never thought i'd see the day

Where me and many many west ham fans of a certain generation would see a G/K worse than the infamous Allen McKnight....my god Roberto where do you begin what can you say our defence has no faith in this man catching any cross coming into the box he has the continental punching the ball away at any cost which 9 times out of 10 does not relieve the pressure.....he has to be dropped otherwise it will only get worse give me a rookie g/k any day because our defence as i said porous as it is are now just panicking every time a ball comes into the box..

Stubborn and slow

Submitted by hammergirl on

Ever since the Oxford UTD defeat we have been spiraling out of control and as much as the players must take a lot of responsibility for there performances on the pitch the manager has to take it as well for stubbornly persisting with playing one man upfront as the so called flair and creative players he got in are just not supporting or creating the chances for Haller.
If ever a man needs taking to task right now it is El Pel the team are slow they play to hit on the counter but of course teams think naa screw that we aint playing the way you want we will just sit back and bide our time for you too mess up which we do of course and we have no answer no other way to play and that is down to the manager pure and simple.
Palace/blunts/geordies that is one point from those three home games well that is relegation form.
Burnley away loss Spuds home loss Chelski away loss Wolves away loss Gooners home loss Southampton away Loss.
That is our next six matches El Pel you have had your "winnable" games now we start to play better sides apart from the 1st and sixth match but i do not see us troubling any of those the only fixture of course where the players will try is against the Spuds because they no they dare not put in a sub standard performance against that mob because they will not be forgiven.

Where do we go after this latest offering?

That's 1 point achieved from last 4 games (3 at home) where we should have picked up 10 points minimum! I thought we were going in the right direction before the Palace debacle.
I would play Fabianski injured rather than that piece of shit Roberto in goal. The defence can't have no confidence with him behind them. Zabaleta needs putting out to grass, too slow. Time is also catching up with Noble. Being fireworks season can someone stick a rocket up Anderson's arse? What's going on with Fornals? He looked a classy player in the summer Euro U21'S tournament.
So, who do we get in? How much money is available in January? If Rumours are to be believed, Man Utd have offered £80m for Rice? I think this money should be taken sooner rather than later.

Pellegrini Needs To Be Brutal

Submitted by nevillenixon on

Manuel Pellegrini will be scratching his well coiffured head as to how he should motivate his players, perhaps he should 'withdraw' a couple of his high profile signings and give others a chance? We believe he should also be more flexible in his team formation and play to Haller's strengths, go with two up front occasionally!

El Pel a busted flush?

4-1-4-1 El Pels preferred and apparently only formation he wants to play and we lose yet again...the team look lethargic no pace or belief or a clue as to whats going on around them...of course "we are brilliant in training" so all the players say but what about during a game? not one clue any of them.So its about time our wonderful manager who take the plaudits now needs to prove he can change and make us a better team.....against Palace we were Shit and today against Everton we were even worse and don't even try and argue Everton were better because they really were not playing against any kind of opposition.....not one player deserves any praise today and yet again the only one i feel sorry for is Haller as he plows a lone furrow upfront keep dropping deep or wide for any sign of the ball...meanwhile Anderson yet again brushed off the ball easily and making poor decisions Lanzini doing nothing Fornals tried but failed and oh yeah El Pels had a haircut.....this mess needs sorting because playing this formation just is not cutting it i am afraid and we begin our inevitable slide down the table....thanks West Ham for another non performance by all of our over hyped players.

All the ingredients to a typical west ham saturday

Submitted by mcbikeman on

Everton Manager under huge pressure four games lost on the bounce injury crisis and a team shot of all confidence....West Ham no new injuries after the international break so apart from Fab and the Beast a full strength squad to pick from......I think we all know where i'm going here!! we should win this ffs the blunts won here and after that pathetic performance against Palace last time out the team yet again have got to prove to the fans that we can compete at the top of the table....This season more than ever top 6 even in dreamland the 4th spot is open for a team that wants it so i hope more than expect a win today but hey this is West Ham you know

So we lost to Palace is anyone really surprised?....after all the hype of beating Manure when you look at that display it was pretty much the same as Yesterdays game with our team strolling around the pitch making the opposition look better than they were only this time instead of a win to paper over what was an average display we got beaten and El Pel has got to change his approach IMO.playing one striker upfront who gets isolated and so drops back looking for the ball sounds ohh so familiar to us....Lanzini clearly not fit yesterday my god noble spent most of the match trying to do his roll while the game just passed Lanzini by...Anderson again put in an average display and really needs his arse kicking...no good whining saying that they had everyone behind the ball you have to deal with it and playing slow predictable football with square balls and not getting behind them is not the way to do it...look at the movement for our goal it was quick snappy and they could not cope but soon as that went in we just reverted back to no pressure on the ball and so they settled and it was fairly predictable that what happened happened!......So El Pel pull your finger out and lets try and put another striker on the pitch to compliment Haller especially when playing this kind of opposition against better sides you can understand it but Palace and the like come on now.

El Pel never learns

Submitted by hammergirl on

So a competition El Pel loves and wanted to win sees us thumped 4-0 by a div 1 side and it did not flatter them they deserved it and this follows on from our thumping by Wimbledon in the F.A. Cup last season so it would appear our manager has learned very very little about the players and mentality that they have.Many have said it before and to most it makes sense and that is play your best side get the game won then sub your key players but apparently 3 points in the prem are of more importance than silverware,so onto saturday now and the team have just got to win otherwise what is the point in resting our so called big players.
