Match Thread | West Ham vs Man City Carabao (27/10/21)

[Stoned Rose]

Not a bad first half but seemed to playing with the handbrake on.

What's up with Kev this season? He seems away with the fairies.

 

[IT and Me]

Not a fan of putting his foot into a tackle that Sterling lad...

Sums him up really. Plays for himself not the team. Wasn’t always the case but 100% is now.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Kev has been awful, his pass completion must be down at less than ten per cent?

Only Zin trying with any type of quick ball.

Seeing Sterling give up a 50/50 ball near the end of the half was sad to see.

 

[PragueBlue]

KDB, Mahrez and Sterling looking out of sorts still. There was a time that those 3 would have struck fear into the opposition. Not so much these days. Palmer has been the pick of the attacking players.

Gundogan and Fernandinho quite quiet. Defence looks ok but hasn't had too much to do.

Let's hope for a bit more care and control with our passing 2nd half and and bit of intensity and we should win this.

Why so many comments about losing on pens?

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Poor first half. Let’s hope the second is better!

 

[LongsightM13]

I think we should stick with the current crop and change it fairly late if still 0-0. Grealish + Foden versus tired West Ham legs will cause all sorts of mayhem.

Ederson on at 89mins as an outfield player for the penalties

Why so many comments about losing on pens?

Just the usual pessimism, nothing more really.

It's depressing to watch a player of his calibre play as bad. I hope he finds some sort of form fast!

Zinchenko has been awful.. just jogging back everytime he lost the ball and leaving Ake to defend that side on his own.
