  1. Paqueta must wonder why he went there, he spends large portions of games with the ball either flying over his head or he's chasing it forlornly. He needs to be in a progressive possession-based side. Moyes' West Ham is completely the wrong setup.
  2. I don't know his goal tally but I bet he's missed 4 or 5 chances for every goal scored. Any half decent central striker with decent pace and movement could fill his boots up top for them
  3. They're a good side, 40pts at Christmas is excellent but we shouldn't fear anyone, we've given everyone we've played a game. EH makes all the difference.
  4. The penny will drop in time, that it's not all about money, in fact very little of it is. We're only just catching up on spending after 15 years of spending nowt ffs. I hate this type of argument, totally tries to negate the stunning work done on the training ground by EH. Like we're the only club spending, every club spends money ffs. West Ham have spent 150m to be bottom 4. Great argument for spending that is. My favorite comment in that thread was "They think they're Man City". Fuck me man...first off, we couldn't be further from them in the way we're trying to do things, last club i'd want to be compared with. Second, if we're taking that stupid ill-informed comment at face value, what exactly were Man City before Abu Dhabi came along and spent a billion quid on financing them?
  5. Think Bowen needs a move, stagnating under Moyes
  6. Brilliant hit from Martinelli but a good keeper should never concede that
  7. The signing of Nunez (basically their whole summer budget) would have been fantastic as a 20m developmental prospect, he has some amazing attributes, movement, speed and power. Unfortunately, he can't hit a barn door, needs 6 chances to score. Some players never really fix this, the level of composure required does sometimes come with experience. Will be interesting to see him develop, time is on his side.
  8. They've realized they need to spend big yet again, to keep up with us and our ability to field elites like Chris Wood.
  9. Howay West Ham, if it stays like this, makes our win even better
  10. Very arrogant fanbase generally (tbf that's quite typical of online fans but also know a couple irl and they're not that different tbh). Watching the Tyneside Life matchday video from April, a few twats from down there in that. They've had great relative success in the past 6-7 years but did basically fuck all for a century before that and act like they've always been a top 5 side. Poxy city an all. I was happy for them and their title success but their entitled happy clapper fans can fuck off.
  11. That is the way the rule is implemented I suppose and maybe it's best there's no room for interpretation as it'd be chaotic trying to determine
  12. Thought that touch that made Nketiah offside, looked accidental by Saka, might be wrong
  13. I think when you look at our team, it's clear we're one of the best-coached and most dynamic teams in the country. Six straight wins, best defensive record in the league, putting 3s, 4s and 5s past decent teams. If we lack anything, it's quality squad depth and a bit of experience of being in the position we're in. Psychologically right now, we're just playing relaxed and brilliantly coached with a quality gameplan each week. The struggle might come with injuries or that bit of experience of being in a race for top 4. I think we may address this in January but we'll see, I just trust everything they're doing right now and that's a great feeling.
  14. Moyes looking like he just rolled out of his scratcher, hair all tousled, put a comb through it man
  15. Yeah it's like Twilight Zone because when you watch him, it just doesn't add up to his record being decent. He's all over the place but he does carry major threat in stretching the field with those chaotic runs he makes. I think when they bought him, they must have expected him to be one of the elite CFs in world football and for 70m+ he really should be. He'll have great moments in games and score surprising goals from time to time but looks like he needs a ton of coaching to succeed in their system long-term
  16. Almost like he's playing the wrong sport
  17. Nunez is weird af. Fast, good physical talent, excellent movement, can't finish for toffee
  18. Bailey cost 30m, you have to be kidding
  19. Emery has his work cut out with these forwards like
