West Ham (A) - EFL Cup R4 - Post-Match Thread

Not too disappointed about going out - we’ve had a great run. Pep’s going to get his wish now, he will be asked if he need a striker!

we played an incredibly strong team full of first team players. Only Cole Palmer was inexperienced and I thought he was one of the best players.

what’s the point in spending millions on players and not rotating the team

It’s not the rotation it’s the volume of rotation. Nothing to do with cost it’s about balance
 
That is exactly the way United will set up and play against us now they've been found out and are desperate to stabilise the ship.
Everything was too slow tonight although our build up play was good determined defenders stopped the final pass or we simply miss controlled or misplaced the final pass. Its worrying we cant finish against determined defensive sides and that can only be down to the lack of a proper striker in those tighter moments when you simply have to score. Ake, Stones and Sterling all looked the gift horse in the mouth tonight. I'm hoping we can somehow correct it but it's cost us tonight and if we don't put it right it will cost us again.

As we did just a few months back. It was incredibly exciting to be in the latter stages of all four competitions. We were just three matches away from winning them, too.
I'll never be blasé about the league cup because time was when I would have been absolutely made up to be at Wembley in any kind of final. And that's still the case, in fact.

Couldn’t have put it better myself.
 
The media dickheads will now consider this a major trophy and along the lines of the FA cup. Pathetic.
We lost on penalties to a team that didn’t want to attack when playing at home.
 
right am off to bed
had enough of the moaners wanting more and more ? glory hunters
been a manchester city fan all my life and losing a cup game is like water of a ducks back for me

like i said am proud of the 5000 fans going down to london midweek and was loud and proud and backed to team
things like that mean more to me knowing our fans are truly the best in all the land and all the world

We didn't concede. Hard to blame the defence. Let's stop the blame game.

Pisses me off when Ake gets so much stick when he rarely lets us down. Like tonight he misses the target and its his fault that we`ve lost.
Too many bell ends on this forum at times.

West Ham are at least a well coached and organized, United haven't worked on that shape, or any shape apparently, all season.

United should think about getting West Ham's coach in, I think he'd do a good job there. ;)

He didn’t miss the easiest one mate. I thought he wasn’t too bad, he’s just too slow and predictable on the ball. We have a squad where they’re all jostling for a place and hopefully improving each other. HAMMERS never looked like scoring whereas we just spunk away chance after chance.

No. I'm blaming gundogan. The fact that he didn't take part is what is annoying me. If he'd have taken one and missed I wouldn't be bothered.

He was poor tonight…. But there was still one penalty to take out of the 5….so that is a little unfair because he could have been taking the crucial penalty
