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

[N1985]

We've become so boring to watch. It's the same old, week in, week out. Players have been turned into robots.

Prediction - Cherki on for Marmoush, Doku for somebody else

Lijinders still got some of them inhalers?

 

[Allnightlong]

West Ham have managed not to deliberately handball nor lose their rag and smash into a tackle yet. That’ll be why.

But 2 pull backs

 

[ashleycaulcott1]

Phil gets frozen out for poor form and our striker with 4 goals since Christmas still starts every week.

Frozen out by a guy that claims hes ‘my son’ wants him to express himself and be free? Yet the same guy that allows others to start week in week out who are at times worse whilst punishing the guy he claims to care about.

 

[sk3ptical]

Thats 2 goals in back to back games donna cost us now.

[Micky Blue]

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.

I don’t see how he stays this summer.
I said last season he’s not good enough.

He seems to be a passenger for most games then have a good game against Newcastle and all Is forgotten.

How did we scout him and not notice his strike partner Ekitike, at least he can score.

 

[M Gaudino]

We’ve actually created fuck all

Dominated side to side to side . Woopppeeee

semenyo had a more than half chance edge of the box to make it 2-1.

west ham barely had touches in the box except the corner

 

[NptonBlue89!]

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

Retained possession
Controlled the tempo
Not given away many chances


A good basis to kick on in the second half. Should be able to move through the gears with good options on the bench to change things up…..I’ve watched far worse first half performances this season

Years ago this would of worked, tired them out and kicked on to finish them off but let’s be honest in ten years teams have worked this out they conserve energy as we don’t kill them off with slow football! And they in fact have more energy than us in second half as per our performances this year in second half’s

 

[PragueBlue]

Doku, Gonzalez and Cherki on for O'Reilly, Marmoush and Bernardo and we'll win this quite comfortably. Won't happen though.

 

[Blueknows]

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

Or that we don't create for him

 

[Damanino]

you can bet Pep would send of Savinho if he was on bench lol

 

[madloaf]

So so good. The pockets. The position. The final moments we were not there. WHAT DO YOU MEAN? I AM A GENIUS NO? IF I LOSE? 6 TITLES. TREBLES. I WIN. AM I A FAILURE? NO.

Pep mourinho post match presser.

I still think we'll win this though.

 

[Beanhead]

If only there was a league for possession.

There was 3-10 years ago. Game has moved on and we haven’t!

 

[stan bowles]

According to the BBC, they've got a higher Xg than us (0.54 to 0.3) despite us having 70% possession. A damning statistic if true.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Cherki ? Come on Pep.

Pointless if no one is running off the ball.

 

[hoppy]

England bullying France.

Worst kit clash ever, it's fucking unwatchable.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Cherki has to come on for erl or semenyo at half time if not pep had fully lost it

Wait and see Ake coming on for Khusanov...It will be something completely daft.
