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

[Didsbury Dave]

and? Your looking at the past. Who’s to say we can’t.

as I said years of winning nothing I want to win as many trophies as possible. It’s not going to last forever

Read what I said: I said it isn’t the end of the world. Just as it wouldn’t be to go out of the fa cup. Because it eases congestion and allows to make a better fist of the premier league and champions league, both of which will be very competitive this year.

I didn’t say I wanted us to lose either so get off your big blue high horse. This is not a complicated or controversial point or one that anybody sensible would argue with.

We lose so infrequently now I forgot how quickly all the fucking nutters come out chucking every player in the team under the bus and chat like not being able to score is an ongoing and regular occurrence.

It’s cringeworthy mate. And very rag/dipper like

why are all the away teams booing grealish ?? i don't understand it he had a good world cup and everybody was cheering him on and willing him to score

Not far short of a year ago, when we beat the rags superbly in the semi-final, I looked in on Redcafé. Someone posted “We've got bigger fish to fry”. Well, in the end, they had no fish to fry. The frying pan was empty.

I'll never, ever say that. I'm disappointed. Disappointed because on every single count except the result we distinctly dominated that match. Seven shots on target. Eight off. Not one in the back of the net.
Winning breeds confidence, and breeds the habit of winning.
Pissed off.

Nail on the head. If Pep wasn't arsed then play a team of academy players. All this does is sap at players confidence.

Pleased with Ake, Stones, Zin, Fern, and Palmer.
West Ham were as well organised as you would expect but we were the better team and penalties are a lottery - you'd never expect Phil to shoot wide but it happens.
KDB is so out of form and I really feel for him as it is obvious that he knows and that it is really preying on him. Gundo looks a bit short of match practise and Cancelo definitely did not look as solid as Kyle but the substitution was understandable. Hopefully, losing this match benefits us a little in the long run.

Meh, can't win every year.

Fwiw Bayern lost 5-0 tonight with a full strength team. So it could be worse..

 

[Rammy Blue]

yep it was a free header 6 yards out and you have to score ? you head it down to one of the corners they teach you
maybe sterling was off that day the teaching of headers was on the rota

No belief, it was just stick his head on it and hope. Wank.

Thread is full of melodramatic morons. I’m off.

We played 3 defenders who`ve hardly played this season. We played the out of form Sterling and De Bruyne, and took out the 2 players who work the hardest in Bernardo and Jesus.

The first part of your statement isn't the problem. They didn't concede in open play, and did a workmanlike job.
The second part is the problem. Sterling is finished as having a major impact. Kev is very, very worrying.
