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

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Good half I thought. After the first 2 mins West Ham have hardly had the ball.

We need to create a bit more but apart from that I thought we were good. I think we can raise it a bit more second half though and we will get at least one more goal.

Brilliant pen from Haaland, right in the corner. No one is saving that.

People slagging Grealish off again. Sigh.

Fucking morons.

I mean, he really has been poor

He just doing nothing...not taking on his man, his crosses aren't landing, he's just been soooo passive it's

 

[bert38]

Grealish has played well. Looks eager, working hard, decisive. Bit unbalanced with two right footers on the left mind.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

All his own doing ,hope pg gives him a bollocking for that gesture ,no need for it.

Take him off and put Zinche….
No. Wait a minute.

The foul on Grealish. I still find it astonishing that the VAR doesn’t or can’t or won’t interfere.

Decent 1st half in tropical circumstances. We control it, but a second would help to what is always an uneasy score line.

No idea why they can't ask a ref to review a yellow? The rules suck

My god that turn of speed from Haaland was frightening.

A scouse **** at work has told me all week Haaland won't be able to handle the pace of the prem.

Monday can't come soon enough.

 

[discopop]

are you serious?

this guy is getting headlines everywhere, he is a superstar

He’s very serious it was pretty much the first thing out of Jone’s mouth. They fear him being a success

 

[urban genie]

Patient first half in unusual heat, some sloppy passing from all the midfield and shithousery from WHU and Oliver.

Overall though we a re doing fine, need to release early balls to Haaland on the move rather than where the last 2 years we would short pass to death

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Bullshit.

Do you think walker and cancelo two top international full backs aren't capable of doing an overlap? They've clearly been instructed not to. They are more than capable.

Err. Walker is a right back, so how that affects Grealish’s flank, only you can explain. As for Cancelo, his whole game from the left is about inverting into the middle. So no, neither are going to overlap Grealish.

 

[homerdog]

That was a crap half. Erling won and scored the goal all by himself from an overcooked pass from gundo in one of the only times he was played through...

Grealish useless, foden decent, kev nowhere, gundo frustrating....A whole lot of watching our defenders pass it around.

This is why there should be a dislike button!
