Match Thread | West Ham vs Man City (16/09/23)

We’ve got absolutely in width on the right. Where is Bernardo playing?

Center with rodri. Basically kovacic role. Foden is right but coming inside when we have the ball and walker is the width despite him being the worst crosser of the ball since navas

 

[homerdog]

TBF there were no stoppages, can't add time on that doesn't exist.

Apart from when they were rolling around pretending to be injured, the goal celebration and the keeper taking ages with his goal kicks.

 

[Chi-town blues]

4-1 city final

 

[Norbert D]

Doku on the right, Foden left, Alvarez 10

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to right…

 

[Gogootz]

Classic game against Moyes. Play well, their keeper has a blinder, we miss big chances, they score their only chance.

Also Doku has had a good game, but what's going on with his pace? Over 10 metres he's Usain Bolt. Over 100 metres he's Eric the Eel.

He vapes like a chimney

 

[Keeper!]

Paqueta is top quality, no wonder Pep wanted him

 

[Goater=Legend]

Can see why we was after Paqueta, hes some player.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Haha, fuck off!

He's the highest-paid player in the league. He's paid to put the goal in the net as he doesn't do much else like a Jesus/Alvarez type of player. The criticism is absolutely warranted today.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Dominated the game missed easy chances and the opposition score with their first effort on target , weve been here before many times , Haaland missed two gilt edged chances but he will not miss a third , its simple West Ham have rode their luck.
We keep on playing like this then the goals will come , worrying that Gvardiol went missing for their goal and Doku didnt cover/track back , no doubt Pep will put them right at half time

 

[Gundoggin]

Wasteful but playing well and losing . Been here a few time’s the past few seasons haven’t we . Haaland hatrick incoming……

 

[Silva&Silva]

We can't be any worse in the second half (hopefully)

 

[burning blue soul]

Are you in here slagging off him for slagging off people for slagging off haaland? ;)

I'm just commenting to the people commenting on the people slagging off the people slagging off the people slagging off the player known as Haaland, is all.

 

[jimharri]

Full time already? Fuck me I must have been asleep

Standard match thread fayre.

 

[christened at st marks]

I'd take a draw from this

 

[nellyonthewing]

We’re missing Kovatic

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Doku didn’t track back well and it will be addressed. But your attackers are going to give the ball away at midfield occasionally and you need to be able to defend it. We had numbers back and somehow conspired to leave an unmarked man. Doku made the first mistake but imo is not at fault for the goal. There’s no excuse for our not having defended that situation better

Gvardiol gets done and doesn't get back, Dias and Akanji conspire to mark the same man and Walker is nowhere to be seen. Not Doku's fault at all.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Harsh score line.

Haaland has had an absolute mare that half.

And you can be CERTAIN he won't have a mare in the second. He's a winner and will win this for us all on his own in the next 45 mins. He will be more angry than any of us.

 

[Bluesince1979]

How quickly people forget and turn on their own because of one bad half.

Turn on their own? By saying he shouldve bagged 2 , by just saying he shouldve bagged 2 utter sitters? Thats turning on out own?

Maybe we are turning into dippers after all

 

[Beanhead]

We have played well imo. If Viking was his normal self and we are winning. Aside from their goal Doku has been brilliant. Electric in fact.. he’s going to be a lot of fun. Think this will end 2-2 which wouldn’t be a bad result as the Hammers won’t drop many points at home this season they are decent Paquetta annoyingly so.

 

[heslops barnet]

LOL at the flapping

You not a regular?
