***West Ham v City Official Match Thread***

Get doku and cherki on.

poor half . One attempt one goal from them and we have had one goal from 5 attempts ( think they're being generous) .

We gifted them that goal , Nunes not giving Khusanov a shout so he knocks it out for a corner when he could have left it , and then we gift them a goal. Poor marking, poor goal keeping. They had 6 players in the box and we only had hold of one of them

No one is running , West ham are matching us for distance covered and they are not closing us down at all. Very complacent

Is a decent team but why do we field 2 wingers against Real away and then have none against a worse Hammers team

7ft keeper

I can see why they let him go. I don't see him being better than Trafford , in fact i fancy Trafford as the number 1

He has been phenomenal this season, you would honestly choose Trafford based on his Burnley form last season

I think the Don was great up until the new year and kept us close to Arsenal on his own at times. But considering his form in the last couple of weeks, I wouldn't mind giving young Trafford a couple of games. Competition is a good thing.

Haalands all around game has been woeful recently

What;s your definition of Recently ? He's been on the slide for months, His best season was his first . His current barren spell is just poor and he's only getting a place because we have no one else. He's even misfiring against shite teams. 3 seasons ago you'd fancy him getting a hattrick

[Dub City]

It’s all very boring to watch. Slow and predictable. Shit all round giving away a corner no danger and shocking keeping and defending.

[Sparklehorse]

The same, again and again and again and again, I’m fucking sick of it. Haaland just to frightened to put a tackle in saving himself for the WC, it’s bad for him and worse for the team effort. He’s much more likely to get injured and frankly I don’t care if he does. Get Cherki on for him and Kovacic on for Bernie on a yellow. As least he has some bite. An embarrassing performance so far.

No he hasn't . He's a decent shot stopper and thats about it. His distribution is worse than Eddy's or Ortega's , he looks weak in the air and he is poor at goal kicks

Perhaps you have a different view from the back of the third tier . That corner should have been his all day long . He took his eye off the ball pushing one of their's forward If he stood still he could have caught it

[Crossie]

It’s on Pep I’m afraid. They are either bored of playing for him, don’t believe in t his tactics or he’s getting it wrong. Any way, it’s Pep. Love you mate but you exhausted the soul of the club after the treble. It was worth it, but change is needed to breathe new life into the whole club, top to bottom. No hard feelings, lots of love and gratitude. See you in the legends lounge.

[Nick]

Decent starting team and pep in the stands.

I thought they'd be running and attacking

[Indianablue]

Considering all our games are must wins we are far from at it . Alt Nouri caught late and the ref hasn't had a word at all

[Nick]

If we dont win today I'd be happy to play 9 kids and khus and cherki in every league game. It's up there with 6 months under pearce

[city72]

Missed a night out to watch this shit never again

[Indianablue]

30 passes to get out of the centre circle ending up with a pass back to Donna. West Ham have just started to press us tighter and we are rattled . Hitting long balls to no one

[Indianablue]

CROSS THE FUCKING BALL FOR FUCK SAKE. WE AINT GOINNA SCORE PISSES ABOUT ON THE TOUCH LINE .

FUCK ME CHERKI AND DOKU , I'D AGREE WITH THAT FOR ONCE , MARMOUSH HAS BEEN POOR AND ALT NOURI HASN'T BEEN THREATENED

HAALAND MISSES ANOTHER SITTER, SHOULD HAVE SCORED

[Indianablue]

Corner tactics have changed, we'standing further out not getting involved in wresting. Much better. How long have we been saying that

City are trying to pass West Ham to death here, but it's not working so far.
It's also pretty boring to watch.

From the BBC

And to be honest this could have been written in a lot of our games this season
