Great save from Fabianski. Should be at least 3-0 up here. West Ham can't be this bad in the second half, surely...

They’re so bad, yet still we can’t score even when it’s handed to us on a plate.

Bruno could actually have a hat trick of assists. Unbelievable it's still 0-0

 

[Calpol]

We should be at least 2 up against West Ham, probably 4 but as per usual we cannot finish. We aren't talking half chances either. The fact that this game isn't out of sight tells you all you need to know about our team. Some tidy play but no cutting edge. Marcus poor again, really Amad should be coming on at half time but there's no way that happens. Nacho is lively but his finishing should be much better by now and Hojlund is clueless as to where to make a run for a cross. Stick with process...eh?

Is the finishing ETH's fault or are the players just not that good? Combination of both?

Not directly, but confident players usually finish better. Either way, all these chances are a result of West Ham's woeful defending, rather than us playing particularly well. They were truly awful in that first half!

Edit: have we only got 1.4xG? Feels like it should be 5.4!

How could the finishing be ETH's fault

Not having the right coaches in place? Not organising the coaching properly? Not practising properly? Probably loads of things?

ETH isn't in charge of hiring coaches. The rest is a bit of a leap.

So the coach/manager doesn't "develop" the players? I'm confused.

Actually, I'm glad that for once we agree that the players are crap

No, Pep is not out there teaching Haaland how to put the ball in the net lol

I see.

Could someone tell me what the new manager will do then, to get us scoring/finishing?

 

[Robbo]

Bet that hurt Onana, Antonio glancing knee to the forehead at full speed, oof

 

[eurokage]

Palmer is a cheat code.

*shrug* good question. In the end if the system is creating chances and the players aren't taking them then the manager has done what he can. ETH isn't flawless but if we lose today it's 100% on the players.

******* near post man

Analyze why the chances are being missed and have the coaching team work on situations in training where the same sort of conditions arise so it becomes more instinctual to finish them.

Palmer is some boy mind
