Match Thread | West Ham vs Man City (16/09/23)

[remember arthur mann]

Some whoppers on here as usual

Full of rag's today.

 

[Silva&Silva]

Not at all, WH are a very good side , full of confidence, tough game this one.

You do know you support City?

 

[argyle]

He’s been shit and is the reason we’re loosing. He’s also the reason we won the treble. But today he’s been shit so far and there’s no getting away from it. He’s missing sitter after sitter atm. Luckily he’s still scoring most games but he’s the reason we’re losing so far today. He’s not god you know. He can be criticised and loved at the same time

He missed two chances. Doesn't make him shit.

Our opponents scoring with their first (ok second on this occasion) chance happens frustratingly too often

Actually played well but Haaland has been terrible!!! Utterly terrible. No hiding from the fact he’s missing too many sitters atm. Need him to click. Doku good but that tracking back was abysmal. It’ll come. But ffs Haaland

His whole game is way off right now. His touch today is horrific

For who?

Comedians.

 

[city saint]

I’d take a draw right now

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Also, the overall defending for their goal was awful. Dias was with Antonio, so what is Akanji doing trying to mark Antonio? Where was Gvardiol? What was Ederson planning with that dive?

Ederson is never going to bail us out. Very average keeper

 

[Keeper!]

Utterly bizarre how quick people are to dig out Foden for a bad corner but will fall on their sword when it comes to Erling missing not one but two sitters.

Stockport boy, can't do wrong ;)

If he wants that 10 shirt he has to do more and consistently

Gvardiol gets done and doesn't get back, Dias and Akanji conspire to mark the same man and Walker is nowhere to be seen. Not Doku's fault at all.

Yeah watching it again Gvardiol gets done and jogs back worse than Doku. Dias stumbles on Antonio then goes to the ball and Akanji gets stuck trying to track Antonio who is ball side and Ward Prowse who is behind him. In the end he doesn’t really mark either but really both he and Dias should probably be angry with the lot of them because there just should be more men getting back. I have no idea where Walker is on all this and Bernardo and Rodri probably could have been in there too.
