thomas Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Didn't watch game but sounds like we played well but helped by a dreadful West ham. That fair? Dreadful is being nice. To put it into perspective - we ended up with 42% possession. Away from home. That said we did look livelier than I remember last season. But still; woof.

The Bonk Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Didn't watch game but sounds like we played well but helped by a dreadful West ham. That fair? We were definitely deserving of the win, two shaky moments first half, but had the better run of the play for the most part and West Ham were never threatening the last 30min.

Dr Jinx Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 We were alright. West Ham were absolutely s****, at least going forward and I'd be terrified if I supported them. They could well be on 0 points by November. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 We could have had a couple more. Think Wilson could have scored one of his other first-half chances and Shelvey should have hit the target when he was through too. Good start, should be looking at 7-9 points after 3 games.

Klaus Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Didn't watch game but sounds like we played well but helped by a dreadful West ham. That fair? Yup they managed to hit the bar twice which I completely forgot about they were awful going forward and we took our chances when they came. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54038554 Wilson prodded in Andy Carroll's flick-on to open the scoring Wilson's goal was a result of his opportunism after Carroll had got across the near post to flick on Javier Manquillo's cross All the unshaven, long haired guys look the same. They even have a photo of the goal and Carroll is in the background. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prefabtoon Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 west ham forum quote. Suddenly Carroll can now manage full games it could only happen to us Looked twice as fit as he did with us...funny that. Glad he found it so funny tonight after rinsing us for millions. Priceless.

Stottie Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 A great result and performance. Dunno how much was due to the fecklessness of our opponents, but you can only beat what's in front of you. Callum Wilson was lively. When I looked around for some verdicts when we signed him, I found a Statsbomb article comparing him to Jermain Defoe by the Spurs fan on there. Wilson is four inches taller but apparently no heavier, and yesterday certainly played like a pacy moocher who shoots a lot and makes positive runs. In the right setup, Defoe was an effective goalscorer even in his 30s after racking up injuries. Only 42% possession in the end, but a world apart from our games last season. Some good passages of play from us and an easily deserved win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 42% is still nearly twice what we often had last year tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 To point out a negative today, thought Joelinton looked poor when he came on. His positioning is terrible not just when we have the ball but when we don’t. There was a bit where we could have won the balk which might have led to a counter attack but he didn’t block the passing lane either through lack of effort or awareness. I’m not sure which. Nothing new I know, but i was hoping we might see something from him in a different position. oddly i thought he looked considerably more comfortable on the ball than last season, his touch looked better and he looked like he might actually be able to do something with the ball for a change more brazilian almost Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Moyes just doesnt know what to do with someone who likes to play football.

RS Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Happy with the debutants. “You can only beat what’s in front of you” analogy etc but not sure whu are a premiership yardstick with Moyes at the helm for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the great misfortune of listening to Don Hutchison and his mate Joe Somebody, and they were praising Moyes for picking the likes of Noble, Fornals and Bowen ahead of those listed above, because they're inconsistent and can't be relied on.

Howe would be a disaster. They need the exact opposite of Moyes, some who is a presence, can lead and motivate the players. Howe doesn’t have enough of that, and really needs time.

Hope the go for pardew I was just thinking about something similar. People seem to believe Moyes has a presence, when in reality his only success was when he was a nobody at Everton.

Cronky Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Howe seems too nice for that situation. Something went wrong at Bournemouth last season. It seemed like a lot of players' minds weren't quite on the job, and Howe wasn't able to get their focus back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
