West Ham (H) - Match Thread

[Dahnsouff]

****ing ref. Head injury, blow the whistle

[ealingfox]

17 shots for them...

[VG Fox]

can't believe we're still up...needs changing or we won't be for long 2nd half

[cityfanlee23]

We've been completely dominated but we've defended much better.

I hope Ruud is planning on teaching these guys how to pass

It is like watching Summer league...

VK getting no help from El Kanousse on the left side. 

That's because El Khannouss has been running his socks off unlike most of his teammates. He's probably won more tackles than anyone else too.

 

Right on cue he wins the ball off Kudus with a brilliant tackle by our own corner flag.

 

Got to wonder what games our fans watch sometimes.

[WigstonWanderer]

Nice to be up, but we look like plucky underdogs, and they could have had a hatful.

[Daggers]

[egg_fried_rice]

Justin with a pass completion rate of about 3% in that first half

[VG Fox]

hamza on for JJ

Did Justin just take mads clean out?

We actually look alright on the break

RVN mentioned before the game they’d be looking to counter attack yes we’ve rode our luck but I think we look ok 

[Safestandingfox]

In a couple days in charge, so far it's a lot better. 

 

Genuinely unsure what some people are expecting? 

 

[Trent Steel]

LOL what do you guys expect ? 3 days in charge and 45 mins and we should be like Barcelona or something, jokes right ?

Al Khannouss is nowhere near up to speed with this game. Looks heavy on his feet. 

Absolute rubbish. He's been one of our best players, working his socks off and put in some good balls

And yet we might have scored two more....

[RumbleFox]

I am not slagging anyone here but just being objective, we need to change both fullbacks and RW at half time. We haven’t looked great but we’re low on confidence and with a new manager who’s only had a couple of days with the squad. I’d be more than happy with a battling 1-0 win against the odds. 

[Tazfox]

Kasey off for Ayew and Wilf off for Skipp for me 

[FoxOnWheels]

Scary when you think how shit West Ham are but how much better than us they seem

[Clever Fox]

A big improvement in that we've tried to play the game as opposed to sitting back.

 

Soumare has run more tonight than in all his games so far for us. Maybe he's begining to find his feet.

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Great Justin just got injured....get the ****er off

[LVFox]

Decent start, the Wilf/Soumare midfield just worries me. Bouba has actually looked decent at times but we really need an improvement in there. Wilf is done.

 

JJ better defensively but woeful on the ball.

 

El Khannouss has been really good

[KP Fox]

We got away with that in that first half. Hopefully we can settle down in the second half. 

[jim5000]

Imagine being a Premier League team yet having a midfield that can’t make the most basic of passes

That is WAY too high.

 

Even 7 would be too much for 45 mins with us being the home team.

 

Back 4 gets NO protection whatsoever.
