I can see why the Barcelona fans got fed up with Song. He isn't worth the money it will cost to keep him.

He's terrible, loads of players turn up and put in a bunch of effort for a bunch of games. So you've got some early season form, and the team itself was in form which always helps anyone play a bit better or worse players blend in.

Thing is most of what he does well is more fluke than talent, as such a bit of luck and things can fall right for you a few times and make you look better than you are. Over the course of a season his luck evens out and the good games are being significantly outweighed by terrible games now.

He's lazy, he's clumsy, he's reckless and he's basically braindead. But, isn't worth the money to keep him doesn't really matter at West Ham unfortunately, otherwise Carroll would never have been signed permanently.
 
United: De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Evans, Rojo, Blind, Herrera, Young, Di Maria, Rooney, Falcao. Subs: Lindegaard, McNair, Carrick, Fellaini, Mata, Januzaj, Wilson.

Let's hope the team has a better performance today, another chance for Falcao in particular to deliver.

Carroll is a much better player then given credit for. Its just BFS insists on lumping it to him. His fitness record has been a shame.

We never ahd much luck atr the start, we played really well and quickly, but now we are too square and pace.

3 at the back :( can't wait to watch us play woeful football for another 90 minutes.
 
Would be very surprised now if Palace didn't win, taking them to 30 points. 17 points in 20 games for Palace before Pardew took over, including a probably win today it's 13 points in 7 games since he took over in the league. 6 wins in 10 games in league and cup and the only losses have been against Everton, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Conversely Newcastle had 27 points from 20 games under Pardew and have only 5 from 6 games since he left. Though in fairness that run includes games against Chelsea, City and Southampton, the only win was against Hull though who are genuinely awful.
 
WE have dropped points in games we played really well in, Spurs, Man Utd Arsenal, and played like turd in games we should win. I would rather blood a few kids for the rest of the season like Poyet.

I think he looks okay with his feet and he is strong in the air, the main issue with Carroll and Nolan is Fat Sam plays as you say, lump ball when they are on the pitch. I think that is the main reason West Ham started the season well, they were almost forced to play proper football from injuries to the Fat Sam lumpball specialists and having new attacking players forced on him by the board.

The main issue is he was injured at Newcastle for a while iirc, he was injured at Liverpool a fair bit, he was injured a fair bit on loan with you guys and he's been injured loads since. 5-10mil and 50k a week, maybe, but 15mil and a huge wage seemed insane.

For a thick sod he has a good footballing brain. To be fair to BFS today, the team we had out to start is the one most fans wqould want, but two or three been really woeful today. Song and Downing especially.
