West Ham (H) Post Match Thread

I know. But I bet if you stuck him there he would add more value than Marhez. Would try far harder too.
 
That’ll do City
I thought we started really brightly, could have been a couple of goals ahead early but it wasn’t to be.
Not sure what the answer is for Mahrez, he’s trying too hard and probably needs a run of games but we can’t afford to play him at the moment.
I thought the pen was nailed on in real time, it looks soft when slowed down. Bernardo’s quick feet allowed him to get in front of the defender and once he is in front the defender can’t touch him so we’ll absolutely take it, soft or not.
Job done, 3 points
 
I can see why Leroy was annoyed tonight. He made so many runs, and was free so many times but we were just too slow to move the play and spot the runner. Whilst Mahrez wasn’t great I felt sorry for him when the fans moaned at him moving offside in the first half. It wasn’t his fault but Kevin wanted two touches. Kevin seems a yard off the pace right now and clearly not yet up to speed. Thought Danny was superb tonight and broke everything up and so strong. Bernie, what can you say created havoc as soon as he came on. Yet again Eddie’s concentration was fantastic and his save excellent. A big shoutl out to Zinny what a player he is becoming never lets us down and fantastic attitude. You can see why Pep trusts him and also a class act off the field. Nice decisive early substitutions from Pep tonight.
 
Mahrez simply needs to step up or he'll be left behind, we move on and honestly cut our losses, it sounds super negative and critical but when is the penny gonna drop with him. We are an elite squad and really can't afford passengers, at least when we're battling on all fronts, to bring on both raheem and Bernardo so early will most definately not been in the script and I can't see pep being too happy at having to do it, especially when both Leroy and Mahrez are two gifted players who should be taking a game like today's by the scruff of the neck. There, rant over and breath!!!! CTID

I don’t expect 6-0, I expect it to be tidier and for us to finish games.

We play like that until the end of May and it’s Liverpool’s.

We missed chances these type of games happen during the season.
We played well tonight, We played out the last 10-15 incredibly well not giving away silly set pieces to let West Ham get up the pitch to cause us problems. It was a professional performance. Especially after putting a hell of a lot of work in on Sunday to turn up three days later with energy levels tonight is outstanding.

If you think that was "Atrocious" you may watch another sport.

3 points is all that matters.
If we’d been that profligate against a better team we would have been punished.
Sane was poor as was Mahrez. Sterling and Bernardo looked good when they came on but both had played 120 mins on Sunday and shouldn’t have been needed.
 
I think we all expected a tired performance after the last week so we can't be too critical of that. first 15 minutes we looked vibrant and dangerous, only a combination of wayward final balls and terrible finishing stopped us ending the game after 20 minutes.

After that, West ham plugged the gap on the left sacrificing space on the right but Mahrez was woeful once more against a young debutant as well which made it easy for west ham to defend. Thought it was a bit weird pep didnt give sterling on the right and Sane on the left longer than 2/3 minutes as Sane was bright first half and only faded when they realised all our threat was down the left, we instantly looked more dangerous with two wide options but then bernardo came on and within minutes did more than Mahrez did all night and won the penalty and generally looked a huge threat everytime he got on the ball.

Struggled to get out last 20 minutes as we visibly tired so credit the players for managing the game and seeing it out, helped to have our captain on the pitch, great to see him call for more from both the players and the fans.

Zinchenko continues to look more comfortable in the side however he does need to learn to spot that diagonal to the back post, almost cost us but for a superb Ederson save.

Special shout out to Danilo who was superb throughout, that's how you show you deserve to play when you're on the periphery, for me he deserves a continued run in the side, looked better than Walker this season everytime he's given a game, can only imagine he would look better still given a prolonged run. And with the return of Mendy we might see the wing back option come in to play, particularly whilst we are without dinho.
 
Just back. That was nervy. Missed some sitters. They offered nothing. Zinchenko good again. Danilo looked ok as well. Can't remember last time Silva and KdB had a good game, I wouldn't start them against Bournemouth. Mahrez getting dogs abuse at the game.

It was atrocious we were so naive on the ball tonight in most areas and a lot weren’t fighting for it.

It was one of the most wasteful displays I’ve seen from a team - not just in goal scoring chances but build up.

There’s too many happy clappers on here that get all up in arms whenever someone’s criticism.

As I say - we play like that until May and we’re comfortably behind 1st.

Criticism is fine but atrocious is way over the top IMO.
 
Mahrez wasn’t even bad to be honest, less greedy than he has been and he had some great touches. A lot of people around me just seemed to want to get on his back as soon as possible and he’s obviously become the latest boo boy on here. He’s clearly lacking a bit of confidence and negativity from fans won’t be any help to him.
