I can see us losing a few games 1-0 unless Sarr comes back and helps offer more threat in attack. Tight at the back but maybe have a bit of bad luck or mistake and aren't able to get back into it. Newcastle will be safe - I think Everton, Leeds and Brentford are at more risk from the bottom 3.
Smells like the last time we went down fro the Prem a bit to me ATM. Garcia - QSF worse still - Pearson nearly. Muñoz - CR70 worse still - Woy?
We were unlucky tonight, should have shared the points, a couple of weeks ago we would have conceded more Need to get the balance between attack and defence right and we could start collecting some points
Will the team have a more attacking midfield approach on Saturday ? You’d have to hope so - certainly out wide if Sarr is available but I certainly don’t see all of Pedro , Dennis and Sarr starting (or King ) Roy will be defensive minded first then work from there .
One of the biggest frustrations for me in the stands was that our players weren't shooting when there was an opportunity. Several times when there was a gap, players either drove forward with the ball into a dead end, and then were closed out by defenders, or turned looking for options and then either got crowded out or recycled the ball backwards. We seemed very unwilling to shoot from range, almost to the point I thought it could have been an instruction from Roy. My point is, if you don't shoot, you don't score, and West Ham's goal was a prime example of that. In similar positions, we didn't shoot, and so we didn't score.
I am losing the will to keep on watching us at the mo. Seemingly we cant score goals now... whereas everyone has been saying how strong we are up front Some good attacking moves last night....but came to nothing
Confidence has gone. Get that back and we'll be right back in the mix. Just needs one to go in and I think we'll be off and running.
I've lost it too. Feel sorry for woy a bit. Tis a thankless task. Good luck to him, we are as good as down I fear now.
Well at least I was able to raise a smile last night. The 'Gentleman ' who recently uttered things like Old Fool and, worse, also questioned the mental state of someone he doesnt even know, is talking about moral compass ! The comments should surely have warranted a yellow card at least on here Appeared to be a flippant use of a serious subject. Dont lose your way with that Compass!
Zouma has been fined £250k by West Ham - 2 weeks wages - and the RSPCA have seized his cats. Money to go to animal welfare charities. Serves him right...
It seems he has also lost his sponsor Adidas - and one of West Ham's sponsors (Vitality) has suspended their sponsorship. This may not be over...
I am pleased about this, I have just seen the video. It is totally rediculous and unacceptable. Saying that, I am glad I don't have a cat after some of our "performances" this season.
