West Ham were horrific, they've spent a pretty penny under Moyes also. That Paqueta looked wank. He was a menace, won the ball back off Joelinton and longstaff a couple of times.

In a better team he'd look like a different player. West Ham didn't know what to do when they went forward aside from win a set piece. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought first half we were quite poor by our high standards, second half it was men against boys. I know it is a well used statement "Men against boys" but, I have played in a mans team against a team of boys and it was bloody hard work. We got stuffed!

Gallowgate Toon Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Paqueta lost the ball a lot, some really poor passes, and was ragdolled a couple of times, but he was a lot more persistent than I thought he'd be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that they would be anywhere near that end of the pitch, but I think both have the composure and technical ability to pull it off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Although the way that West Ham got given their stadium is an absolute disgrace, I don't think anyone's benefitted from it like. Probably the worst stadium in the league, awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the worst stadium in the league, awful. Never been so probably not fit to comment but it just looks horrific. Looks like a temporary stadium from what I’ve seen on photos and videos. I have been to Upton Park 4 times (unbeaten there too!) and it was class. Proper working class, rough area round the ground and their atmosphere was mostly decent from what I remember. Felt like a proper football ground. Spurs’ ground looks nice don’t get me wrong, but I don’t want us to ever leave SJP. Can’t believe there’s an appetite for it other than a capacity increase.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Paqueta was decent, but faded badly second half. Bowen and Rice were far better. Love how direct Bowen is on the ball, with the greatest of respect to Big Dan Burn, the guy was getting roasted all game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I mean is that it's such an awful stadium that even though they got it for free, I would bet that most West Ham fans would rather they hadn't been given it and because of that I don't think it helps the team. I've never been but just looking at it on TV, on people's mobile footage, and hearing from West Ham fans, it looks absolutely awful like.

Been once and this was my overriding memory of the stadium along with it being in the middle of nowhere. No rush for ourselves but ultimately we will have to succumb to a new stadium to be able to host big events including football finals. As an older fan I’ve no issue with it as long as the location is by and large remains the same or the current arena site at very most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Have looked forward to us getting a lead like that with the other team trying to get back in to see what we'd look like. With, for example, freshly brought on Miggy, Maxi and Murphy running at them. Turns out, unsurprisingly, we'd be decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham were horrific, they've spent a pretty penny under Moyes also. That Paqueta looked wank. I though the score papered over some cracks, yeah we had some moments where we were magnificent but there was lots of sloppy play too and it was actually a pretty even match until the 4th goal and their heads dropped. Some of our play reminds me of England a bit, we're great when we're playing high intensity but when we try to slow it down and control a match and patiently build up we seem to lose focus, not quite as bad as England in that but it always makes me nervous when we start slowing down and passing it aimlessly between the back four when we're a goal or two up. Great result but on the balance of play it could easily have been a draw or loss. Don't get me wrong, I love this team and think we've got a great chance of finishing top 4 now, but I don't think it was an unreal performance and there are things we will need to improve on to make sure we get that top 4 place.

PRL Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Amazing result and great 90 mins, loads of fun, but I'd be absolutely heartbroken if I was a West Ham fan and been moved from Upton park to that. Fucking horrendous from getting off the tube to getting home. Does not feel like a football ground at all, in the ass end of nowhere, lovely half an hour of kettling on the way back and just a shit end to an amazing evening. To have to do that every game as a West Ham fan, even when doing well, would be utter shit. I blame them a little less for evacuating on 80 mins, although shitloads were still stuck in the kettle by the time we got there after applauding the team off for 10 mins post-match. Wembley is 50% bigger with worse transport links and not even as bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame the scrappy play on West Ham, Moyes has them setup that way in hopes Rice or Bowen can have a moment or two of brilliance to convert on a chance they’ll inevitably create. They were weakest when they played it on the deck and the only threatening play was from hoof or deadball situations. Game was over when we got the 3rd, but credit to WH for not quitting until it was done and dusted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but they did also cause us lots of problems running with the ball at our defence, particularly Bowen and Antonio. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
