Match Thread | West Ham vs. Manchester City (14/03/26)

better football? this is good football to you?

Yes possession football, dominating the ball is how we get back on top, it's tires teams out. Eventually the quality shines through.

 

[Blueknows]

Sideways, back , sideways , sideways back.....sigh

 

[Cuban heels]

Exciting walking football

 

[Gobshiight]

If Cherki's not trusted in a game like this where we have 0 creativity then I expect we'll be in the market for someone better this summer

 

[blue_danube]

Problem with playing both marmoush and semenyo is both have the touch of Peter Sutcliffe

Among your 3 forwards, you need some real quality on the ball that can carve out chances...but Cherki is getting splinters on his arse

 

[AirbagsOptionalTheReturn]

West Ham are so deep we need to ge it wide quicker

It is better than a fair bit of Weds. Decent passing and movement

 

[malg]

Should have been a Yellow

 

[hogismuir]

Similar to what happened with Alvarez.

Semenyo miscontrols the ball 2 times out of 3. His passing is OK. He's athletic and scores goals but not really a traditional Pep player is he?

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

What time does the game start

Not sure if it will.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Why are all Fernandes cnuts?

 

[B\connellblue]

Another 20 mins of total shite. Torture watching this City side. Move the fucking thing quickly .

 

[Columbia]

Same as last season, sleep walking.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Feels like we're going to score first. Cmon blues

 

[paulchapo]

This is boring. No wonder Haalands goals have dried up. This is turgid.

It has been for a while now, Newcastle away in the cup was the exception.

 

[waspish]

There is more movement and quicker passing but it should be for an end result of a cross or a shot

 

[pudge]

If only we could play Newcastle every week

 

[Mr HJ]

20 mins in 93% possession, 80% of our passes backwards and zero efforts on their goal. This system really makes us very undynamic. 5 corners straight to the head of a defender. When you have this double of Bernie and Rodri with Semenyo as your number 10 it makes us slow and predictable - please tell me why Cherki doesn't deserve to be the one creating things. It is like so many games this last 18 months - a training session of attack v defence. Not great.

Cmon Marmoush

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

Not booking the lad for wrestling Marmoush then?
