[Doobedoo]

He’s a very good pundit and his knowledge of the game is superb.

The blokes a troll.

 

[CliffyG]

Thanks for the £100 lads

I only stuck 2 quid on it.

Better than nothing !

 

[CliffyG]

Better than nothing !

Yep can't complain.

 

[omnomnom]

he forgot to mention they are tired

Oh yea forgot about that one. West Ham didnt look tired...sorry exhausted, they looked fine in the second half.

 

[adam cool dude]

This is the first time i really am annoyed at ten Hag. Ok DeGea threw one in the net but we've been awful again in the second half of a game. No energy, no creativity and no impact from substitutions. Another timid performance redolent of Ole ball

He really needs to sort this mess out. It cannot be all on the players being tired. Can Martinez and Varane being out effect everything so much? The team just looks really disjointed and we don't seem to be able to score a goal at all. Casemiro has been totally absent the past month as well as many other players.

 

[CliffyG]

Are we now unanimous that Weghorst is absolute pony?

 

[nemtizz]

You good @adam cool dude

 

[Robbo]

Couldn't watch, but sounds like it was a horror show.

The top 4 bottle is on! Ah well.

 

[Sui]

I’m not really sure what Utd were expecting when they decided to get him

 

[Robbo]

The thing is, we had a spell a few months ago of playing well, winning a lot of games and the squad looked confident.

What exactly has changed since then? We looked genuinely decent for the first time in ages.

Back to the usual garbage now.

I get people saying look at what has been spent and you can't blame the Glazers, but that is just spectacularly naive and shows a complete lack of understanding of how football works.

At least two sets of fans are worrying about it

 

[C Kent]

Just watched the sky highlights and going by that it seems that west ham did a real smash and grab job as it was all man u? Oh and raise a glass to howard webb's influence again in not awarding a penalty to west ham

 

[Shamikebab]

Not like we had any options is it? We didn't have a single fit striker and our leech owners wouldn't give the manager a single penny to replace Ronaldo.

Joke post surely?

No money for a new transfer, sale pending, player ETH had worked with before, played in the prem before. Probably a few of the reasons.

But Carragher does have a point. The signing of Antony when you didnt have a proper striker to then sign Weghurst is just laughable.

I'll give you a reason not to sign him tho...just one is all I need.

He's rubbish.

Oh he played in the Prem alright...he was garbage then as well.

 

[Robbo]

Weghorst has been explained above. The Glazers wouldn't sanction a signing due to the sale situation and we urgently needed cover for Martial. It's not like there are loads of strikers available and our scouting network appears to be non-existent.

Antony doesn't look a great buy at present but he's not the reason the team are suddenly rubbish, we were playing well not all that long ago.

I watched it live and West Ham had loads of chances and probably the better ones too
