LCFC - West Ham Post Match Thread 2-2

[TeamRocket]

Player player better let down by manager for making a dumb change

[murphy]

So how many is that from corners and set pieces now?  Does anybody know?

[Jattdogg]

Booooo

[Matt_Lcfc]

Lacklustre first half but a number of positives to take from the second. However, yet again, our failure to do the basics has cost us again. It’s beyond jarring at this point.

 

On the positive side, I thought that Ricardo, Tielemans, KDH and Maddison all had decent games.

[KingsX]

A good friend’s girl is a Hammers fan from Bexley.  We owe them dinner.  They were so close to getting invited for Tuesday night 

 

[Eskay]

Poor subs. Didn't need either. Lookman with his usual stupid decision making and Vesty......well the less said about his presence the better.

[Aus Fox]

Would have taken a point this morning, feels like a defeat the way it ended.

Bringing on Vestergaard was always going to be controversial, not sure what he offers at all.

Having said that, I really can’t see why VAR hasn’t ruled that goal out?

[Tuna]

I'm furious.

We had that game won.

 

Why make that sub?

[kristianity77]

First half, horrific.  Second half miles better.

 

But sorry, please please fook off Rodgers!

 

Why invite pressure on to our dodgy defence when we looked more assured going forward as West Ham got more desperate for the leveller.

 

Hes a complete muppet and that one, again, as seen so many times, is on him.  His decision making is criminal for a football manager.

 

Get ..rid 

[Oxfordfox83]

Hate him. Late subs cost us again. Unnecessary CB on with 7 minutes to go: no brain, no spine, no sense of his own weakness.

 

Get out Brendan

I was 100% sure that would be overturned for handball? I don’t understand VAR 

[Finnegan]

I'd love to see a tally of Rodgers tactical changes that lost points vs ones that gained them. 

[GeorgeTheFox]

Most damning thing I can say is that I'm not at all surprised. Genuinely at no point did I even hope that we'd hold on no matter how improved the football we were playing seemed. It's a mentality problem now. Vestegaard being a plank aside it's a genuine mental block that the players have and they are fragile. Think owners may consider that the fastest remedy is usually a new manager 

[Guest Lcfc82]

Deserved to win really, played really well 2nd half. I actually enjoyed watching us for a change.

No idea why Rodgers is making that sub at the end absolutely no need for it. A case of him over thinking things again.

[reynard]

Sorry but 2-1 up with seconds to go you need to have the ball at the other end of the pitch not bring on a lumbering useless centre back. We can't defend at all so why do we try.That's 4 points chucked away in the last few seconds of two matches all because we can't defend.

 

Top sides don't try and defend their own penalty area like this.

Another bottlejob, add it to the list! 

[Dave Fishwick]

Rodgers has to go but also we need to have some on the pitch stepping up and managing these games to the end. This is getting brutal and they shouldn't need their hands held to hold a win through the final minutes.

[Guest Col city fan]

This team is just too nice

We have no professional savvy

Yet again, we were going forward trying to stupidly get a third goal when an experienced side would have slowed the whole game down, shut up shop and seen the game out

The sub was barmy too

God knows what Brendan must say to them in these situations too. 
🤷‍♂️

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Just a simple question for those who still believe unquestioningly in Rodgers. Would you have made that substitution? 

[jayfox26]

No idea what the handball rule is these days but I'm not sure a player should not be able to directly score a goal with their arm. Aside from that we were robbed and were by far the better team but yet again Rodgers' decision making has lost us points. The players cannot be blamed for today

[RowlattsFox]

The reason Kasper as never got a move away from us. 

[Jattdogg]

Pleasantly surprised to be 2-1  up in fairness but thats just poor poor management IMO. Vestey of all players? 

[Foxxed]

Point closer to safety. Thomas, KDH and Barnes were terrific—they worked their socks off in the second. I have no idea if Vestergaard was at fault for the goal but that was horrific timing.

[ren]

Shouldn't have stood but it's just so predictable. In Brendans and this sides DNA.
