West Ham (H) Post Match Thread

Should have been 3:0 after 5 mins

And after that is was poor - very poor

I know. But I bet if you stuck him there he would add more value than Marhez. Would try far harder too.

Pep and Kev disagree listen to their post match interviews...not like you to go overboard though is it ;-)

You mean when I was insisting we play Ederson in the final?

Like Pep did?

Fucking lol.

That’ll do City
I thought we started really brightly, could have been a couple of goals ahead early but it wasn’t to be.
Not sure what the answer is for Mahrez, he’s trying too hard and probably needs a run of games but we can’t afford to play him at the moment.
I thought the pen was nailed on in real time, it looks soft when slowed down. Bernardo’s quick feet allowed him to get in front of the defender and once he is in front the defender can’t touch him so we’ll absolutely take it, soft or not.
Job done, 3 points

I can see why Leroy was annoyed tonight. He made so many runs, and was free so many times but we were just too slow to move the play and spot the runner. Whilst Mahrez wasn’t great I felt sorry for him when the fans moaned at him moving offside in the first half. It wasn’t his fault but Kevin wanted two touches. Kevin seems a yard off the pace right now and clearly not yet up to speed. Thought Danny was superb tonight and broke everything up and so strong. Bernie, what can you say created havoc as soon as he came on. Yet again Eddie’s concentration was fantastic and his save excellent. A big shoutl out to Zinny what a player he is becoming never lets us down and fantastic attitude. You can see why Pep trusts him and also a class act off the field. Nice decisive early substitutions from Pep tonight.

Mahrez simply needs to step up or he'll be left behind, we move on and honestly cut our losses, it sounds super negative and critical but when is the penny gonna drop with him. We are an elite squad and really can't afford passengers, at least when we're battling on all fronts, to bring on both raheem and Bernardo so early will most definately not been in the script and I can't see pep being too happy at having to do it, especially when both Leroy and Mahrez are two gifted players who should be taking a game like today's by the scruff of the neck. There, rant over and breath!!!! CTID

I don’t expect 6-0, I expect it to be tidier and for us to finish games.

We play like that until the end of May and it’s Liverpool’s.

We missed chances these type of games happen during the season.
We played well tonight, We played out the last 10-15 incredibly well not giving away silly set pieces to let West Ham get up the pitch to cause us problems. It was a professional performance. Especially after putting a hell of a lot of work in on Sunday to turn up three days later with energy levels tonight is outstanding.

If you think that was "Atrocious" you may watch another sport.

3 points is all that matters.
If we’d been that profligate against a better team we would have been punished.
Sane was poor as was Mahrez. Sterling and Bernardo looked good when they came on but both had played 120 mins on Sunday and shouldn’t have been needed.
