Odear Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 We came up against a better team and better manager than we’ve been facing in last few games. We weren’t prepared well enough. Didn’t give them enough respect and played too open. Poor tactics and team selection by Rafa (Manquillo) but also the players didn’t turn up today. It’s happened before, it’ll happen again. Not overreacting. We were beaten fair and square by better players today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Ayoze needed to do better with his chances, especially the two headers. Different game if he puts them away, but he’s in pretty poor form at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 MOTD didn’t even show a couple of the chances he had. Cross from Richie (I think) then he completely missed the ball and another when he fluffed the shot about ten yards wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense, the trying to buy a striker with a fiver and a bag of Quavers approach will do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Out of interest what was tactically amiss today? Not had chance to catch it yet, if I do at all. Continuous long balls from the back up front to Rondon who was pretty much beaten by the defenders every time. It didn’t work after 20 attempts but we kept hoofing it up expecting a different outcome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what won it, we played to our level really and just didn’t get the breaks, nothing wrong with tactics or selection or effort it just didn’t happen yesterday. Brutal finishing compared to our lot of misfits . THATS WHAT PAYING THE GOING RATE GETS YOU , QUALITY WHEN YOU NEED IT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikky Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Rondon - Loan Perez £1.5m Kenedy - Loan vs Hernandez £16m Arnautovic - £25m Anderson - £40m Imagine giving Rafa that WHU spend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't compare loan signings to permanent signings. My point is if you give Rafa the cash equivalent of WHUs outlay, rest assured he’d sign 3 better players than Rondon, Perez and Kenedy e.g Brahimi, Fabian, Paco Alcacer etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Continued to play a ridiculously high line after we were exposed time and time again, big mistake that ultimately cost us but I still think we'd have lost anyway, we weren't what I would call awful but we wouldn't have scored if we had played for another 5 hours, bad day at the office, and West Hams best players made the difference.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 If Rafa had been given the money to spend if the figures are to be believed we would have spent 25 mil on Kenedy and 16 mil on Rondon, so we would be exactly where we are now.

Benwell Lad Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 West Ham are obviously a very talented team but one who came here on the back of a bad run. We needed to hurt them early to maintain their self doubt and low confidence, but as they grew into the game and started playing with confidence they were on a different level to us.

Maybe Kenedy on a permanent contract is a different player to a one-year loan signing? Especially with a young family... It's all hypothetical, of course, but you can't simply say "exactly where we are now". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same two players only with 40 million difference in price, I doubt they would both turn into world beaters because we paid actual coin for them, I get what you're saying though, maybe one or both would feel a greater duty to the club on a permanent deal.

Surely though any footbller would be looking to get a big money move away or even to show his parent clubs manager that he is worth a shot. I would say he has far more to prove this year or he could be left in limbo - or maybe he actually isn't a top level player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if Kenedy was prepared to sign a permanent deal , but after his performances last year, he'd be justified in wondering what he has to do. I gt a bit of tat feeling with him,sometimes it looks like he's trying too hard to get noticed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
