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

[Blumers Bloomers]

As shit on free kicks as we are on corners. Consistent at least

 

[dhruvblue]

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

Lmao
Imagine parroting this possession like in 2026 .

Hilarious .

No one fears us with ball they are more than happy infact

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Dear God. The set pieces are absolutely dire.

 

[heslops barnet]

Shite as per usual, hard fukin watch

 

[Mancity1980]

Our free kicks are getting as bad as our corners.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

If you got points for passing sideways and backwards, and taking shit corners, then we would piss the league.

 

[Greenandblue]

This is a cup final & feels like a training game. Attack with pace city ! They are shocking

Remember the plan, side to side tepid football until we concede,then try to charge forward and recover it in the last 10.. See Forest and Brighton at home, Spurs away...

 

[jamielowndes]

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

At our worst, we become a parody of ourselves. We're playing like we have a 2-0 lead.

 

[skillman]

What a shocking free kick

 

[Blu1]

Not what I was expecting after Madrid game.

We attack these with pace they will crumble

 

[Damanino]

go forward with speed ffs

defence needs to pass between themselves 15-20 times before we decide to make some distance towards their goal from the back, this is bullshit

 

[Blue_eyes]

Turned the comms off a bit ago, have they stopped wank err talking about the madrid game yet.

We need to score to shut em up.

 

[Blueknows]

Great free kick , what do we actual do in training ?

 

[super_city_si]

Coached to death. Seems everyone’s first instinct is safe and pass backwards

 

[Muttley59]

Shit fk as well. Marmoush can't lift a dead ball

 

[jimharri]

This game reminds me of dating in my mid teens…..

A little bit of ball play but no actual penetration

 

[malg]

Did that West Ham player just throw his shin pads away?

 

[wolviedinho]

The whole team is flat and rudderless.

We don’t create anything. We recycle the ball endlessly. We are not champions.

Pointless approach to our games.

Rip it up and start again.

League should have been done by now. Arse clear ahead while we labour along.

 

[pudge]

Great free kick , what do we actual do in training ?

Well Pep keeps picking the likes of Marmoush so I can only assume he doesn't actually take training

 

[Blu1]

No idea what semenyo or O Reilly role is here
