West Ham - Post match thread

[MarsLlama]

In five years time, Silva, Touré, Nasri, Hart, Aguero, Zabaleta, Kompany and Fernandindo will all be done or close to done at the top level.
Also in five years time De Bruyne, Jesus, Sterling, Sané, Iheanacho, Stones and Gundogan will be in the prime of their careers.

Swings and roundabouts.

no chance Hoddle said because their pitch is bigger than any other

If West Ham make the pitch smaller, they're more or less saying 'We want to play

no chance Hoddle said because their pitch is bigger than any other

Smaller pitches equate to long balls. SB is not a long ball manager.

Nevin was the same on the BBC Web site.
It's all bollocks the majority of PL pitches are Uefa standard Suze 105m * 68m.0nly a few are smaller - Stoke and Spurs are 66m wide ( for example). All have to comply ASAP.

Already looking forward to Sunday, should be a good game vs Swans.
And before anybody slides in with a pfft, or a pah, they won at Anfield recently it won't be easy.

How good were we? Didn't get to see any of it.

Brilliant performance tonight but let's not get too ahead of ourselves.
We played a team we always seem to beat. How many teams have we played or will play that are as open as west ham. That front 3 is amazing but against a parked bus type team will not have it so easy. So I don't expect it will always be the first choice selection by pep.
Just like certain people on pre match thread V spurs and hammers tonight, though yaya on his own in defence midfield would be found out, it's horses for courses. Pep will change his selection again to match opponents, I hope.

thoroughly enjoyed that!

i know west ham were shite but im gonna say we made them look like shite tonight.

our speed of thought, skill levels, workrate, desire, energy, calmness, ball retention, possession, & concentration. it was all there.

we arent the finished article i know, but fuck me, we are getting glimpses this season of what the future will hopefully look like, and im liking it a lot!

Bang on mate.

Funny how people hear different things in commentary and focus on the negatives.

I noticed the commentator praising our 'sumptuous' football in the first half and I was loving it.

 

[HarrytheBlue]

Didn't think BT were that bad, a couple of the main commentators comments aside. Any more praise and it would have been sycophancy.

Great performance. The front three were excellent, but I also thought Toure in the deep lying role was superb.

Yaya, Silva and KDB controlled the game allowing our superb front three to run riot.

Much more solid at the back today, Willy has done more than enough to keep his place.

We are the best team in this league by a country mile, need to sort the consistency out and we will absolutely fly.
