West Ham A Match Thread. Brace yourself.

Maybe, just maybe the way Rodgers teams train and play brings gradual fatigue and it's something they'll learn to cope with when contending with European football too next season. There have been warning signs with our play of late, I think we need to change something but 9 changes is over kill. Should have been rotating 2-3 since early Dec.

On the other hand, that could have hurt more games than just doing it all at once would have though. The 9 changes should probably have been against Liverpool, but who knows how the team would have reacted to that.

Missed the first half, sounds drab?

[Dahnsouff]

Not too shabby. Perez off later for Dennis, Wes to the knackers yard (but with love obviously) replaced with <insert-defender-who-isn’t-Soyuncu>

What a weird half. 

Quite!

 

Pre-match was:

 

As the game progresses:

 

We score:

 

They score:

what a awful goal to give away

 

sloppyness in the final third could cost the lads again here

 

Vardy if fit would have a field day with their back four.

Should have already wrapped this game up! Despite all the changes we totally outplayed them and they scored with their first good effort. 

 

Will be interested to see what Rodgers does. I suspect he’ll not make changes until 60 or unless they score again.

 

Genuinely surprised how bad West Ham have been. So many of their players MIA.

Why not watch the game before you start to slag us off

[Farrington fox]

Disappointed. Deserve to be in front. 

Bring on Caglar for wes and madders perez early doors. We could still win this.

He is. They've just had a baby so given time off.

[Lcfc-1992]

Maddison for Perez

[Nicolo Barella]

This has been ok. Perez isn't Maddison though. Morgan has been hilarious.

Did yourself a favor. although could have been worse considering 9 changes and no vardy.

That was a very disappointing half. Felt disjointed, as one could expect given the mass changes.

it was no worse and imo a lot better than recent first half dispalys

[SheppyFox]

Wes runs the 100m in 23 seconds nowadays, how do you expect him to defend? Bit unfair of you really 😂

Would like to see him retained as part of the backroom staff. But agree his playing role should end this summer.

His playing role should end at half time. What had happened to Virgil Van Benko????

[Bats8711]

I think Mendy has been really good, especially considering extended layoff.  

 

West ham are awful. I understand the changes but it’s hard not to think even a mostly first 11 are cruising this game. It’ll be a tough pill to swallow if we drop points here. I just don’t really know what changes to make given the options.

Pellegrini is a relic. He'll take them down

[funkyrobot]

Fuchsy is diving in and selling himself all over the shop including for their goal. Stay on you feet Christian. Also it was so painfully obvious that Gray was going to miss that pen and sure enough he did ffs

[foxinsocks]

Why are we playing at 17.30 if it's not on the telly? Anyone know?

Nah. It's been a good, open game.

 

Could easily end up 3-3.

[TheF1Bob]

How anyone can call us drab after what we've seen recently I mean come on.

I know how our fans would have reacted to it.

IMO it was actually quite entertaining... just lacked real sharp quality

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Am stuck in a family do and sneaking to catch updates. Sounds like the 'second' team is doing alright apart from Gray's penalty and the crap goal we conceded?
