We didn't match them for effort at all and trying to play little triangles on the edge of the box is fcuking ridiculous we are not Barcelona. And this was West Ham we were playing what you don't wantt to do is give away set pieces in dangerous areas , uhh hello. Overall pretty sh#t performance certainly a 'work in progress' for Claude. NAA mate, this was open legs moment, we had them and should have the money shot, we foOKed it, and the manager couldnt even get the fluffer to perform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have the players with the technical ability currently to play the way Puel wants us to, but even with our relatively one-dimensional squad, we looked really decent in the first 40 or so minutes, and should have had them at 1-2 at least before half time.

I’m not sure what they created from those, the probabilities worked in their favour because we settled for a point, rather than attack and put them under pressure, which would have lead to less set pieces for West Ham...

Parafox Posted 24 November 2017 Share Posted 24 November 2017 8 minutes ago, Beechey said: Christ almighty, reading the posts on here you'd think we were just absolutely battered. West Ham created nothing from open play. We were denied a penalty which as it turns out, would have won us the game. Their entire game plan was "put Carroll in the box and smack the ball at him", and that is all they did all game. They ground out a 1-1 when the score should probably have been 1-2. They just played the Pulis way, and we got a point away from home. Why are we all acting like we're 19th and sinking without a trace? We had majority possession again away from home, yes we had less shots in total and on target than them, but I'm not sure they had a single effort with their feet. Chill out. Because it's WEST HAM and they are shitter than us. if we can't beat the likes of them we will be 19th and desperate. Having majority possession means **** all if you don't win the game. You must come from the Roy Hodgson school of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucey Posted 24 November 2017 Share Posted 24 November 2017 The Foxes tried to impose their high-tempo style from the first minute and they pressed high whenever Derby were in possession. This quote from the match report of our U23s game which was played at the same time tonight. Makes me a little sad. I imagine that will go soon as well, since they try to match the U23s play style to the first team's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted 24 November 2017 Share Posted 24 November 2017 When will the excuses stop. There will be excuses when we lose to Tottenham. Fact. I can already see the excuses when we draw to Burnley - They're doing well (oops, made an excuse myself there already! Must have been brainwashed). Newcastle are tough. Southampton, always tough for an ex manager to go back. Palace, relegation dogfight. Man Utd, well it's a free hit isn't it, we should lose to them Watford, they'll be full of Turkey. Liverpool, see Man Utd. Hudderfield, sore heads. THIS IS A RUN OF GAMES WE SHOULD BE PICKING UP POINTS FFS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbury Fox Posted 24 November 2017 Share Posted 24 November 2017 Really shocked by the negativity on here. This was a really tricky game as they were utterly desperate for a win. Just the sort of game we have typically lost in the past. For the first 30 minutes we were great, with some lovely passing moves and good pressing. Admittedly, West Ham came back a bit for the last 15 minutes of the first half but we looked totally in control until we gave away our traditional soft goal off a corner. That goal lifted them and in the second half they turned the game into a physical battle. We stood up to it well and whilst we were poor going forward we restricted them to very few chances. I think people are forgetting how well we started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was their game plan, and that's been our weakness for ages now. There aren't many people that will be able to mark Carroll out of a game when we're conceding 20 corners or free kicks on the edge of the box.

West Ham created nothing from open play. And we drew. Against a side who created nothing from open play. I'm not knee-jerk, I'm certainly willing to give Puel time and think tonight was just as much bizarre decision making from the players as it was his tactics, but here's no denying we should be beating these Football League sides. Mahrez was atrocious. I'm not sure where he was playing but he's never suited being a number 10 / "in the hole" type as he is very one footed and can often slow down play when he's in the middle. He's a winger and doesn't provide the bridge between defence and attack that Shinji does. Iheanacho is a poacher. Slim is a target man. Nobody offers what Shinji does and it's invaluable to actually getting Vardy involved. Fuchs is spent. I love the bloke, but he's had it now. This should be the season we're bedding Chilwell in - we aren't going down, put him in, let him get some valuable minutes and learn. Fuch has lost the legs but his brain is still there. Kasper isn't what he was, either. I don't know what it is, but his authority in his box has completely plummeted. We desperately need Silva or another body in the middle so we can switch to a three because at the minute we're leaving our most dangerous player completely devoid of any service. It was a crap game and the best player on the pitch was Iborra by an absolutely country bloody mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They created three very good shots on target. Which resulted in one goal, and two good Kasper saves. I think Kasper is worse at saving direct free kicks than saving shots from open play, so if I could choose I'd rather those WH chances to have been from open play.

Like I said they had a lot of set plays, we can’t defend them so the odds were one would go in... had we decided to play attacking football they wouldn’t have had half the set pieces they did have... because they would have had to concentrate more defending... we made them look decent and that isn’t a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
