West Ham (H) Post Match Thread

Just got to keep winning and we are managing that at the moment. Lads need a well earned rest

So many mard-arses in this thread..we won! Who cares how we did it, bonus... the scousers are pissed off that we won the game on penalty. :)

+1

Nervy victories are tough for sure but at this stage who cares about how well we play on a particular day as long as we get 3 points and we played well.

Imagine Liverpool fans talking about agenda and conspiracies against them and enjoy that thought.

 

[FantasyIreland]

We didn't make the most of our total dominance and we missed opportunities that should have been put away.

However,given the circumstances......two or three were under par but i cant fault any of them for effort,and it was a great 3 points in a game that could easily have been a banana skin.

I agree with many on here and many in the pub before the game that Silva and KDB hopeless all season. I'd drop Silva for Foden. Bernado nailed on for player of the season. We badly miss Fernandinho. Laporte and Stones too. So pleased to have won ugly although we deffo deserved to win. We won v Schalke Chelsea and West Ham and not played well in either game which can't be bad really.

What do you mean not played well in all three games, that because we didn’t win 6-0. Utter rubbish, absolutely bossed last night

These are the games you look back on when the players show the trophy on bus rooftop and say good penalty.

Yes we did and that's why we deserved to win. They were abysmal managing just one shot. But we were not much better in that respect. There are games we've 'bossed' this season and lost. Last night was frustrating because we found it difficult to hit the target and in the end ended up relying on a penalty to do so. The fans in the stadium were getting increasingly frustrated as the game looked to be passing us by.

The only difference between last night's game and the Chelsea 6-0 game was the quality of the finishing in the first 20 minutes. While we are creating chances there's not a huge problem.

 

[eversince 76]

Missing Fernandinho and Laporte is huge.
Not starting Sterling and Bernardo is huge.
KdB and Silva off form is huge.
Tired legs from the League Cup final and penalty's is huge.

And still we created loads and won. Resultwise it looked like a tough game that we only won by an awarded penalty, yet in reality I think we totally dominated, created and deserved the win.

 

[Tb1981]

I think tonight shows how much we need sterling and bernado in every game
Considering no fern Laporte stones either it’s a good result
More importantly dippers hammered Watford and only stay one point in front. A win is a win

 

[give it to gordon]

I'll take that a few days after a final and extra time and the lose of two key players. Let's keep putting the points on the board :)

 

[sir baconface]

The criticism this team takes at times beggars belief. There are occasions when it's justified but they're few and far between, and tonight wasn't one of them. Great three points in in a totally dominant performance. What more does anyone want?

A 6-0 scoreline and Mahrez scoring off his left tit.

 

[willipp]

Wasn’t the greatest game, but all that really matters at the moment is winning. We get through the next few weeks with ropey 1-0’s and I’ll be delighted.

This. Why can’t we win with an offside goal like a proper team?

Playing a parked bus week in week out creates those problems, doesn’t mean we were poor. I think the stats were something like 20+ attempts with 7 on target, so not quite the same as West Ham’s 1 shot.
Last night could easily have been a 5-0 score line, it wasn’t but it was 3 points and we move on.

Yep. We absolutely dominated and conceded one chance all game.

Menanwhile we could have easily scored 5 or 6. To describe the performance as atrocious or clueless is as moronic as it is hyperbolic.

Great effort from a tired team missing some key players. Rest now and go again Saturday.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Good win after a tough week or so. Glad we were playing West Ham who looked halfway to the beach for me already. No threat at all going forward.

The subs changed the game and Mahrez and Sane were rightly hooked.

Still not firing on all cylinders currently and De Bruyne and Silva still not at the top of their game but a win is a win at this stage of the season. Really should be taking more of these chances though. Silva and Sterling should have scored.

 

[SWP's back]

They were abysmal managing just one shot. But we were not much better in that respect.

Shots:

City 20 - West Ham 2

On target:

City 7 - West Ham 1

Think you may need to redefine ‘not much better’.

 

[M12Blue]

Don’t know if mentioned but I thought Aguero’s movement and link up play last night was as good as I ever seen him.

I thought it was very could.
