West Ham Utd 0 Portsmouth 0 (15/11/08)

[Bobby Orangeboom]

Happy with the clean sheet, phsychologically more than anything else..

Juts shows that the back 4 that started is probably our best back 4 & even when Ilunga ent off, unlike last week the reshuffle stayed firm..

Again we played some nice stuff but are just lacking that final ball...

Onwards & upwards West Ham..

It's a shame Zola won't be able to have the chance to implement the Playing Staff on that Formation that he has so much faith in as the Playing Personnel he currently has may well cost him his Job at some stage this Season or next, if he isn't given any money..

It could be a lot worse.

Phil Parkes being interviewd on the pitch, screen says "Alan Taylor Interview"

Did anyone actually hear the Parksey interview ? I was in the DML not too far from our hero but could make out absolutely nothing, maybe something about Rob Green was my best guess..........shambolic is all I can say for the PA.

[ironkipper]

better than last week! Collins my MOTM. Green played well though - kept 2 one-on-ones out from defoe in second half ... england call-up only right. thought bellamy's shot was best chance we had ... shame he f***ed it up. long range punts from collison not going to win us matches. need to bin 433 and find someone who can score goals. Too much to ask?

I haven't read the whole thread but have gone back and looked over the last 6 or 7 pages and seen no mention of our penalty appeal.

I haven't seen it on tv and I was behind the goal up the other end but it seems impossible for us to get a penalty decision to go our way this season as we have had decent shouts in 3 of the last 4 games.

4-3-3 is just no working as we are getting no width and wastes Bellamy's and Sears best asset which is there pace.

I would have taken a 0-0 before the game after the collapse against Everton and the clean sheet will hopefully give our defence some confidence.

I know Cole comes in for some stick but he looks like he is carrying an injury and has done for the last month or so.

Please 4-4-2 next week.

Bring back Jeremy Nicholas, I got to my seat a bit late yesterday but didn't even hear Bubbles and could only hear a bit of the Phil Parkes interview.

The one in the first half off Distin/Pamarot ??

I was absolutely adamnet at the time that it was & even said, " For that, the're no point watching the Replay as it will only ****ing depress us "

& guess what, i did watch the Replay & it wasn't a Penalty, credit where credit's due & that the reason i or anyone else on here isn't a Premiership Ref...

[beckton]

Fair enough.

[davids cross]

We were talking about this today and I can really see Green going to the Y*ds in January.

I can see a swap myself with a fella called Gomes. :lol:

[EvilC]

- Etherington was terrible when he came on. Just didn't give a sh*t.

He is the lamest excuse for a footballer I have ever seen. It depresses me every time I see him play for us.

[Memorial Ground]

I watched the game on a feed and Football First.

When I watched the game at the time I really wasn't impressed, but rewatching it on FF left me a lot more upbeat. I think the fact that they had more clear cut chances made me think it was worse than it was, but when you're counter-attacking you're going to have better chances.

It still doesn't take away from the fact that we haven't a clue how to score though

I love Behrami, he's an animal. Literally hurls himself into tackles, and if it doesn't work he chases his men down.

:lol: Noticed that O'Neill had him on the bench today......lost his place?

Thats really harsh , Ethers is a good player,he will never set the world alight but is a important player for us.

[I am law]

He was a good player for West Ham.

He is now a liability. His fresh air kick was one of our better chances. A very poor showing from him yesterday.

[cockney hammer]

matty should be being pushed for his place by lbm or kyle reid...

Yers he was poor yesterday , but for me he is the only player we have got who can take on players a get a cross in which is why he is important to us.

[bubbles1966]

Thats really harsh , Ethers is a good player,he will never set the world alight but is a impotant player for us.

Sorry BT, I'm never normally picky about spelling but I believe the correct spelling is impotent :lol:

better than last week

Strange, yes the result was better but the overall performance left me flat this week, whereas I felt optimistic even with a 3-1 defeat last week.
