West Ham post game....

[come-on-barney]

The same rules apply as in the Match Thread. I know we're all annoyed at what was a pathetic performance and I daren't post my thoughts on our manager (I use the term loosely) but calling him a senile old ****, a twat or anything similar will see you banned from the thread and possibly the whole forum. So sound off but keep a lid on the most offensive language.

It's bloody difficult and to think we replaced Mancini with this guy absolute joke

The Engineer is engineering, he's got the team on the leash, give him the rest of the season, let's see where we go when he let's the lads off.

What the fuck has the champions league got to do with tonight's result?
Fuck me can't you tell the rags got beat again. ...
What a fuckin idiotic and pointless post.

Never said it had, chill out.

lazy team off the ball. brainless decisions all the time. Point is a point but shit performance

Have to agree.
The vast majority of 50/50 balls are won by the other team - either because we are afraid to go for 50/50s or just not putting in the effort, or at a push, trying to be clever and conserving energy - but however you look at it, it's costing us.

We have one mode of operation - keeping the ball and passing it about in front of a team who allow us to do so. The moment we face a team willing to get stuck in, we are found wanting.

West Ham weren't fantastic today, they were good at best, but it was their workmanlike effort that made a real difference. As much as I've criticised United for being poor and yet still managing to linger around the top of the league, the same can be said for us - we can consider ourselves quite fortunate that somehow we're still loitering near the top.

I don't understand what he's supposed to be good at? Lost all of our momentum when he came on.

It's generally accepted he's diabolical on the ball, doesn't want it and when he gets it, he usually plays a 5 yard square pass.

So he's meant to be a defensive midfielder who "sits in front of the back 4 and breaks up play." Only he doesn't do that does he? He certainly sits there, but he looks like he's running in treacle and is terrible at reading the game.

For someone who's meant to be good at winning the ball back, he's actually our worst midfielder at intercepting the ball and tackling.

So what's the purpose of him?

Lol @ Ya Ya absolutely shocking, Merlin had an off day.....I think you would find that Merlin has had a handful of off days. How about we say the same for Yaya, he's had an off day also or what do you think?

Both Merlin & Ya Ya have been fantastic for us over the years but Pelli needs to put Ya Ya on the bench in these sort of games and bring him on later in the game, today he offered very little.

When Merlin is 10% off his game every touch/pass goes astray as he has such a delicate touch.

Let's hope we can turn up on Wednesday.

Get a grip you muppet

He does have a point though, Zlatan and Cavani up against Otamendi and Mangala/ Demi.....Oh the horror.

 

[Blueknows]

Seriously, when was the last time we won two games on the spin?

who fecking cares ? we are 3 points off the top , still a long way to go yet

 

[happy daze]

Pelligrini should have left Silva on, We were in the accendant at that time.

Exactly

 

[Armaan]

You'd think the red fuckers would be lying low...

Ah now accusing me of being a red, why exactly?

 

[citymad]

Just painful. We have so many excellent players going to waste at the moment. Cannot wait until the end of Pellegrini's reign. He's done really well, but this was farcical

Are they excellent though ? Sergio, Hart,Merlin possibly De Bruyne but the rest are bang average. West ham totally outclassed us.

 

[BlueTG]

Needs to be dropped to be honest.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Dave had an atrocious game, KDB had a another poor away performance. Sterling did nothing since coming on.

These are world class players. WTF has Pellegrini's done to them???

 

[RandomJ]

He's well off the boil. Dunno if it's his ankle causing him bother but maybe he could do with a few games on the bench.

 

[worsleyweb]

Fucking hell! another tough game out of the way. We did ok. We are getting a new manager in the summer. We didn't loose and we still have a huge chance in the league. Chelsea might win tomo and we will have gained a point.

Think we are doing fine.

 

[Big Blue Mick]

Good point in the end. Nacho looked lively and Demi hasn't been as bad as I feared the last few games. Aguero is back on it. Downside was Toure, he's almost 33 and a big unit, he just cannot influence a game any more. The odd moment of brilliance is not enough anymore. Its as bad as ive seen Spanish Dave play as well. The title is still on because everybody else is as poor as us

 

[buzzer1]

Sshh, cant say this on here,surely not Dave having another bad game(and kdb).

 

[WyongBlue]

Glad we got the point at least, but it was a tough game and our midfield just didn't turn up today............

I think the leash is that long he doesn't know where they are

They played well but come on get a grip with that daft comment...
