West Ham 2018/19

I thought they were pretty shit, to be honest and we could have had 5 goals on another day

Nothing upfront, very little out-wide and the only thing they had going for them was a half decent keeper, City being wasteful and blocking shots/crosses. M

Isn’t that pretty much the same when you play any team at home ? Your in a totally different league to us mid table minnows.

A fully fit side may have gave you more trouble, especially Arnaoutivic up top, Yarmelenko and Lanzini and a few others and we have the making of a very very good side. Enough to beat city at the Etihad ? No chance. Another 200 mill maybe.
 
I really thought Nasri would have a real go as returning former City players do, but he was totally sh*t.
I assumed he'd gone off injured, but then remembered I hadn't noticed he was even on the pitch, did he do anything ? Perhaps he showed us too much respect ?

Zab on the other hand, showed real respect, pretty much last to leave the pitch, went round all his former colleagues, and a huge hug from Brian Kidd on the way off.

You looked decent enough anyway to me, gave us a better game than most have this season, kept it close till the end, and with a bit of luck you could have taken a point. That said we should have been 3 up inside 5 minutes, but we were back to our wasteful worst in that department.

A bit unfair that as it depends on which aspect of their game you're looking at. I thought they offered less going forward than I expected but on the flip side they defended better than I expected.

Had a gander at their forum and it seems some have a low opinion of our fanbase these days based on about a dozen comments in the post match thread on here. Apparently we're self-entitled knobheads because the posters in question didn't spend enough column inches wanking off over the opposition, should've apologised profusely for being given a soft penalty, and the so-called good relationship we have with their fans is just us being patronising twats. Fuck me, I hope I never end up judging an entire fanbase based on the comments of a few people online. I wouldn't mind but the posts weren't THAT bad in the main compared to other post-match threads on here and arguably gave the Hammers more credit than our own team get following a routine 4-0 win ffs. And as much as I like West Ham and their fans, to talk about self-entitlement when many of them turned their noses up at Allardyce because he didn't play football the "West Ham way" smacks of pot, kettle, and black to me.

This is where my opinion differs from some - I don’t think they defended well as a team, at all. We could/should have had 4 or 5 goals but for last second blocks, poor decision making and poor finishing
