West Ham (A) - EFL Cup R4 - Post-Match Thread

[Northerndave]

Steffan never looked confident for any of the penalties.

I don't agree. He managed to get his fingers on two of them. He was the better keeper in my opinion.

When are we going to sign a striker eh? Almost eveything was sent to their keeper ffs, who was the motm. And until Foden came on there was a serious lack of pace and urgency in the team. Not at our best tonight but still way better than West Ham, but credit to them for sticking at their plan and I hope they go further in the competition.

When the window is open and someone is available.

kane was a rip off at £150m so we didn’t buy him.

there’s no guarantee of that at all. I wouldn’t want city not to win cups just so we might win the champions league

win them all

Nobody has ever won them all. Ever. That’s the point.

2 less games to worry about in January.

This one hurts more than I thought it would. This is our bloody cup

As long as we win the league again and smash the rags twice I'll be chuffties

We'll play right into those cunts hands unfortunately.

Problem is when it gets to pens it is a lottery. The run had to come to an end eventually.

Yep, it was gonna end sometime! It's been a great run while it lasted. We go again next season!

Can have zero excuses there. Out with a whimper. Piss poor showing, no desire in that game at all. To throw away a 5 year reign like that is infuriating. Every single one of our forward players were total dogshit all night, kdb, gundogan, sterling mahrez and Palmer were all as bad as each other, casually jogging around waiting for somebody else to do something, never bothering to show for a forward pass and instead just looking to pick up the ball in the same areas as one another and have nothing infront of them each time they pick up the ball, it was easy for a second string west ham.

Its not the lack of a striker that's cost us because not once did we get the ball into a position where you could say a Kane or whoever scores there, its everybody on the pitch wanting to do the same thing coming towards the ball with no willingness to run off it

Don't know why anybody is focusing on the penalties, that's not knocked us out, it should never get to that stage. That's a lottery, it was in our hands to win it before it gets to that.

I'm not for one second having this bigger fish to fry and less games bollocks after the last 4 years of winning it. It's 4 more games for another trophy, 4 games that players who are complaining about not playing would get more game time had they not been shit tonight.

Shit happens!

hope WHU/Pool/Chelsea/Spurs get the draw against each other.
