West Ham United 3-1 Newcastle United (02/10/25)

[r0cafella]

And a reminder West Ham are absolutely shit. If we can't beat them then what the fuck are we doing?

[SUPERTOON]

The money spent on Elanga and Ramsey looks worse every week.

[RodneyCisse]

Pre game I thought, at least soucek isn’t starting…

Away form has been bad since April last season. Our form overall has tbh. 

It’s been bad for an unacceptably long amount of time. When have we consistently played well away from home? Feels like we haven’t since 2022-23 tbh.

[PENKAAA]

Perfect for West Ham. Bit of luck for their second and can rest easy knowing our fullbacks are so ineffective they can set up narrow and compact. But we were so shit everywhere today, deserved nothing.

Common theme here, all away.

Yeah, we are miles off the top of the table. Concerning.

Steve Bruce would have been slaughtered for this. 

Nobody is stopping you doing the same to Howe?

Embarrassing afternoon, half time subs baffling 

Made us worse

[JoeyBartoon]

Put Tonali right back 😂😂 proper scatter gun game management approach again from Howe. We’re a mid table team and that isn’t good enough with what we have

As me Dad says "diabolical".

 

Fathas just rang me and said the same to me.

Hope Howe at least comes out with the truth post match.

Thought he looked a bit flat pre match. Could be clinically depressed post match. 

[Groundhog63]

Match thread, as per, more tragic than the game itself. 

 

It was shit lads but I wouldn't like to be in the trenches with you lot. Fannies 😂😂

What's your point? 

His point is that Howe won’t be

 

... yeah? Obviously. Howe's one of the best we've ever had, Bruce is utter slime. Again, what's the point?

Got to ask some questions after that performance? First of all is how bad we are in possession. We are one of the worst in the league in that department.

 

Yep, we give the ball away far too easily and too often.

And shooting, we just simply don't test opposition keepers enough.

He isn’t the only one

[On the Grid]

Well that was rubbish but let's not over react...oh wait

[Ben]

What a shite performance by everyone 

[Virtua Stiva]

Criminal performance. Hardly anybody wanted the ball and nobody wanted to fight for it back. A better side would have genuinely scored 5 or 6 past that.

Not just the afternoon, our whole season.

We have picked games where we want to try and others where we don’t.

An absolutely fucking disgusting attitude to have.

 

These are the home games and the others are the away games.

[Numbers]

Why was Woltemade taken off, one of the only players who can make stuff happen. Weird.

[Vaj]

Half watched it and that was pathetic from what I could see. Really concerning because that’s one of the easiest away games so something needs to improve drastically otherwise we will be lucky if we get top half. 
 

Assuming Woltemade picked up a knock? If so, that’s very concerning especially with Wissa being out. 
 

Full backs are a huge concern, Burn absolutely shite and Krafth should not be playing at this level, but it will be some time before Tino and Hall are properly playing. 

[The Prophet]

Absolutely awful performance, very much reminiscent of the beginning of last season.

 

We reek of a team in transition, particularly away from home. We've abandoned our trademark high intensity press, but it isn't really evident what we're trying to do yet.

 

Every faith in Howe we'll get there, but we might have to get used to inconsistency in the short term.
