Beechey Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Ndidi with another 7 tackles. That boy has some crazy octopus legs.
katieakita Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Poor 1st half much better 2nd half ref seemed to watching a different game missing loads of fouls both ways but they were happy to put a number of late challenges in Snodgrass a horrible nasty player.

His celebration was amazing, you could see what it meant to him. I thought we would win it after we equalised but we lost control of the game and let them back in. Still the future is very bright and very pleased with the fighting spirit. Where I think we need work is in how to control the game. Tielemans has both some good and bad touches but we couldn’t get him on the ball enough. Ndidi is the one that receives it the most and though he was decent, as we know he gives it away cheaply too often and it causes our attacks to break down. Tons of potential in the team and we made a lot of chances. Why did Nacho head it with his foot!? Good work in progress for Rodgers. Albrighton impactful. Despite the score our future is way rosier than the Hammers. If we're talking about the same attempt, he was offside anyway. The replay showed that he really had no chance with it.
Bats8711 Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 I think today made it very obvious that the side needs what Barnes brings. Nacho also was noticeably good and contributed when he came on.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 fantastic from Barnes, I think with Albrighton back it'll keep him on his toes. Think we were quite lucky, West Ham looked more up for it but happy with point not much to play for now anyway

The actual structure is stunning and Olympic Park is something else. Certainly going to enjoy a tipple or two in the park and sunshine before I head back ! But you sit so far back. I was about halfway back but still further back view wise than say the back of the Kop at the KP! God knows what it’s like if you are right at the back here. Also you can’t hear either set of fans and I don’t think West Ham are plastics because I thoroughly enjoyed games at the Boelyn and generally have a high opinion of Hammers fans compared to other London clubs. They made a good racket at that ground so I can see why they dislike this one, especially when away fans sing “You’re not West Ham anymore!” like we did today !
Tanya Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 The Good Excellent spirit in the second half. We looked fitter than them too. Exploited space well Riccy runs and runs and tackles and tackles. The opposition must think he's a noxious weed. Great acquisition and my man of the match Vardy. Lethal. Missed an easy-ish one last week but then pulls off a 9/10 difficulty screamer. Legend BARNES!! He looked a menace for the entirety of his time on the pitch. Excellent finish but his run into the space was superb. What a talent. Ndidi was everywhere and nipped in with some vital tackles. I love watching him thrive in his DM role. The Okay Thought Evans was quite good, and Nacho looked like he wants to convince BR to let him stay. He held the ball up nicely for our second Youri was pretty bad tonight but like all class acts still has a piece of filthy skill in his locker. Imagine being so good that you can play badly but still make an assist like that? The Bad Chilly tried hard but struggled a bit with Antonio's bulk. Got bullied a little Kasper's distribution Our wingers bar Barnes. Gray made every stupid decision in the book while Marc was a non entity bar one cross. I'm not sure either player is what we need going forward. Marc can't play possession football very well and Demari is all promise and no delivery abd frankly I'm over him. I'm sick of waiting around for the one performance a year when he delivers on his promise. I hope we are in the market for someone to take his place and for him to return being an impact squad. After that first half I'll take a draw. Also - if Shinji gets into a squad over Ghezzal does that mean BR wants rid?
HesNotGudjonsonn2 Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 I know some were saying the ref was poor for letting some things go but I thought he was doing it for both teams so pretty consistent. His only mistake in my eyes saved us from going another behind so I would say great performance.
Analysethis Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Im not sure why people keep saying we were lucky. We had more corners, more shots on target and slightly more possession. We werent great in the first half but after we equalised it looked like there would only be one winner and it wasn't them. Delighted for Barnes with his first goal and Vards for another goal. It wasnt a great performance but we were away from home against a decent side so overall its not a bad point.
Vacamion Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Barnes will become our starter in his position, but I still maintain that bringing him on (after he seemed to lose a bit of sparkle in recent games) rather than starting him today was the right decision. And it worked. We looked brilliant for a while in that second half. I know he got an assist at the end, but I was quite underwhelmed with Tielemans' other work today. Agree with everyone loving Ricardo's contribution. What a player he is. I hate watching MOTD when we lose, but a draw away is fine, so I'll have some of that.
TiffToff88 Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Got a new totally original, never been done before idea for a thread... "The many faces of Harvey Barnes"

The replay showed that he really had no chance with it. Ah ok thanks. Away fans were howling after that one! His link up play was not bad though! Still not sure what his position is? No way he could play as a lone striker and not really a 10 either. So I suppose a second striker when we go two up top when chasing games will be his role.
Vacamion Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Emoticon makers, do your thing with that Harvey pic.
RumbleFox Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 I don't understand the media sometimes, how was the draw "controversial"? He had more possession, the same amount of total shots and a couple more shots on target. I think a draw was a fair result? Why do they always have to create drama and uproar? Also, well played Harvey, first of many hopefully. XX
Matt Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Sounded poor. Sounded like how we've been for a large part of the season. It's been the case for a long time now, probably since before the half way stage of the season, I just want this season over, as I said when Rodgers came in this is just a massive pre season in terms of Rodgers assessing what he has and what he needs. Good come back though.
GeorgeTheFox Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 West ham coming across as right spiteful cvnts on Reddit and all over the internet. Shouldn't be shocked I guess

Think coming into a stretched game suited him. Albrighton also I felt was solid when he was on. Tielemans showed why he’s not ready for a top 4 club yet but even though he made errors, he did a lot of good too. Another assist and crucially he’s the one that makes the forward passes. This leads to errors but without him we’d sit back to much as we did under Puel. I think his signing is in the bag and have little doubt that in two seasons time he’ll be the real deal. He has all the ingredients.

st albans fox Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 Good to see Harvey on the right where he can take his man on and whip a cross in

Finnegan Posted 20 April 2019 Posted 20 April 2019 The BBC seem to be obsessing over the fact they had a goal incorrectly ruled out. Did they not have one incorrectly given like two minutes before? The love in for London teams is just bonkers sometimes.
