West Ham MOTM

1) Markovic
2) N'Diaye
3) Niasse

 

OK, Chazz, but we all saw SB take an attacker off at 1-0 (or even 0-0) and bring on a defender to shut the game down.


Or not...

 

Lazza
Nokiazza
Roberazza

 

Not enough of Grosicki in people's lists, he had 2 assists

 

to be fair Brucie did have plan A and plan B -- Plan A - if were losing take off all the defenders and go for the ' charge of the light brigade - plan B - if were winning, take off all the forwards and defend the Alamo

ps I thought you went to home games - did you miss today - if you went you wouldn't have put Elmo in your MoM selection - did you count how many times he lost the ball and give it away - he nearly cost us a goal late on

 

Robertson
Nokia
Jak

I wish we'd stop ****ing about at the backs at times - why wont anyone hoof it up field - we seem to want to pass it around going further and further towards our own goal, pass it to Jak - who is then rushed into hoofing it up field

 

On reflection

Rannochia
N'Diaye
Grabowski

 

You must have loved watching Brucey's teams.

 

Markovic
N'Diaye
Grosicki

 

1. Ranocchia
2. Grosicki
3. Maguire
notable others: Jack, Marko.
nervy 1st half - many misplaced passes in midfield and the front third (Niasse, N'Diaye). Some decent pressing/harassing up front.
Far more energy 2nd half.
Robertson - typically poor defending, but took his goal well. He should have been more aware of helping out Davies on Carroll's goal.
Markovic actually contributed today.
Important comeback - so Silva did his job.

 

1. Rannochia
2. Robertson
3. Alfred

 

Rannochia
Harry
Grosicki

 

But look at the stats. We had an incredible record of winning games when we had a lead. Not sure Bruce haters can contest that?

 

Ranocchia
N'Diaye
Markovic

 

Exactly! We can hoof the ball up as soon as we get the thing and the opposing defence are not settled. We pass the ball back and then Jak hoofs it but the opposing defence is organised.

 

Frog
Robbo (Second half performance only, first half he was ****)
Grosicki (His best performance in a city shirt)

Notable mentions to everyone else - Some decent performances from the whole team.

I thought Niasse was an absolute handful all afternoon.

The City fan laughing and pointing at Snodgrass as he forlornly made his way to the bench - Top Bantz.

 

MOTM?

Alf Tupper,just attends and gets behind the club in its hour of need.



Silva OUT

 

Jak
Harry
Frog
Robbo keeps getting a mention but his first half was crap! Too many times choosing the wrong pass and giving it straight to the oppo! Hence their first goal! He owed us the equaliser!
