Match Thread | West Ham vs. Man City (31/08/24)

Would you agree we should probably give him a year or two as a full senior player before passing judgement, though?

Passing comment rather than judgement. All of the young players, and we have many, have aspects to their game that need refining. :-)

thats all fine and i agree. its just that our keeper rarely saves us from a certain goal like other keepers do. for example i think De Gea would have saved that.

WH will tire second half and we will prosper

Lewis getting a fair bit of criticism this evening.

Certain parts of his game are. Other parts of his game are very good and are rightly praised.

I've missed it, who was it? Yer man Doku isn't getting as much stick as normal so I'm guessing not him.

Haaland for me, all he does is score, boring....

/S

Remember Arsenal winning here last season 6-0 I think? Those chances go in we would probably match 6 goals at least.

Gonna stick my neck out here and say I felt like Doku played perfectly fine that half

Ah, Rico. Must have missed some of them. I'm guessing it's for his defensive duties. People need to remember that our defenders are asked to do things that other defenders aren't - they spend a lot of time further forward than their counterparts in other teams.

I think..........

There have been some great performances so far, but Kovacic has been an absolute pleasure to watch.

The match thread is so funny.

You’d think a good third of the people in it dislike the club and/or many of our players based on the comments.

But critical comments are so much more stimulating, especially on a discussion forum. Praiseworthy stuff is great but just doesn’t always cut it for generating the discussion.
I really think you’re misunderstanding human nature and interaction with your post.

“Great first half, Haaland was mustard”. There you go.
