    I can do better than blaming 1 individual. I'll blame 5 !

    Trippier
    Davies
    Son
    Kane
    Chadli


    You were all terrible.

    Play better next time please <nahnah>

    Especially Son and Kane <erm>

    Not sure Kane has got it in him..he looks shot, slow, lacklustre, mentally fatigued.

    Then again it's the NLD.

    I think our play showed that we were aware of it because we played more in the air than usual but that still does not play to our strengths.

    That was annoying the hell out of me. It played to one of West Ham's strengths and one of our weaknesses.
    Should've played it on the ground more, even if it was a little more difficult than usual to find any actual grass.

    "If you are going to quote the great Brian Clough then you need to get it right"

    On the matter of correctly quoting Brian Clough, I met with him and :

    we talked about it for twenty minutes and then we decided I was right.

    "You said it was a "must win" yesterday"

    It was.
    A chance to get 8-9 pts clear of the Goons with a win in the NLD was massive.
    Now we shall have to see if the boys will respond exactly as they did after the
    Leicester PL snatch job.

    If we accept that our best full backs are Walker and Rose, then we were missing 5 of our strongest 11 tonight (Dembele, Vertongen and Alli). As players tire, we need more of our best players on the pitch. We have the reources to swap the players behind Kane. However, Dembele and Dier are a different matter. If we can avoid further injury, then we should be fine for the rest of the season.

    Play on the ground and ball bobbles all over the place it was lose lose. Despite that we still played better in the second half, we could easily have nicked it.
    The mask bothers Kane he was fiddling with it off and on. Maybe why Chelsea sent their players to Italy for their's

    Poor surface
    Poor ref.

    I won't take away the effort put in by West Ham, hate the diving though.

    In hindsight Davies/Trippier were not the best pairing for tonight, but the rotation Pochettino
    has been doing for FB has been working very well.

    Walker and Rose are the most physical full backs in the league. Tonight was made for them really. Shame we couldn;t play them tonight and Saturday.

  12. At least we are not ripping one another to pieces, lads. The Goonies have gone ape-**** on their board! Sanj has called Pixie out on his continued support of Wenger, and Pixie has responded by admitting that it is probably time for Wenger to leave!

    Complete meltdown!

  15. You can accuse us of many things, Sucky, but having a meltdown is not one of them. Take a look at the Gooners' match-day thread, on their board, and discover what a real meltdown looks like! It's hilarious!

  17. Keep an eye open for the post where Sanj calls out Pixie and afcatw on their continued support of Wenger, and the one where Pixie admits that it might be time for Wenger to go! It's dynamite!

    I didn't want to say it, but I agree, you are having a serious meltdown on a daily basis it seems.
