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

[jrb]

That 14 game unbeaten run to the title didn’t happen.

We drew the game.

Just saying as many on here are talking like we were beat 7-0.

We're also 2nd in the league.

Just saying as many on here are talking like we're in Spurs position.

2nd in the league doesn’t win you the PL title.

That is what it’s all about, unless you re happy with being 2nd and getting a CL place?

I'm just not accepting that as a bad performance. We dominated the entire match, we just came up against an average keeper in world class form and couldn't put it in the net ourselves. Our best performance across the 90 minutes for some time - West Ham created nothing from open play - we just didn't get the bounce in the six yard box.

It's more costly because it's come at this stage of the season but I was quite encouraged.

 

[chaddblue]

That's you. Take your defeat. We can't win every game. We've come a long way since last season.

No we haven’t

Last season could be explained by a ridiculous number of injuries

We’ve bought 7 or 8 players since January and maybe with the exception of Cherki.. who for some inexplicable reason Pep won’t play.. none of them have improved the team

 

[BlueMonkey79]

He's off his fucking head. Should be sectioned for his own good.

He's definitely not right upstairs. The constant tongue spitting thing and the ramblings he speaks in interviews.

He looks burnt out.

 

[journolud]

On the plus side... Erm, I'll get back to you

 

[cookster]

All fucking talk this team.
Have been for 2 seasons.
I'm sure the usual suspects, Dias and Bernie will come out with shite after the game.

I make that at least 15 points lost from winning positions.

Add Pep to the usual suspects talking shite after the game.
He's gone full on Trump.

 

[Ohrodneyrodney]

Problem is mate we spend so long fucking about using Phil as a wall or knocking it sideways Erl has 5 between him and the goal. It’s not his game is it?

Correct. We have a striker who is best on the shoulder of the last defender, if we play it long. We spend so long going sideways and backwards with the ball his studs have taken root.

 

[Gesario]

Andrè Previn couldn’t get a tune out of these cunts.

Andre Preview according to Eric

 

[ancoats]

We are under achieving and I don’t know why - BUT WE”LL ALWAYS BE BLUES

It's just hard at the moment and one thing after another pops up and we are back to square one
We are missing a couple of creative midfielders and Pep is somehow not allowing Cherki to run the middle of the park

 

[Eccles Blue]

That game sent me into a deep sleep. I’m sorry to say that that was one of the worst most boring games I have seen in a very, very long time.
I rarely criticise the whole team but this was dire. Where was the skill we know every one of those players possesses?
It wasn’t on display tonight.

 

[jprkas]

This is a startling statistic. It’s been like this for years too. I wonder what arse’s goal per corner ratio is? 1 in every 10? We must get the most corners in the prem over the last few years. We prob score almost the least. It’s a real issue and nobody is addressing it. I’ve been calling them back passes for years now.

Even the commentators are laughing at that stat or so it seems 'How many set pieces have City had?'

 

[.db.]

Fooking moaning Johnny come latelys.

Fucking blasé Johnny come latelys.

It’s not the position in the league or even the fact we all know Arsenal are going to win it. It’s to do with how we are playing. We’re struggling massively and we all know it. Arsenal aren’t great but I dread to think what they will do to us next week on set pieces and counters. As for Madrid, they will just sit deep and let us make 50000 passes sideways and back and we will create fuck all. Liverpool in the cup probably suits us as they might actually come and try and play so that’s the one maybe.

 

[argyle]

It’s also how we play not just the result the performances have been poor it’s shocking football at the minute

I don't think any team in the league is playing exciting football right now.

 

[bluestevei]

I don't like us at the moment!

Does he know we are on amazon prime and not TNT all those games he said are on TNT and they ain't going to advertise another channel

 

[awest]

Everyone give your heads time to think I do believe with are a team in transition a couple of players to get can back were we were arsenal are a team of cunts who do believe have had a lot of luck on there side but we are only side to give them a chase I do think are style of play needs to change as the premier League has no talk of Liverpool being the worse team to defend their title
Let's stop them arsenal winning the final next week
Ctid sorry about my commors etc but we will be back with or without pep hate to say it maybe a change could be good for us plus after watching that tonight I'm pissed drunk

I don't want to hear transition again.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

God ! There's some overreaction in here again. So the league has most probably gone. Most of us realised a long while ago that maybe we weren't good/consistent enough. We've still got 2 cups to play for.

 

[NptonBlue89!]

League Cup or FA Cup it is.

Hate to say it but who’s stopping Arsenal

 

[paulsimpson]

In the games that truly matter this season we've looked like cowards. Tonight, Wednesday night, Forest game, Old Trafford... the list goes on.

Not one of the players wants to step up and be counted to produce a big moment, they all leave it to each other. There's no hunger or urgency, no fight and no determination to win. They all just seem content with where they are.

I call that cowardly. And I won't be surprised to see it against next week.

I saw a lot of fight tonight. Hard to get through a West Ham defence with 10 outfield players in their own box.They got their point but there was only one team in it. Calling players cowards is going too far.
We should have defended the corner that led to their goal. Mavropanos I think it it was , was allowed a free header .

2nd in the league doesn’t win you the PL title.

That is what it’s all about, unless you re happy with being 2nd and getting CL place?

Perhaps you and others like you should re-assess your relationship with football and what supporting a team is about because it certainly isn’t only about winning. The vast majority of football supporters never win a trophy, we should know better than any.
