play. Johnny has been poor too.

I can't understand that. Jonny may cut onto his right foot a lot but defensively he's been outstanding. I think we look in control. Jota not at the races yet though.

 

[Loki]

If we score the crowd will be on their backs. If they score I fear we are in trouble.

 

[The Bear]

Yep, quality.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Anyway, at least we aren't Villa fans...

 

[Jinky]

I can't understand that. Jonny may cut onto his right foot a lot but defensively he's been outstanding. I think we look in control. Jota not at the races yet though.

He’s been fine defensively but we expect more than just that from our full backs in this system. He’s chosen the easy option every time when in possession (i.e. passed the ball backwards).

Tbh I'd rather we pass it backward and maintain possession than try to nutmeg every single defender on the way to actually doing fuck all and losing it.
