Match Thread | West Ham vs Man City (15/05/22)

[I'm With Stupid]

Playing a high line against a team like this is criminal enough but doing it with no recovery pace at the back is even worse

This is what annoys me about Pep the most. He has a way of playing and he insists on continuing to play that way regardless of whether he has the players to do it.

put alisson in goal and neither goals go in

Or De Gea

 

[geek24601]

Disgusting performance. Goal difference being eaten into as well. Liverpool could easily put 5 past Southampton on Tuesday.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

At least he can pass

Put Laporte in goal then. He's a brilliant passer

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Not at it today. Weird how we twat wolves the. Play like we’re wearing lead boots.

Damage limitation today. Keep it at this, maybe even grab one back. Keep GD well in our favour and then batter Villa.

 

[razman]

Eddie has to do more. Isn't switched on

 

[svennis pennis]

How can we not be prepared & organised for this game ????

rushing everything. We should be playing for 0-0 today or at least make it really difficult for them with our defence.

wide open in midfield & defence since 1st minute

not sure how we can play for 0.0 with that backline. Trying to keep them as far from the goal as possible is the aim due the fact that Fern looks every day of his 37 years and Zin is a million miles off it and unable to keep the line.

 

[Mancity1980]

Damn, now we are in trouble. Fair play to West Ham they have played this game right. Crowd the box to deny space and pump balls forward to the runners. Need to change things at half time, tighten up at the back should be the priority, we need to get the next goal.

 

[christened at st marks]

I can't believe the lack of effort okay Moyes is playing a great game but just no movement off the ball they all look like Pep on the side line are well who cares

 

[glyntowen]

Why was Ederson so far out of his goal for their second. Stay on his line he saves that easily

You haven't played in goal have u?

 

[simon23]

We have been so much better of late with left foot on the left and right foot on the right…

Grealish is poor when he starts....he is better against a tired and beaten team....

Mrhez has these performances in him....he saves himself at times with coming up with goals but his overall performances are underwhelming, lacking any effort or conviction

Sterling has been poor recently and for a big part of this season-----BUT you can never doubt his effort - you cannot say the same about Mahrez

 

[bluemc1]

Even a point will be some achievement now today
Last home game, Nobles last game, crowd pumping with lead to fight to hang on to

point will feel like a win for once

 

[RandomJ]

We need a draw. Goal difference down to 5 which is doable for the dippers. Pep needs to sort this out.

 

[Goater=Legend]

When was the last time we came from 2-0 down to win in the league?

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Expecting more of the same second half 2-2 would be a miracle from this position but would feel like a win, only Gabby turned up there, Jack not bad, but too many looking for others to drag us out of the shit, every player needs to take some responsibility…..come on boys we can still do this!!!

 

[PragueBlue]

Well that first half didn't go to plan!

Defence is a bit all over the place and easy to get behind. The chances we've had have either been blocked or just wide/over, though none of them have really been clear cut.

I'd seriously look at bringing Ake on for Fernandinho and try to tighten spat the back. Foden's energy in the front 3 would also be useful.

I still think there's something in this game for us and we can get a result here if we sort ourselves out a bit.

 

[Trickyblues]

100m player my arse.

He didn’t set the price tag lol

 

[Paul1970]

45 left yet. Not worried

Wouldn’t be worried if we’re playing well but we are playing shit so you should be worried

 

[Octavian]

What a contrast from midweek vs Wolves. The defence was absolutely horrendous there for both goals. Zinchenko has been appalling.

Foden needs to be on that pitch

 

[Akiva]

We're the better team by a mile, though that second goal will be tough to come back from.

Sucks to see people turning on the players or the manager so quickly though.

I feel like nobody in here REALLY remembers 93:20 but for the last 7 minutes. No one remembers us being 2-0 down, missing chance after chance (Kenny having a worldie), the gut wrenching feeling like we really never would the title...
