West Ham United (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[Etihad]

Hope west ham go down with their dodgy owner.

Bad result. Leagues over, focus on the other 3 now.

Other 3? We were out the CL after 40 minutes, dont try pretending we have a chance to progress.

And now we've thrown the league away against two teams battling relegation.

Dont sweep this performance under the rug like its nothing, it was fucking cowardly.

It's not just Pep's fault FFS! Straight after a loss everyone turns to Pep. Obviously it's partly down to him and he should be doing a lot better in a lot of sectors, but look at the talent we've got on the pitch. Against relegation-battling West Ham, who are an absolute mess inside and out.

I defend Pep as much as anyone on here but I have no fucking idea how he thought the 11 he picked was going to break down a West Ham side that’s been defending very well for the last 6 weeks.

The only way we managed to score was a mishit cross.

 

[WallyA]

I hope we never see all 3 of Haaland, Marmoush and Semenyo.

I blame Pep for this.

They are all "strikers" and can't create anything. Marmoush looked decent as a false 9 at the least.

Play 2 max, and ideally just 1, get Doku and Cherki on, who immediately made an impact with their passing.

 

[Middyblues]

Deserved to win. If Cherki had started, we would have

Pep doesn't like and doesn't trust amazing footballers like Cherki (and Phil before Pep got into his head and destroyed his confidence)

 

[remember arthur mann]

Same old, same old.
Fucking sick of the squad/side/management.
Start afresh next season and get rid of the deadwood.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Slow boring crap, it looks like we've out bottled the bottlers this time.

You can't bottle anything from second, which is where we've been for months.

 

[Inca Roads Bert]

Was expecting a West Ham win, so they avoid relegation and send fucking spuds and forrest down.

More than a dozen corners nil, one corner equalizer.

Trafford in. Gigio bench.

 

[Dizbuster]

On the plus side I respect West Ham and I genuinely hope they stay up, as for us, well, we're still on for an extremely unlikely double. (FACup and League Cup)

Silver lining: it's now more likely that Forest goes down. With any luck, Leeds will join them.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Said it in the match thread - I think Pep's style has run its course and is in dire need of a change-up. His tinkering and apparent lack of game management are so frustrating and he clearly cannot motivate these players anymore.

As much as I love Pep and think that he is the best manager we have ever had and maybe ever will have - I think he is done.

Totally agree.

We are the most boring side in the league.

 

[Double R]

The most depressing thing is, as soon as they scored I knew that was it, no chance this team was scoring a winner.
Our front line has totaly flatlined. No spark. No creativity. No finishing. No fucking clue.
Absolutely nowhere near good enough, and a chore to watch.
Will snap your hand off for a league cup and a second place finish and just be done for the season.

 

[city986]

Why make one pass when we can make 10 fucking passes to go nowhere it's fucking shite no fucking difference than when Pearce was in charge

 

[Shirley]

So many spoilt brats on here, we can’t win it every year but we gave it a good go.

 

[willipp]

Forget the league, I never really thought we’d win it. However I just don’t see how we have a chance of beating Arsenal next week, not a fucking prayer were scoring 3 or 4 against Madrid and Liverpool gives me shudders.

It’s fucking grim at the moment it really is.

 

[argyle]

Haaland doesn't score and we're in trouble.

Shows how much he carried this team.

We need more goal scorers.

Doku, Foden, Reijnders etc just don't score.

 

[daveiw01]

Silver lining: it's now more likely that Forest goes down. With any luck, Leeds will join them.

One can but hope.

 

[blue_danube]

Like fergiscum at Utd won everything but stayed to long

Didn't he win the title in his final season?

 

[eyalluvitt]

If we don’t change the manager at the end of the season it will be more of the same for another year

One big final effort at Wembley then he can get his gold clock and leave with a trophy

 

[Eaststander1]

Oh well, if our title hopes were hanging by a thread before that game, they're lying on the floor now .. because the thread's well and truly snapped !
