West Ham United (A) | Sun 7th Aug | Post Match Thread

I don’t think they are seriously criticising, rather a comparison which confirms we did the right thing to let him go. People were asking whether we would miss his pace and his goals. The answer is no.

But you can't compare the 2 one is a wide player, and one is an out and out striker, and we did miss a bit of width today in my opinion

 

[yeah whatever !!]

How City getting Haaland for less money than Chelsea paid for Cucurella is great for Livarpoools quad chances.

Oh I’m singing the blues, City win and United lose!!!

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

I remember a certain striker scoring two on his city debut. He turned out alright as well.

Trevor Francis and Sergio. Both great players

 

[tommybooth]

That will do pig.

Still a bit rusty but in a few games when Pep has them purring we'll hand out a few bummings.
Like that 3rd kit too.

Have Barcelona put a bid in yet?

Nah, RM bound

 

[Chak19]

Well pretty good weekend ain't it ?

From Sadcafe....

Something tells me City planned this signing all along. I think they always wanted Haaland and used Ronaldo to play us for fools, thus, giving them a free run at him.
Christ, we're a shit show in comparison these days and damn it hurts.

I expected a much tougher game today but after a frantic opening few minutes we totally controlled the game. West Ham just couldn't get the ball. Every player was superb, Cancelo and Grealish got better and better as the game went on too. A great weekend, the scouse scum dropping points and the rags getting beat.

Business as usual ..

A very good, controlled performance.

I was delighted, as I’m sure we all were that Erling got off the mark. And with a penalty, too! I know it’s only one, and others have looked good with their first, but even in that department, Håland looks a cut above. I don’t think he will have any problems adapting to the Premier League.

The Hammers never really looked a threat, though at 0-0 or 1-0, there is always the possibility of an upset. The second goal was very welcome and it never looked like Håland would miss. I thought Nathan, Rodri and Joāo were very good, though none of them was poor.

A great start to the season. If Carlsberg did football weekends…

Seriously? It's one match, if people are expecting him to score a hat trick every week they could be in for a shock.

Oh for Gods sake, the guy has said it himself. No one is expecting a hat trick every week, my main point was how the team makes best use of him.

This woman interviewing Eric Tu Pac, puts Shreeves to shame.

What a difference a week makes, eh!

[big gaz]

Great performance and win but only 2 on target from 14 attempts, rest of the team need to convert more chances

Next game false 9 ;-)
