West Ham - post match thread

[Daz_Blue]

Having these for dinner would you go tomato and basil sauce or alfredo ?

 

[bumbleblue]

Jesus Qunin won't let this go about the fucking elbow.

 

[Feed the Elk]

Quinn and rednapp have said he should be banned so that's it. He's banned

Tossers

 

[fergal_oc]

Fuck them, if he gets a ban, we appeal and walk in with a video of bogbrush elbowing his way around the grounds without punishment, job done.

They've shown it loads, mariner was looking right at it, caught him with his hand and not elbow. Not a problem, Serg will be fine.

 

[Heisenberg's Blue Sky]

How about talking about the 45 mins of almost total football?

Us winning 3-1?

Being top of the league?

Sterlings form and goals?

No.....lets tow the sky line of slow motion replays making something look far worse than it is and discuss us losing arguably our best player.

Fucking unbelievable Jeff from some on here who seem unable to comment on the good yet cant fucking wait to stick the boot or knife in.

The same thing some on here get mad that the media do to us, yet we're perfectly happy to do it to our own 5 min after the final whistle. Fuck Niall and Jamie. Both cunts. Fair play to Terry Henry.

 

[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

The same negativity on here, is the same as the fans in the ground getting clearly nervous when we were in control of the game, its in grained to be negative and expect the worst for City with some, years of conditioning maybe, glass half empty people maybe or maybe some people just cant enjoy the finer things in life. We played some beautiful stuff today, and yet negativity and the worst case scenario is all some can see.

Its a great time to be a City fan, maybe the best ever, its a shame some just cant enjoy it.

"John Stones had a little bit of a problem and did not win the duels. He might have been tired which is why we made the substitution."

Haha I got grief on the matchday thread for suggesting he was taken off because he kept missing tackles etc.

 

[franksinatra]

We will have to wait and see with regards Aguero. Either way I am pretty confident we can handle it. We have so many options. Nacho could come in as a like for like or Gundogan could move into Silvas role with Silva playing as a false number nine. Similarly Sterling could move upfront with Sane dropping into his position.

 

[johnmc]

Ref saw it. No ban.

 

[Sky Blue]

Proof that Quinn is a closet red ****.

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Looked like we had no energy left after a great 1st half. Stopped pressing high and allowed them more space down the wings. Win is a win but I get the feeling Pep might have words after the game as didnt look happy on the sideline in that 2nd half

 

[NorCalBlue]

Anyway.

Silva is top in assists since he arrived but I'd love to know how many times he has played the pass before the assist as well. Time and time again and his performances so much better than last year this far.

Silva's not the type of player to regularly dribble past 3 defenders and smash it in the top corner all on his own - he needs team-mates making the right runs for him. If they do, he's f**king deadly. Last year they didn't, this year (so far) they have.

And it's a good point about "assisting the assist". One of the innovations I like about Major League Soccer in the States is that they give up to two assists per goal. If they did that in the Prem, Silva would double his number of assists.

Good to know, I turn off at full time, as I can make my own mind up about the game and dont need to hear what some **** like Redknapp has to say on anything.

 

[lostgalaxy]

I hope when the players get used to the system they consume less energy.

Right now we run the risk of burning out.

Also there are other tricks to keep possession rather than running and passing. Barca players are all tricksters.

My predction is in the end we'll reach a compromise. We'll keep the ball when we want and defend when we choose to.

No energy yet ran a combined 115km....6 more than West Ham, had 67% possession, just short of 600 passes and 22 shots.

Stop talking crap.

 

[RandomJ]

Seriously what did we do to Quinn? Guy loathes us.

 

[Blue_Rossy]

3pts job done, happy days. Simple.

Are they the 2nd half stats tho?

 

[BuryBlue1977]

Seen the replay many times. Don't worry he won't be banned for that. Fuck all in it.

Totally agree. Ref saw it, he will say so in his match report. No problem. As you say, Serg will be fine

 

[Pleatfooted]

Jesus Qunin won't let this go about the fucking elbow.

Never touched him with elbow
