Match Thread | West Ham vs Man City (07/08/22)

[FantasyIreland]

Grealish had a very good first half.Foden and Haaland working well too.Haaland will hopefully shut the dickheads up a bit now.

Kev anonymous and Cancelo more a liability than an asset,again.

 

[madloaf]

So is Jack Raz this season?

If he ends up with 120 goals, how many assists and multiple titles - i'll be fine with that.

 

[Keeper!]

Grealish has done fine but he has to show far more, always the easy option, show you belong in this team Jackie boy.

 

[CityBluez]

I don’t think he has a choice with cancello with him.

There are time when cancelo is no where near. He just cant make quick decisions. Holding on to the ball too long , waiting to be fouled. Maybe he should play in the middle.

 

[SebastianBlue]

So ball retention with barely any attacking?

I agree they will tire but it was a poor showing.

I think you may want to go watch the Liverpool and United matches and then come back to us with your thoughts about our first 45 minutes of the season being a “poor showing”.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

That yoga celebration is going to evaporate gallons and gallons of piss this season.

I can’t wait to see him do it at the Swamp and Klanfield, sat there chilled while being pelted with coins and spit.

 

[Zenmanc]

So is Jack Raz this season?

If the negative posters here didnt have someone they could scapegoat mercilessly vs. support and encourage they'd have no reason to post.

 

[daflanger]

I think everybody is forgetting that its a hot day and this can drain the players. So they need to slow down the game to keep the energy levels!

We are still very rusty but eventually we will get there! Also the players need to look for Erling when crossing a bit more. All our crosses bar the one from Foden where never close or around him!

 

[baggy]

Controlled the pace of the game and reduced the crowd to almost library levels of noise. Excellent 1st half imo.

 

[PhdWave]

Really good performance..Cancelo is just amazing. KDB is not getting the ball much interestingly. Come on lads kill the game!

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Good half I thought. After the first 2 mins West Ham have hardly had the ball.

We need to create a bit more but apart from that I thought we were good. I think we can raise it a bit more second half though and we will get at least one more goal.

Brilliant pen from Haaland, right in the corner. No one is saving that.

 

[handsofstone]

People slagging Grealish off again. Sigh.

Fucking morons.

I mean, he really has been poor

He just doing nothing...not taking on his man, his crosses aren't landing, he's just been soooo passive it's

 

[bert38]

Grealish has played well. Looks eager, working hard, decisive. Bit unbalanced with two right footers on the left mind.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

All his own doing ,hope pg gives him a bollocking for that gesture ,no need for it.

Take him off and put Zinche….
No. Wait a minute.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

The foul on Grealish. I still find it astonishing that the VAR doesn’t or can’t or won’t interfere.

Decent 1st half in tropical circumstances. We control it, but a second would help to what is always an uneasy score line.

No idea why they can't ask a ref to review a yellow? The rules suck

 

[bluealf]

My god that turn of speed from Haaland was frightening.

A scouse **** at work has told me all week Haaland won't be able to handle the pace of the prem.

Monday can't come soon enough.

 

[discopop]

are you serious?

this guy is getting headlines everywhere, he is a superstar

He’s very serious it was pretty much the first thing out of Jone’s mouth. They fear him being a success

 

[urban genie]

Patient first half in unusual heat, some sloppy passing from all the midfield and shithousery from WHU and Oliver.

Overall though we a re doing fine, need to release early balls to Haaland on the move rather than where the last 2 years we would short pass to death

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Bullshit.

Do you think walker and cancelo two top international full backs aren't capable of doing an overlap? They've clearly been instructed not to. They are more than capable.

Err. Walker is a right back, so how that affects Grealish’s flank, only you can explain. As for Cancelo, his whole game from the left is about inverting into the middle. So no, neither are going to overlap Grealish.

 

[homerdog]

That was a crap half. Erling won and scored the goal all by himself from an overcooked pass from gundo in one of the only times he was played through...

Grealish useless, foden decent, kev nowhere, gundo frustrating....A whole lot of watching our defenders pass it around.

This is why there should be a dislike button!
