Match Thread | West Ham vs Man City (24/10/20)

[hertsblue]

Sadly we are probably the 1 team in the PL teams actually want to play against these days as we are so predictable, slow and full of errors its Xmas come early.
Teams are targeting our left side as we have done nothing to address this for 2 years, they know we are extremely slow in midfield and cannot get back once countered and are hardly any threat up front any more so all they have to do is sit back, defend deep and press us knowing at least 5 times in a game our players will give them a sloppy pass and they can just walk through our midfield and our defence will panic. Team talks must be defend deep as they are clueless up front and as we will score from our 1st shot, they need 2

The buck has to stop with the manager.

He's either blind or not as great as I thought?

Garcia running in treacle, Rodri the wrong side of the ball, Sterling so passive.

As for Mahrez, there are no words to describe it.

I'll just go for lazy selfish prick.

Mind blowing some of the comments on here.

It's a good competitive game of football, and we are a goal down because of a wonder strike punctuating a move with a handball in the build up, which would 100% have been ruled out at the other end of the pitch.

We have been utter shite, but the above is also spot on.

 

[Whether or not]

How Mahrez is starting every game this season is fucking beyond me. Looks like he's going through the motions, get a hungry Foden or Torres on in his position. Foden kept him out of the team after project restart, this is beyond gash from Mahrez and has been most games this season.

He's not the only one, but every time he gets the ball he either gets tackled, passes to a claret shirt or blasts it out of play. Shite.

So passive in midfield too which is resulting in Antonio and Bowen turning Garcia and doing him for pace every time. Not difficult, mind, my nan is faster.

To be honest, based on that half, 6 or 7 of them look to be going through the motions, Pep included. Got to improve, we are better than this.

I could copy and paste my comments from the first half against Porto because it's the same problem from the same side. I just wonder what they expected to be different. It wasn't impressive last time and isn't today. Foden needed badly.

Pep out!

Andy Morrison in!


Haven't all you fucking rags and dippers in here every match day got nothing better to do?

Neither a rag nor a dipper but Guardiola is consistently picking the wrong team and is seemingly content to have us play predictable ineffective football each week

 

[King Jay]

Pep won‘t ever realize that u need fast players in today’s game. He really insists to play with Rodri,Gundo and Garcia. And he replaced Sané with Mahrez.

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Aguero is carrying, pulled something I reckon

That would at least explain his performance. Offering nothing so far (by no means the only one)

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

Tremendous goal from Antonio and you don’t want to see VAR wipe a goal like that out but they haven’t conclusively shown the handball, just a poor angle and that’s it.

Cancelo would fit seamlessly into the worst of City teams. How Pep thinks a player who has failed at right back is the man to fill the left back position is way beyond me.

And how much did we pay for him. What a fucking waste
