West Ham (A) Match Thread

[adam]

What a crap bit of goalkeeping. We are far the better team though. Still not sure about this front 4. Seem very lightweight 

[Guest]

Mahrez is giving the ball away so much we'd be better off with Slim on.

 

Gray hasn't done much either.

 

Fuchs is a disaster when players attack down his wing.

 

On the plus side Iborra is the class on the pitch.

 

poor to not be winning this one so far though.

[muhelos]

Reminder that Mahrez does this every game but people don't want to see it

[egg_fried_rice]

Pathetic end to the half. West Ham are rubbish but we keep giving them corners and free kicks.

 

Mahrez has been poor. Not a fan of Gray's hissy fit either, he could've finished at the back post if he wasn't sulking.

 

I still think we'll win, but we need to get out of second gear and make our passes count in the final third.

[PhillippaT]

Well, my prediction of 2-1 to us won't happen without them scoring once, right?

Cant remember a worse Mahrez performance than this so far.. must've given the ball away 10 times? 

The sad thing is he gives the ball away to the opposition so much, but when it comes to passing to our player in the box he goes all out for a freaking solo worldy. 

[Realist Guy In The Room]

Been in the position so many times that one good ball sends someone free

in the box.

 

Riyad really is a ball greedy ****.

[egg_fried_rice]

Kasper and Wilf on that corner

Can Gray and Mahrez play together all the time? We're just so light weight in that position and we're surrendering possession form them either being weak or their often half hearted football giving away cheap ball.

Was thinking the same thing

 

[surrifox]

Ffs if we drop points against this utter shit shower it'll be a fecking farce 

[AlloverthefloorYesNdidi]

Probably the most frustrating performance from Mahrez in a while

[UPinCarolina]

I’m debating not watching us meltdown in the second half. 

 

Yes, I’m being negative. No, I don’t think it’s unwarranted.

I hope Puel will have a small conversation with Mahrez and Gray because they're doing their best to sabotage each other. Shit behavior. 

Both are trying too hard to show that they are better than each other. I don't think we can afford both on the pitch at the same time.

Positives 

Simpson's back post defending

Iborra

 

Negatives

Fvcking set pieces

It would help if we didn’t concede so many bloody free kicks then - so fvcking angry at that half against sh1t opposition 

[Aus Fox]

Mahrez and Gray need to sort their shit out or one/both of them need to go off.

The ref has screwed us again, stonewall penalty and at 0-2 this game is dead.

We need to learn to defend set pieces much better.

[Dr The Singh]

Not Happy

[Vacamion]

 

We get that penalty, we’re probs out of sight and their fans turn even more than they already have.

 

We’ve chucked it away.

 

Not capitalising on leads is becoming a theme, innit...

Hate to be right and we haven’t even shown the incisiveness we did up there

 

terrible self discipine with out tackling and poor decision making in possession - we didn’t used to suffer on possession turn over because we weren’t playing any football!

 

 

What's infuriating is that they don't even have to work to win the ball back off Gray and Mahrez, they'll just his a half hearted pass to one of their players.

[Guest Kopfkino]

Gray should be benched for the strop when Mahrez didn't give him the ball, all he had to do was gamble on Vardy's cross. Bellend.

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Kin ell! Good performance to be fair without the cutting edge we needed and we should be 2 or 3 up.  West Ham really are a nothing team and we should win this, gutting to be going in at 1-1 really

[lgfualol]

Bring Slim on for Mahrez or Gray. We should be smashing these.

[foxes_rule1978]

i Will give Mahrez another 15 or so but his passing has really put us under pressure and resulted in the goal, no need to try an impossible ball when we have committed forward... it is suicide should learn from Iborra when and how to make a pass

[Rogstanley]

I think Mahrez knows he's in the shop window tonight. On that showing he'd do well to get a move to a championship club never mind champions league. Woeful. The worst I've ever seen him play.

 

Gray no better and Albrighton just Albrighton. 

 

Should have had them dead and buried after 20 minutes.
