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

It feels like Pep is more unsure of our best eleven than ever at the moment.

Has had no answers since kur injury crisis last season. Couldnt halt that run of defeats as couldnt change tactics to adapt and with more or less a fully fit squad w, he still looks clueless as to the best team.
Very very lucky the PL s poor this seasin as it should cement our CL place next season but we need a total refresh management and coaching wise or next season will be no different and with others improving, we could be further away from the top

great ball from Cherki...see that Pep???

Fuck that shit. He should have passed it backwards and retained possession!

We have looked better since the subs.

 

[Beanhead]

Cherki already impacting the game.

 

[skillman]

Pep taking no prisoners. Making a point to some players here with these subs

 

[I'm Blue]

its piss poor and has been for some time.
We have been scraping wins esp in 2026,very lucky v Leeds, lucky not to lose late on v Forest ( another set piece defending fuck up) and today.
We all love Pep to bits but a change is needed for next season as the game has moved on and he looks lost, 2nd year he has failed to get the best out of the players.
A complete management and coaching change will hopefully refresh the squad.
How can one of the best strikers in the world have such a long barren run

I love Pep and whoever we get to replace him won’t be as good.
However times time cock.
This is now 18 months of shit, slow boring football.
The players look uninspired.
I don’t see signs of improvement.
I genuinely believe we’ve got the quality to compete for the league and other trophies.
We currently don’t have the mentality or the desire though.
Pep no longer looks like he can inspire the players.
I genuinely think he’s got too comfortable in the job and so have the players.
There’s no fear factor from either side.

 

[stan bowles]

Cherki making a difference already.

 

[Ban-jani]

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.

He’s been playing really well recently.

 

[roach3]

Not reinders we need Gonzales move rodders forward

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Fucking Reijnders ffs

 

[Damanino]

we must win this game.

 

[jollylescott]

Cherki makes a huge difference

 

[jimharri]

I'm sorely tempted to go back to supporting Chelsea, only they're shite at the moment as well.

 

[blue_danube]

Cherki on for a minute and finally Haaland gets a chance and looks sharp

Not rocket science is it?

 

[WallyA]

O Reilly back to inverted LB with Doku wide left... Inside Doku is better.

 

[waspish]

Same corner every fucking time

 

[remember arthur mann]

Pep needs to do a rags, leave the players to their own.

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

What has Nico G done wrong?!

 

[Ban-jani]

Cherki not starting is a disgrace. Created more than anyone else in 2 minutes

 

[Columbia]

Peps so lost it’s actually quite sad.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Fucking Reijnders ffs

*Lumps on scoring the winner*
