Can’t see Dean Smith lasting much longer at Villa

West Ham are a good side but also going through a spell where things are going their way.

Good ol Mark, 450 games or more , rarely missed a penalty. Mr. reliable. If you are a fan of prissy prima donnas he wouldn't suit you. Me, just my sort of player.

You’d take him in our squad?

[Vacamion]

 

Villa clearly enjoying those millions they got for Grealish....

As I said last season as well, think that's me done with football if West Ham got into the Champions League. 

But they actually deserve it. They’re a very very good team.

I actually thought they were quite poor in the spell v Villa’s ten men until the third goal

West Ham are not a nice team and I mean that as a compliment. They're good going forward for sure and they've got some quality players, but they're also a team of bullies. They get physical everywhere and aren't afraid of a tear up, and now they're being ruthless against 10 men trying to get the goal difference up. Moyes has turned them into a team you really don't want to play against.

No ,not now, even Mr. indestuctable is showing his age. Twelve years ago I would have been very pleased to have him.

[Stinkenzo]

I don't understand how everybody hasn't got An Sionnach on block already

Again, they’re not a quality team. They are coached incredibly well and know their roles. It’s all a bit Burnley really.
 

Our defensive woes aside, I wouldn’t want half of their squad near ours.

We are , of course, a very nice team, and that, to me anyway, is not to our advantage.

WHU getting into the CL at the expense of one of the super league six is fine by me

[Ric Flair]

I've a lot of admiration for this West Ham side. It just gets the job done and they are strong all over the pitch with quality to boot. Can't argue with it, they are better than we are, they are now the benchmark for us to get back to. Their system is robust and they've recruited players expertly for it, with dynamic wingers, creative attacking midfielders, strong running full backs and ruthless defenders. Fair play to them. No doubt some bitter fans of ours will take offence to this but the truth hurts.

[Vacamion]

 

Fair play to West Ham.  They were better than and fought harder than us when we played them.

 

Fair play to Moyes, who was almost broken by the stick he received in prior roles.

So you’d rather one of the rich 6 get in by buying their team for 100’s of millions more than a team upsetting them on merit? I’m not particularly fond of West Ham but would love them to get it over the likes of Arsenal, Man utd, Spurs etc...

West Ham have moved up a level and we have moved backwards. They looked great.

And no tippy tappy sideways backwards bollocks.

West Ham are superb, aggressive, play with intensity, and have a nice structure to their attacking build up, getting it between the lines quickly and the opposition turned. They are generally an absolute bastard for anyone to play against. 

I thought Europe would harm them this year with their squad but anything but. Currently, it’d be lovely to see our own team look so well coached and effective, albeit they can go through spells of conceding goals, just not quite as bad as us.

West ham are the perfect example of the massive benefits of pragmatism.. They ain't afraid to do what some would consider"oldschool", long kicks out, more physical play, etc. We're soft as kittens. And Rodgers is too stubborn for his own good. We're a better team and if they finish higher than us, it'll be because of our own doing and fault. Moyes us a great example of a manager reinventing himself, he modernised but at rhe same time, he maintained his core ideas. Bravo to him tbh

 

Every single goal of theirs demonstrated their pragmatism and meanness or physical strength.

Yeah winning in Europe and keeping clean sheets every game, coming back and doing well in the league, rotating and winning cup games too. They are the benchmark for us to get back to, this was us a year ago.

GSB out! 

[sammy82]

West Ham remind me a bit of us the year we won the league, no fear and extremely well organised with real quality in certain areas

I have no issue with someone other than us having a pop at the top 4.....it actually will.lead to our own Improvement  in time. And takes a bit of spotlight off us as we do so.

[CrispinLA in Texas]

I read an interview of Moyes saying he wanted to bring back the what West Ham were like decades ago and to establish an identity for them and then sign players who he thinks can play the 'West Ham Way' and get to rid of players who can't.
