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

[remember arthur mann]

I dont believe in throwing games away and I think Pep did.

Catching off Ole.

 

[Shaffer92]

Nothing to prove in this comp and alleviates fixture congestion later, well done hammers.

but it's also an opportunity for Pep to give minutes out.. even fewer going around now

 

[Stelea]

All 4 are out of form or lacking game time or both.

No excuses for Sterling, Mahrez weak as piss, Benefit of doubt to Gundo and KDB

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Big teams go for all of them.

As we did just a few months back. It was incredibly exciting to be in the latter stages of all four competitions. We were just three matches away from winning them, too.
I'll never be blasé about the league cup because time was when I would have been absolutely made up to be at Wembley in any kind of final. And that's still the case, in fact.

Still revelling in the scouse swamp massacre, not happy but if it had to be anyone WHU is ok.

Well if he did, fair fucks to him.

Klopp does it every season and he's picked up the champions league and the dipper's first ever premier league title.

Did you go to the CL final last year. We lost that but not because we won the Carabao Cup. IMO because of team selection.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Take it.
Takes away excuse of too many games in January and march

You want City fans to ‘Take it’ and, at this stage of the season, stop us using it as an excuse for circumstances that cannot yet be seen?

You seem excited that we lost.

I thought Stones, Ake and Zinchenko played well at the back.
If Stones and Zinchenko get back in the 1st team i think they'll be back for good, barring injury.
Fair play to Ake, he looks better the more games he gets.

Cole Palmer had a good game too, he was unlucky on a couple of occasions and i like that he doesn't hide and is always looking for the ball.

Phil showed when he came on, penalty miss aside, that he's our best player!

Still out on Ake me.
Should of scored, then gave stupid free kick away for grabbing a shirt of the slowest player on the pitch.
Maybe it's just how massive Dias is that I'm judging

 

[Mike N]

I wanted us out tonight tell you the truth bigger fish to fry

I didn’t want us out but we certainly have bigger fish to fry.

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

So even as shit as he is atm, you blame Sterling for losing a penalty shoot out that he didn’t take part in. That’s just embarrassing. You’d have picked him over Phil would you?

No. I'm blaming gundogan. The fact that he didn't take part is what is annoying me. If he'd have taken one and missed I wouldn't be bothered.
