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

I think someone must have giving us the wrong performance enhancing drugs. A mix up with benzodiazepines -:) zzzzz

 

[deano ou812]

England bullying France.

Unbelievable

 

[lee one pen]

Ooh, you are naughty, but I like you.

 

[roach3]

Our forward players just don’t have the positional intelligence to create space for themselves, marmoush just no good in tight
Spaces usually loses the ball, air Nouri too hesitant with poor decision making and we’re back to this pass pass pass shit.
Doku and Gonzales on marmoush plus one other off not sure who.

 

[ashleycaulcott1]

You want us to build our future around Marmoush? The same Marmoush who looks like a lottery winner out there tonight?

Seriously, he's been dreadful. Tripping over his own feet. You can tell after 10 minutes whether he's on it, and he's just not tonight.

Not true! Others are saying hes out of position! Madness

 

[01cravend]

We dominated possession, that's it.. We've had one shot on target which was a cross.

 

[Beanhead]

Not even a card. That is as bad a “tackle” you’ll see all game.

Yep, equally ridiculous as predictable.

 

[Frankie lad]

Doku and Cherki or Phil on please.
Haaland and Sem off.lets get that Newcastle feel back.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

I’m sick of hearing how Haaland can punish you at the drop of a hat.

He's punishing us, having to watch him! (hopefully he'll score second half now)

 

[Ohrodneyrodney]

If only there was a league for possession.

 

[hertsblue]

That goal is so shit. Shit goalkeeping, shit marking, totally needless corner to gove away in the first place.

Employing our set piece coach still as we are probably the worst team in England for taking and defending them sums up the lacklustre management of the club atm.

 

[ALDN_Ko]

Bit of a concern that a top class player cant play between 1/2 positions if thats the case

Haaland can’t play as a winger, doesn’t mean he’s crap. These guys are humans not cogs in a machine. You can’t chop and change their position all the time

 

[antspider]

Blimey! We don't half serve up some turgid footballing guff sometimes

 

[simon23]

too many players in this team that are not good enough full stop.

Marmoush, Semenyo, for starters. ...not technically good enough in any aspect except being good goal scorers but nothing else

Is NOR good enough to be constantly starting for a title chasing side? - young player worth perservering with no doubt but as a starter for a title chasing team????

Khusonov...Love him but you have to question him at times

Nunes - people have been take in and fooled by his huge improvement....but even now he is not good enough when you compare him to the level of what you actually need

RAN technically very good - decision making in attacking positions is fucking awful

 

[oldius]

Not enough of a spark so far despite lots of possession.
With the best will in the world, Semenyo will never be the creative player that Cherki is, and though he has done wonderfully well for us, he simply is not that player.
The back four have been sound, and Ait-Nouri is looking good.
The goal resulted from a misjudgement and a forward losing his runner.
The front players just are not sharp enough, so far, but they are feeding off slow balls and a defence already set.

 

[Blueknows]

I'm still at a loss as to why our most creative player cannot get a regular start, is Pep still pissed off at him for that audacious rabona assist wtf ?

 

[Goldust]

Cherki ? Come on Pep.

 

[Columbia]

But yes we are still on for the quad…keep clapping folks as the next 2 games won’t be nice viewing, can’t wait as I’m at both of them…

 

[Blue and still suffering]

Yeah, we do always seem to come out firing in the second half of games.

Not since 2024.

 

[blue moony]

As someone else has said I think a lot of our fans have been duped into believing the above constitutes a good performance.

How many 2nd half’s have we kicked on in ???

Dont hold your breath
