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

[Legal Alien]

I don't think our finishing is the issue, it's the quality of the chances we are creating.

I dunno, some of the players just look like they aren't confident in front of goal so always want to make the extra pass or try to walk it in.

Haaland would make such a difference to us

Poor

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

I kinda know what u mean, but i also want to win every single game. I cant will us to lose

I hope Phil learns from that miss. It looked a bit half-arsed tbh.

His finishing recently has been poor. He misses so many clear goal scoring chances. If he worked on his shooting then he’d be getting 30 a season.

 

[PragueBlue]

Too many players off their games I''m afraid but we still should have won that in normal time.

Midfield 3 were quite poor and Sterling and Mahrez too. Palmer the only forward with any real desire.

Right now Foden, Grealish, Rodri and Bernardo have to start all the important games.

come off it. It was a one off penalty

 

[BuryBlue1977]

Don't have much hope form this season unless we get a striker. Have to settle for top 4

 

[Del_Bosque]

Not fussed at all we are out

3 mid weeks off now in Dec and Jan

could make a big difference in a tight title race

 

[bluesmith]

We were due to lose a penalty shoot out, it's been a while

I said the same, law of averages was well against us there.

Rather lose to WHU now than get beat in a final is the only positive for me.

 

[Stelea]

Gundogan. Why hasn't he taken one?

He probably forgot as he seemed to be in a daze for 90 mins

 

[Jason]

Also Kev is just not on it

One of the best players in the world but this season he looks shite.Think he needs a good break much prefer Bernado for now

 

[skillman]

I’ll tell you one thing. That penalty camera angle can get fucked

 

[Claytop]

Is there any player you’d least want to see on the end of a big chance than Sterling?

I mean, he wasn’t any worse than some of the others but his finishing is actually laughable currently.

 

[Beanhead]

De Bruyne definitely hasn't lost it but I think we've seen the last of his best.

Doesn't get in our strongest XI right now, in my opinion.

If this is him now.. he’s lost it. If he can find his rhythm again he starts.. it’s one of the other for me. He’s either Godly or shit on a stick.

 

[brummie blue]

Once again, failing to take chances cost us. West Ham hardly had a shot on target and bearly seemed interested in attacking, must have been delighted to get to penalties

 

[DMA's]

Gundogan. Why hasn't he taken one?

I don’t know but to compare him to ronaldo really is quite something. He doesn’t strike me as a selfish players at all tbh

 

[nellyonthewing]

Prior to this game City scored 9 in last 2 games lol

Read what I said... I said 'reliable' - 9 in 2 is no use when its 0 in 1 that is a Quarter Final Place.

 

[Kippax77]

Media frenzy now no doubt to soothe the Rags

 

[wolviedinho]

You can’t win them all. Far too many individuals off the pace and it showed. We had more than enough talent on the pitch to win.

Well I hope the fringe players are happy as they will be back on the bench. Some players have lost their edge and need sold.

 

[burning blue soul]

Cue HUGE over reaction

The reaction will be the correct one. If we get outplayed and lose, fair enough. But we outplay a team and lose, then the gloves should come off.
