West Ham post game....

[hobbsisablue]

It wouldn't surprise me!

He's coached all of the directness and attacking instinct out of Sterling and KDB.

Mangala and Otamendi both look piss poor under him. We have to start looking at how our players are coached because the concept of going out and buying top players is not working.

Maybe Mangala and Otamendi are simply piss poor. I haven't seen to much to suggest otherwise.

Learning to defend them would be a start!

Yet another mediocre performance leaving me shaking my head at the end wondering how we are second. If we do win the league in May I actually think it will be embarrassing ........feels a bit like when Chelsea won the champs League

I obviously won't be complaining though

Hoping midweek will give us the opportunity to show a bit of desire to actually win something this year

I thought joe should have been quicker to come out. But ottamendi had a mare.

 

[come-on-barney]

Martinez would've been watching, imagine what he's gonna say to lukaku come mid week....

I dread to think

 

[tiggsywiggsywoo]

Let's face we've been found out. Not good enough by a long way.

 

[BlueS]

Keeps us in all games, so he does.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Ab

Whilst KDB is a wonderful player is it coincidence weve gone shit since he started

Plus Spuds, Arsenal and Leicester look much better than us at the moment just need to cling to 4th

absolute garbage he' is quality no ifs or buts.

Missing the point yet again. Ranieri has done a fantastic job on a shoe string budget, therefore Pellers is under achieving on the resources he has had compared to previous managers. A lot of us have been around for the same time as you but not sure what that has to do with anything.

It puts your shoe string budget into perspective , i am not concerned with how much other teams spend , agreed Ranieri has done a fantastic job , because i never rated him as a manager , but Leicester City's excellent season , will soon be forgotten , but the under achieving Pellegrini will be remembered on our clubs honours list , point taken ?

 

[baildon blue]

I think Pellegrini got his eye on another job and not 100% on our team at the moment his post match interview to me seems he's not interested. Club needs to do something if we don't get to the final on Wednesday it could be a big turning point either way.

He's not been interested since last winter .

Talking to a few West Ham after the game who said its the best 90 min performance they've had. We weren't shit in my opinion, playmakers had an off day but still hit the post a couple of times and a disgusting piece of defending by otamendi has cost us 3 points at a very difficult ground. Should've had 3 but not the worst point. It's nearly the end of Jan and its still in our hands with Leicester and Arsenal to come to the Etihad, good going by our standards!!! Come on City!!!

 

[lazerblue]

I'm done with this manager now, I can't believe how far backwards this team has gone

 

[johnnytapia]

I have to agree with you 100% on that matey.

I second it. This team should be romping the league. By a country mile. The fact Leicester are top, after all we've spent, the players we have, tells you we're not playing anything like our potential. All this talk of teams getting to spend decent amounts on players thanks to TV cash and thus the league is harder, is utter, utter bollocks. It's there to be won. And if we can't win it with Hart, Serge, Silva, De Bruyne, Sterling, in the team, we need to ask why - and it ain't the fans' fault.

This team should be battering everyone. Bar none. And I mean NONE.

 

[Hesh]

I suppose that's a good away point. Didn't feel like it though, we aren't playing like champions.

Sergio's absolutely flying but as a team we didn't create many clearcut chances again.

Start with Yaya on the bench in midweek and against Villa.

We're still in the hunt for the quadruple !

 

[Chippy_boy]

All this crap about us having average players does my head in. We had 14 players out their today who who walk into the West Ham side and yet we played shite (again) and they played out of their skins. Is it not bleeding obvious where the problem lies? Hint: it's not the players.

 

[Armaan]

It's staggering how shit Sterlings first touch is. He just doesn't have the technical ability to play in our side, he'll only ever be good in a counter attacking team.

So the players take no blame

Desire is the main problem, when the going gets tough we've got too many that hide.

Agreed really doesn't cut the mustard for me.

 

[crmcfc]

How does do the club harm ffs

Its hard to explain but I will try. Do we want Pellergrini and the players to get the impression from the fans and media that we are currently playing superbly and that Toure, KDB, Sterling and Silva are in the form of their life battering teams every week so lets just carry on as we are? Have you experienced a home game when fans give a collective "come on" or " for fucks sake get stuck in" and we are doing it because what we see is not good enough its the only time I have seen the team getting off their arse lately. There is absolutely no point with the "there, there everything is going to be all right attitude" the apathy extends to the pitch.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

You made me smile there second time this evening :) Can you quote my thread where I said they would win the league? The context in which I made these comments were that some months ago we were told by some posters the wheels would come off the Leicester bus, that Arsenal would bottle it, that Spurs were not title title challengers. All of which seem a little bit of a stretch at the moment. For the record I think Arsenal will win it as I don't think we have the consistency to win it, and have zero confidence in Pellers. Happy to PM you with a bet on that with money going to charity.

Moving the goalposts Barney , i want your Leicester money :) , only Arsenal can stop us , but if Sanchez or Ozil get injured , they wont stay the course , maybe the Arsenal home game will be the title decider, Vinny to score the winner with a header reminiscent of the rags in 2012.

Where is this good attacking play. We make this game look too hard.
Don't work hard enough and carry too many passengers.
Sorry, try to stay positive but am losing faith in this side.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
