West Ham United (A) | Sun 7th Aug | Post Match Thread

[bert38]

Tactically brilliant from Pep, inverted fullbacks suffocated West Ham-Rodri brilliant second half. Haaland scary-loved how he opened his body for the second goal.

Great performance that against that lot who are hard to beat there, did it comfortably in the end.

Rodri looks like he's gone up another level, Grealish looked a lot better (outside of the predictable meltown in the match day thread) Ake & Dias were great at the back.

Haaland is something else. We all knew it but to see it finally was amazing. The second goal would've just scared the entire league.

Rodri should have been MOTM, simply perfect.

Haaland, you legend.

 

[Lavinda Past]

West Ham proving that there's no point trying to actually beat City, and effectively killing the game as entertainment.

We'll see a lot of negative opposition performances like that this season. Anyone who tries to take City on will get battered.

If it hadn't been a City game, I'd probably have switched off before the second goal.

We'll walk the PL this season.

Never felt more like singing the Blues..!!

Gundog was a metronome in midfield.

Can't fault that team performance for the first proper competitive game.

 

[The perfect fumble]

From RAWK after our win....

I'm bothered by everyone saying just give up. If that's how our fans think then fuck it, why fucking bother watching the footy, all a forgone conclusion and we are now nowhere near them, so fuck it let's all just not watch this year.

Unless we all think it'll be a struggle for top 4 and that's what we are aiming to achieve

All that is mad talk. But I dont think its wrong to say anyone is bothered by them. I dont watch much of them but they bother me greatly and are the second result i look at. They definitely live rent free in my head.

Fuck this I’m charging City from now on , no more living in my head rent free .

HAHAHAHAHA

Everyone better be watching Haaland’s post-match interview.

What did he say?

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Rodri very good also.

He was quality! He is pretty much every game!

Blimey bbc now calling for Erling to be fined
Erling Haaland has just dropped some blue language in his interview with Sky, describing missing out on a hat-trick as a bit... well, you can have a guess.

Upon being asked to mind his language, he accidentally said it again in exclamation.

Don't know if City have a fines system like Steven Gerrard has instilled at Villa, but that's gonna be costly to him if so.
