Match Day Thread West Ham EFL Cup

Not to break up the Conte love in...but what has happened to rueben loftus cheek???

yeah.. surprising. Solanke makes the bench. Chalohab gets the love.

I guess - RLC's desire to play up the field may be a factor. Our team up top is so populated.

 

[george the blue]

not even bothered, that was a brilliant header!

 

[StanDMan]

not even bothered, that was a brilliant header!

Kouyate is a special talent. But JT could have put some pressure. JT & Cahill together is not a good sight to behold.
Cahill struggled against Antonio.

Batters need to step up and score some goal now.

 

[The Ginger Marks]

A fit JT would have

 

[StanDMan]

Begovic worse than useless. Good shot though.

A fit JT would have

younger - you meant?

another half hearted challenge from JT. He shouldn't start league matches on this form.

 

[Big Ern]

a deserved second.
This has been the best we've played since we ruined the Spuds title hopes last April.

 

[StanDMan]

deserved? against run of play.

2 goals - 2 mistakes from JT.

 

[Big Ern]

haha, leave the crack pipe alone. We've been all over you, Begovic has been your best player so far and kept you in the game.

 

[StanDMan]

Randolph is in beach?? FFS - before HT - we should have grabbed 2 goals.

Hope this doesn't have any impact on our league form.
Blessing in disguise - should be end of JT.

 

[george the blue]

azpilicueta has been so poor tonight.

simple things like following runners seems to have escaped him!

 

[StanDMan]

Batshuvayi so underwhelming. I don't see where he is going to get game time if we are out of this.

 

[StanDMan]

How did Willian miss that??

Willian so off boil - understandable.
Oscar is also so invisible.

 

[Big Ern]

No he doesn't look that good, does he. I'd still swap him for Zaza though

 

[StanDMan]

I will swap myself for Zaza.. he is more Simone Haha

 

[StanDMan]

Costa - worst miss ever??

Willian is back atleast.

 

[StanDMan]

Ok here we go. Didn't see lot of the game. But glanced in once in a while.

0s
JT - Please retire today. Don't be the elephant in the room.

1s
Conte - Not just for today's team selection - Not blending in Batters in 0-2, 3-0, 4-0 wins properly.See Bilic blends in Haha today after they went 2-0 up.
Batshuayi - Not interested. Is this the End?

2s
Dave - He is btter CB than Wingback. Awful at best.
Begovic - Usual shame except for some regulation saves.

3s
Pedro - invisible as sub


4s
Oscar - invisible except for that odd chance before HT.
Chalobah - Failed to grab the chance.

5s
Aina - did little in the wingback position.
Costa - Missed some clear chances. Better than Batters easily.


6s
Cahill & Luiz - Both did decent.
Hazard - lively


7s
Kante did more than our forward players.
Willian - got in impressively in the 2nd half.

 

[george the blue]

just not our game.

the lads behind their goal have the right idea, we dont score we riot!

(just kidding for those with a sense of humour bypass)

 

[george the blue]

we scored lads please dont fight, i cant be arsed reading the headlines in the papers tomorrow lol

 

[george the blue]

glad to see the mancs calling joses name (i think).

i'll take pleasure from watching him win this.

 

[The Ginger Marks]

a deserved second.
This has been the best we've played since we ruined the Spuds title hopes last April.

Well played Ern deserved win, we were far too profligate in front of goal.
