Match Thread | West Ham vs Man City (07/08/22)

The card was for dissent and deserved. Stupid foul and then says twice the lino needs glasses. Stupid for both the needless foul and the dissent

It was for Joao…

 

[Keeper!]

Be greedy Jackie boy for once

easy option all the time, seems to be happy to play within himself

 

[Magicpole]

Playing well within themselves, but it’s enough. I would like to see them up the tempo a bit and go for their throats to lay down a marker.

 

[discopop]

Tbf he’s saying what we can all see, just not good enough and hasn’t got any excuses this year…. You tend to find him giving more when he’s at a run in with someone, he’s coasting

Fair enough points but it’s a cheap shot from Neville, Pep has to find a way to get him the space

 

[Decepticon]

Love the salty tears in the comment section.

 

[moomba]

Grealish has been fine. Has a lot to prove but today isn't the day you should decide he's not good enough for us.

 

[adelaideblue]

Grealish has been excellent at hold the ball, has contributed as much as Foden, don’t understand the stick he gets

 

[kun]

By the looks of it, Sterling has left so Grealish is ģetting shite instead. BL matchday thread at its finest:)

They need someone to pretend is shit.

 

[paulchapo]

lol. Doesn't change the truth.He is playing shit. I would rather pep not play him as winger anymore. Give him chance in the middle

Sometimes a player just can't fit in no matter how hard you try. He could go somewhere else and be brilliant. It isn't all his adult, it's our system.

 

[youngbob]

Good first half.

Need to be ready for them coming out like a house on fire.

 

[Bluescholar]

Spot on..

Football isn't for you,maybe try fifa?

 

[Keeper!]

People that can't appreciate total football, FFS

 

[RandomJ]

Not gonna lay it all on Grealish as both of our wide players haven't really influenced the game. All through the middle so far. Definitely some rust showing from some player but I think once we get up to speed and they all learn how to use Haaland correctly we are going to be unstoppable.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Spam have 10 behind the ball in their own half. Of course it’s a slow game!

 

[Trickyblues]

Thoroughly enjoying this game

 

[Paul Moulden's Golden Balls]

Cancelo was brilliant & awful...sometimes at the same time.

 

[scousemanc]

Very happy with the first half of the first game of the season. In control in the heat

 

[heslops barnet]

Feel we have another a couple of gears. Seems like we are treating like a pre season game. Not overly busting a gut.

We started slowly last season….

 

[SWPISHOME]

That was lovely to watch total football making West Ham do the chasing in this heat it will absolutely kill them especially in the first game of the season and not up to speed.

Haaland, Foden, Gundogan and Rodri the standouts so far...The less said about Jack and Joao the better. They both really need to get their act together in the second half.

As good as we have been in that first half we really are missing Stones at centre back to be breaking the lines with passes to open West Ham up that but more.

 

[crossbar]

No energy the first 20 minutes. I hate walking football. But after that we started playing better.

I hope to see Alvarez around minute 60.
