West Ham 2 - 0 Newcastle United - 14/09/15 - Post-match reaction from page 40


Recommended Posts

Look at Moses tonight. The drive, the aggression, the desire, the fucking effort man.

 

Fucking Sissoko wasn't fit to lace his boots despite having all the ability Moses has.

 

He is fucking Obertan man. Head in the clouds most of the time. Just letting the game pass him bye.

Krul - didn't really have anything to do apart from pick the ball out of his goal. Apart from kicking it into the stands constantly

Janmaat - probably our best player, but that doesn't say much going forward yes, defensively suspect again

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 no anita won that prize hands down; didn't win a challenge, passed sideways or back and was at fault in both goals

Anita - was okay, lost Payet for the first but he had to react to the ball he was dogshi#

Wijnaldum - didn't get into the game much, looked okay but nothing more

Thauvin - didn't get into the game at all thought he was our only threat in first half, worked hard aswell

Sissoko - ineffective lots of runs that came to nothing, tried hard i thought and covered well

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 s*** 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.

The reactions here are hilarious like,  so RTG, wasn't the best but there were moments when we looked good. We'll be fine, it's a work in progress Cisse and Colback were poor, really poor but the subs coming on looked good. Mitrovic is going to have to make a difference.

Wait, really? Can't remember any merit in our performance at all.

Seems like we were set-up to contain a home team with lots of possession and pressing us high up the pitch. Whereas they just sat and let us have the ball and hit us on the break. SMc outmanoeuvred by SB again. Most disappointed by failure to change things more quickly. And mainly one dimensional forward movement: everything through Janmaat. They must have f**king practiced some attacking movements, surely. I know Thauvin was wasteful with the ball, but you've got to use more than just one wing.

50 fucking million man! :lol:

 

That's about three or four players in this day and age. The squad was about eight or nine (with no hyperbole) of being able to scrap in midtable IMO.

 

I know, so much was ignored. But still, you'd think it might make a slight difference spending that amount, even if it was just 4.
