COYI

we need a win this after, just to let you know, if we go behind by 2 goals I am switching to watch sound of music.

do not understand

Adrian, Nordtveit, Reid, Ogbonna, Arbeloa, Antonio, Noble, Payet, Kouyate, Lanzini, Zaza. Zaza is still playing, he must be doing something in training that we cannot see???

why

do we have Nordtveit playing and Byram on the bench

Honestly thought Oxford

Honestly thought Oxford wouldve been handed a start today

That Romeu tackle on Lanzini

That Romeu tackle on Lanzini was disgraceful... wasnt he sent off last time we played them?

Completely skinned him.

Completely skinned him.
Redmond should've had a yellow as well.

Weak goal to concede...

Weak goal to concede... Austin flubbed it and Adrian shouldve done better

Austin ..

Lol .. There was one we should have took a chance on and snapped up for next to nowt from QPR .. He is a proven Goal Scorer who knows where the Net is !

We currently seem to have a Team with very little belief in themselves sadly ? .. Not exactly sure why though .. "imo" .. I would probably put young Fletcher on instead of ZaZa and get Feghouli on also !

Not sure Zaza's done much

Not sure Zaza's done much wrong for me Steve, he's getting his head down and grafting a bit - He just needs a break.
The belief part I totally agree with...Still in this though but need to be a bit braver.

irons1965 ..

Yes perhaps I was a bit harsh on ZaZa but I just think Fletcher will be more Revved up and add a bit more Pace !

What

a bunch of wankers!!!!

Out of our Depth.

It saddens me but this team (1 or 2 aside) is way out of its depth at this level. The boards under investment and general tight fistedness in the transfer market has left us exposed in every dept. The stadium seems to be all bells and whistles but no heart or substance. I feel let down by the board with the stadium teething issues and the woeful squad that Bilic has to work with. Payet and Antonio will not stick around long and come January a sell off of luxury quality players could take place to fund a transfer spend on gritty pull you out the mire type players.

Lanzini off, Feghouli on..

Lanzini off, Feghouli on...Injured??

Bilic is not going to be

Bilic is not going to be around much longer if he can't get this team playing better football

I think

he has lost the plot, why is Zaza still on the pitch

Hmm ..

Should have been 2.0 .. Amazing what a Shambles come on Lads FFS !

Kouyate lost that ball on the

Kouyate lost that ball on the edge of the box....

2-0 now... what is happening?

2-0 now... what is happening? I thought we started the game ok but been on a slow self destruct since then

2.0 ..

It is now .. The Defence .. Lol .. And Oxford is still on the Bench !

Midfield still continually

Midfield still continually giving it away. Southampton are tackling with real power and our midfielders do not want to know. Zaza and the defence are not to blame.

Problem is Bilic continues to

Problem is Bilic continues to accommodate noble

Time for Bilic to go -

Time for Bilic to go - realistic as team not performing

Sorry guys but payet is pants

Randolph ..

Not putting all the blame on Adrian but I think it's time now to give Randolph a run !

We have international players

In almost every position,but ive never seen a westham team so disjointed.. slav will be gone if this continues.

Zaza offers nothing to the

Zaza offers nothing to the team yes the manager leaves him on the pitch for the whole match ? Why ?

is it me

or is the ref so against us, yellow card for us, nothing for them

I dont think so - he has

I dont think so - he has given cards out to their players too, we have just been poor today and for the last few games we played

Speechless, no excuses

Speechless, no excuses totally outplayed.
Something must change now, I don't know what but something has got to give.

iron1965 ..

Same here Buddy just so Embarrassing .. We are getting Worse by the Game .. It's like a Horror Story in the making here .. Sorry to say !

3-0... desperate times.

Shocking!!

Nil points & 11 goals against from games against the mighty watford,westbrom & soton....ive always backed slav but is it time for a change already??

Southampton lost their

Southampton lost their manager at the start of the season and one of their best players.

Fortress olympic stadium!!

Dont make me laugh...

Hammers65 ..

Yeah .. This New Stadium doesn't help the cause obviously not the main excuse .. But I think all Visiting Teams are Revved up about playing at the Olympic Stadium except our Team ? .. I personally would much rather have stayed at Upton Park like no doubt many many others on here .. The atmosphere there was always worth quite a few Points every Season !

Should we also be revved up

Shouldnt we also be revved up playing at the new stadium?

Poor performance yet again.I

Poor performance yet again.I think Bilic has lost the plot.This is the first time in history that West Ham have lost five of their first six top-flight games. Bilic has plenty of work to do.He will be gone before long if this continues

How can

you be so fickle as to call for Slaven's head so soon???
It's the players that should be taking a long hard look at themselves.
Especially the ones who've just signed multi-million pound contracts that ties them to us for as long as they want, then fuck off.

Are you having a laugh! The

Are you having a laugh! The writing was on the wall in the Euro games,we were crap then,and we are just as bad now.Bilic has assembled this team,the performances are falling apart,he chose the tactics,the style and the players.Its not being fickle it's seeing the reality of what lies ahead ,we are the Aston Villa of 2015/2016 the way it's going.To stop the rot you need fresh approach,I have seen enough to tell me this is going to be a long hard season otherwise

At this moment anybody who

At this moment anybody who plays us just requires organisation and to do the basics correctly
to get the points.

Irons organisitaion and

Irons organisitaion and basics? That's what we need to put this right! And maybe bilic to stop the brainless decisions he makes. As for Fred I can't agree that kouyate is just a runner...... I haven't seen him run back at all! He is a footballer but never in a million years a midfielder. Unless of course you think a midfielder is required to run around like a headless chicken! Defender yes, midfielder not in a million years!

So true. Thing is he is a

So true. Thing is he is a defender. He only played cdm on odd occasions until he joined us. He plays center back for his country and his best performances in a west ham shirt have come at center back. Like the united game under BFS and Tottenham at UP last season. He can barely control a football.
