buzza Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Words to describe our side tonight: Scared, no ideas, no blood in veins, no fight, no game plan, slow, static, no runners, awkward...etc etc ad finitum! NO SPIRIT Anita lost every challenge, passed it sideways and back to Krul. Lost his man for first goal, got pushed off for the second. Absolute hummer! Krul's distribution is getting worse, 1st half specially. jaanmat defensively was afwul tonight, hadiara looks out of his depth. Colo just about OK, Mbemba was good. Colback was like his partner, perhaps half a percent better. Wijnaldum was absent the whole of the first half, like playing with ten men. Second half not much better tbh. Sissoko was good, thauvin worked hard and looked like our only threat. Cisse needs to find a first touch and hold up play otherwise he is completely useless in this formation. against two central defenders we need somebody who can hold and distribute to oncoming runners. Ayoze needs to start next game, as does De Jong in the no10. Put wijnaldum instead of Anita. Mcclaren has his work cut out for him if we just don't turn up to games like this today. Although I did think west ham's forwards played snappy quick inventive football up front, their defence and holding midfield should have been there for the taking. GUTTED!

Mike Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 We had 61% possession apparently. Jesus. I guarantee you that was all down to Colback being allowed to dawdle on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Where do we even start? Is it our shitty defense that makes McClaren choose to leave Colback on rather than Anita? Or for him not to start Gini further back by Anita? Or is it him starting shit like Cisse up front while our arguably two best players ride the pine? There's so much shit happening and no explanation. I don't think it's coincidence that our best play happened when both De Jong and Perez were on the pitch. I think those two with Anita and Gini make a great ball-playing midfield that needs to be explored. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 It's time to bring in Aarons, De Jong and Perez to start. Its time to rethink that midfield 2. Exactly my thinking. They looked fresh and streets ahead of the others in terms of movement and interplay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Personnel is a minor at this point, but it's so obvious that those guaranteed starting spots play like they're guaranteed spots (Colback, Cisse) while Aarons and Perez are trying to make things happen when they get a chance. Fuck sake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I really hoped for more tonight but it looks like it's going to be another long struggle of a season. Watford is now a massive game. I'll be massively disappointed if both Perez and De Jong aren't in the first 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm down, dude. Really irritating guy is Cisse. Pathetically weak and lacks any kind of urgency or desire. That Mitrovic red was an absolute killer. We're in big trouble. Cisse is an absolute asshole. Dude doesn't care man. Just going through the motions. If something happens to fall to him he might make an effort otherwise no biggie, just fart about all game.

Cronky Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 We'd better hope that Mitrovic stays on the pitch, or Toney comes good, because Cisse is a waste of space as a lead striker. He can't hold the ball up, he doesn't challenge for 50-50 balls, his passing is wayward and he shows none of the aggression that you need to impose yourself in that position. The guy doesn't seem to care, which must be frustrating for his team mates. We also lack physical, defensive presence in midfield. Anita tries but he's just not strong enough. If De Jong can get fit, I'd move Wijnaldum further back. Not ideal but the best solution at the moment. Why Perez isn't starting I don't know. He shows spirit and guile. The only encouraging thing about tonight was that we improved as the game went on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Krul - didn't really have anything to do apart from pick the ball out of his goal Janmaat - probably our best player, but that doesn't say much Colo - few loose passes, neither here nor there Mbemba - steady, but nothing more Haidara - good at times, awful at others - looks much more confident going forward then he does defending Colback - worst player today, so many misplaced passes Anita - was okay, lost Payet for the first but he had to react to the ball Wijnaldum - didn't get into the game much, looked okay but nothing more Thauvin - didn't get into the game at all Sissoko - ineffective Cisse - absolutely dreadful, failed to hold the ball up once but then again I suppose its not an easy task when its just thumped at you Absolutely awful performance all round, the basics were not right - our attacking movement was similar to last season, slow and predictable. At one point I wasn't even sure if there were two teams playing football or just walking around kicking the ball. Shocking game, West Ham were set up to capitalise on mistakes and hold on - and that is exactly what they did. We wont win games if we don't score, but we'll do even worse if we don't get the basics right. So much flair and attacking talent, but absolutely nothing going forward. I was tempted to say that maybe the shit of last season had just carried forward, but the players that came in over the summer have no excuse for that. We looked like a team dead on their knees after a long hard season, not a team 5 matches in. The amount of times, SMC and Simpson were urging our lads forward only to see one or two stroll forward in a fashion that my grandma would have overtaken them and she's been dead three years. I don't necessarily think SMC is to blame with his tactics, I think he wants us to play on the front foot - but the players are just not good enough at the moment. I think a lot of it is down to confidence, but a win against Watford on Saturday will only be further damaged after getting walloped by Man City and Chelsea. A few wins and I have no doubt we'll come good, but I don't think we can let another 3 games pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Sissoko is Obertan with muscle. The end. Frightening the amount of truth in this. Absolutely terrifying. I'll get sniped for it but I agree. He needs to be moved on because his guaranteed spot in the starting eleven is holding dudes like Perez and De Jong (and Aarons) out, who are guys I would rather have start.
