West Ham post game....

[carlosthejackal]

That second goal for West Ham summed up our defence without Kompany, a shambles

In Los Angeles apparently at the moment

Makes no sense whatsoever. Its a completely different side now and besides they are so much better than we are, injuries to Calzola, Wiltshire and Sanchez have stopped them from running away with this. When they get back I can't see any other team apart from Spurs that will challenge them. We have been very disappointing this season.

I was joking mate.

Are you seriously comparing Messi to sterling lol lol lol

No but don't be silly you get the point. This manager hasn't s bloody clue how to set up the players. The time to judge Sterling is under a decent manger.

Hope I am very wrong, but Sergio's expression after the equaliser and at full time was worrying. We know and unfortunately I think he knows he deserves much better. Sunday league defending for the Hammers 2nd.

Yep I agree, kun looks totally fucked off as does Merlin

Jelovic had half-chances and they hit the bar last header of the game......all happened in the last 10 minutes I believe......

if those chances for jelovic were half chances , then we have had hundreds this season,..............................i believe

Stop talking sense

lol mind you Im on my 2nd bottle of red so my judgement could be slightly out

Joe was mainly at fault for their 2nd in my opinion. He should be commanding his area and he had plenty of time to see the throw. The fact that valencia a didn't touch the ball until the 6 yard line says it all.

Otamendi should never lose his man in that situation, it's not as if the area was crowded.

 

[Mr HJ]

He is consistently average away from home and is a fucking fanny when it comes to making a challenge. Other than that he is great.

He and Silva cannot play away from home together. The defensive play today was awful from the whole team.

True - we just need a few to return to form and then we can accommodate both. You are dead right about defending as a team we were shocking at times we made Noble and Song look like Pele -but let's not get into the TV love fest of WHU which, does my head in. Sky seem to love it when we don't win.

 

[come-on-barney]

I doubt it is all down to Pelle. Was he at fault for the various brain farts committed by Otamendi in the last few weeks (e.g. throw in leading to the goal), De Bruyne unable to lift the ball over a wall, Silva passing the ball to the opposition, Yaya getting caught in possession, Sterling rarely making the right decision etc....

I am not saying he is blameless but it is not right that he is totally to blame.

But he has paid huge money for 'average' centre-backs, brought in MDM and continues to have absolute faith in him. If we win the league with this defence I will be amazed.....(but VERY pleasantly surprised...)
