West Ham (A) Mon 23/08/21 @ 8pm Match Thread - Sky Sports

I hate games like this, we don't have a style of play. I don't even know what our style of play is. We aren't a counter attack team, we can't create anything and can barely keep the ball as a possession based team, we don't press, we dont create much down the wing and crossing is poor.

 

Very annoying.

[Bats8711]

We were never getting anything out of this game the way things were going - may as well throw a wrench into things.

Michael Oliver you dirty slut couldn’t wait to get his red card out for the home fans 

Oliver is a **** as well. He’s lauded as the best ref in the league but he’s often weak and an homer.

I would like to see Daka and soumare start the second half ,nothing to lose 

It's about time we saw what Daka can do from a start. 'nacho should have one too.

Mrs wants to watch the love island final now and apparently can’t go upstairs so I’m ****ed. Ah we’ll best of luck lads I’ll be thumbing through the stanner stair lift catalogue…

[Guest foxestalkisfullofidiots]

12 months ago it was debatable who was better out of Maddison and Grealish......not even a debate now is it

I’m not convinced it was. If any challenge endangered fornals it was the one on Perez! I’m convinced perez didn’t even make a challenge and was not in control of his movement due to the push before hand. No way is it a red in that situation. 

Perez has lost control of the ball and enters a 50/50 challenge with Fornals for the ball. He is absolutely challenging for the ball.

[Pliskin]

We can argue about the red card, but let’s face it, we deserve to be behind, we’ve been crap.

It's tiring me out.

Fair point.

 

The obsession with possession based football tires everyone out, boring, laborious and pointless.

 

We've been out-Leicestered (In our former style) 3 times in a row by West Ham now, we've played in to their hands and allowed them to do so every time.

[Iran]

Sadly, that challenge was a red from Perez (irregardless of intent). 

 

I am upset and disappointed about the red, but come on guys, we still have 45 mins of football to play to get a result with 10 men.

 

We can do this!

We have been absolutely shocking but even before the red our shape was wrong.

 

Might be a bit weird but I'd bring on KDB for Maddison and put Barnes up top with Vardy.

If only mate 

[Guest ttfn]

I love Youri but he’s been absolutely wretched.

 

I’d get him and Maddison off and put Soumare and Dewsbury-Hall on.

 

Push Barnes up front with Vardy.

Albrighton it is then for the next 3 games 

try Nacho out there, its not like Perez plays as a wide man he plays as a wider number 10, Nacho could do that role against Norwich as a test

[drumbeat]

I don't think we've been dreadful. We're trying to be patient and cagey, waiting for the space that isn't showing, but it's not worked for the most part. A couple of chances but no more. 

 

A fair red IMHO BTW. 

 

Soumare for Maddison half time methinks.

 

[SystonFox]

Ruined me Monday lcfc cheers

[Foxin_Mad]

Not a chance in hell we get anything here. West Ham are just better than us in every way today. 

[Beliall]

****ing neville. "oh he has a little look up" **** off did he. yes its a red but dont make it more than it is.

I don't think you're giving West Ham enough credit, they're pressing really well. 

They’re so shit on the ball and packing their half ready to come flying out.

 

Again, shit individuals, amazing unit. Can see them doing well in Europe on that basis. They’re basically Slavia.

He should of sent him off before Var got involved. It was red all day long

Yes but I’d argue there wasn’t a tackle or a challenge it was just a natural movement to stop falling

But it wasn't was it? 

[Ric Flair]

Pretty staggering that the main reason we signed Soumare was for ges like this, an opposition that absolutely annihilated us home and away last season in midfield and yet we don't start him. Deserve everything we get with Perez playing. 

[Onions]

Laughable tactics once again, Soyuncu and Amarty could pass to

each other all week, West Ham didn’t have any interest closing it down at 0-0 yet alone 0-1 

 

Vardy dreadful for the goal, wish Maddison left for Arsenal, Perez poor but he’s been fouled, Barnes looks lost, Youri doesn’t give a toss

 

Buzzing for the 2nd half 😂

[oxtonfox]

Nasty feeling for a 5-0 and 2 sendings off, Perez and Soy getting frustrasted. Daka on when it's all too late.

They’re a good team. Pains me to say it because everything about them should just scream absolute shit show, from owners to ground to manager to scatter gun signings - yet they’ve clicked really well. Moyes has found another recipe that just works for him and them.
