West Ham - Post match thread

[Cheadle Blue]

I'm not getting carried away, but for blues that are a similar age to me, that only watched crap on the pitch until 2008, tonight was so special.

To actually watch top class 19/20 year olds play like that, was an absolute joy

I always dreamt that we would get a class youngster, that we could watch develope into a genuine world class player, but now it's a reality, and not just one

I'm one happy bunny

Need to remember that Sergio has had a knock and only started training a couple of days ago, nice easy decision for Pep to leave him on the bench.

Now, the Sunday selection is a different kettle of fish....

It was wonderful.

The next trick is to develop a method of staying in a game when it goes wrong.

Then if we solve that, we win everything.

Outstanding performance.
Just wish we'd thrash someone 8 nil and not ease off. Sure that day is not too far round the corner.

Wait until the derby gets rearranged. ;-)

"I think if Manchester City play the team they did tonight away from home against other team, they will be found out.

"They are far too open. Yaya Toure, as the holding midfielder, won't get around enough against decent teams.

Sergio has 18 in 24 for Pep....

But his overall work rate hasn't been up to scratch, hence why he has been dropped the last 2 games.

Or if we could just take our bloody chances like tonight, and outscore difficult opponents!

a few tweaks and we've got one hell of a team, especially if the manager stays and carry on with his ideas

It would be a waste to just stay 3 years

Like spurs did for an hour?....

The big inform team got well and truly bummed, only a dodgy ref saved them

Sane, Sterling, Jesus, Stones, Garcia. Roberts?

De Bruyne

Yaya, Navas, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Bravo, Kolarov, Zabaleta, Kompany, Sagna et al.

We have a large imbalance in our squads ages. If we can nail that high caliber peak age of 24-26 for some quality signings and balance it with our potential and experienced players, we'd be a potent force.
