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

[Lavinda Past]

Pre-season friendly stuff from City up to now. Not even breaking sweat and in complete control.
West Ham know that they're going to get battered if they try anything progressive.

KDB playing too high imo, other than that, just perfect.

 

[I'm Blue]

So is Jack Raz this season?

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Just remind me, West Ham are a top 7 team in the PL, have players rated at 120 million plus, are at home 1st game of a new season, are playing in front of a record home attendance, buoyed by a good transfer window. Why are they playing like fucking Burton Albion in the Cup Moyes you goggle eyed gargoyle?

 

[Keeper!]

Starting by showing some Haaland misses and saying he’s frustrated in the really creepy tone they do when trying to create a narrative.

are you serious?

this guy is getting headlines everywhere, he is a superstar

 

[oldius]

Only here can a dominant display result in individuals being called out for nothing. Well done blues - good performance so far.

 

[bluealf]

So is Jack Raz this season?

For the haters?

I'd guess so tbh

 

[kun]

dont get the hate but jack was good with the ball and didn’t give cheap balls

He’s been good. I’m genuinely baffled by the hate.

Kev, Foden, Cancelo all been worse.

(Not tryna dig any of em out they haven’t been too bad)

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

You could say Areola made a bit of a tit of himself there.

Eh, eh, geddit

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Thought we controlled the game exceptionally well. Think we might kick on in the second half, I've seen this play out a hundred times. Think everyone across the front could be a bit quicker in the pass, Grealish included, but he's not special in that regard.

 

[Blu1]

Jack's happy to stroll about in first gear and offer no assist or goal threat, take lots of touches and then pass it back 10 yards. That's all ok if Pep deems his contribution to be satisfactory.

I don’t think he has a choice with cancello with him.
