Chelsea 3 West Ham Utd 0 (23/04/11)

[bubbles1966]

Doesn't look much like a 3-0 until that final stat.

Moments UtJ, moments.

Could easily have gone our way if individuals had been more whole hearted or accomplished.

A good performance, whatever the scoreline. Same as at Spurs...and Arsenal.

Our boys have had a reasonable pop at them all this season.

Absolutely nohing to be ashamed of.

Upson was "sick" :lol:

Yes, I thought he was good too!

[hawkins_hammer]

Hawkins

Playing Ba up top with Cole would mean us playing a 4-4-2 ??

Wonder why Gold nevers mentions being born at 4-4-2 Green Street any more ??

I know I know.

Miles, it remains Spector > O'Neill.

[fmgod]

Same every week though, if we had done this or that we would of one, if we had defended better we would of won, football is a game of if and buts and at the moment we are not getting results, Grant is failing, we need to change it, we need to turn them if and buts into goals and clean sheets.

[smuts]

Why? T*ttenham fan on a West Ham forum offers partonising comment minutes after a derby defeat ... nope, stand by the comment.

It wasn't patronising at all.....pretty much spot on.

Sadly despite how well we done, we now look doomed.

[bubbles1966]

Spector isn't better than O'Neil. They're =

Spector is an intelligent, useful player if used properly.

If both play regularly in the Npower next year I'd expect automaric promotion.

[neilbob]

thought we played quite well, but they were the better side (or rather individuals). No disgrace in losing today, and the scoreline was a bit heavier than was fair (on the run of play).

what we need to do is win our last 3 winnable games - because sure as **** Wigan, Blackburn and Sunderland are not as good as Chelsea...

[Up the Junction]

Absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

Couldn't agree more.

Sod all to do with Grant today.

Chelsea are one of the best 8 teams in Europe - we matched them today but for key moments.

For 100k a week a player you'd expect better workmanship than for 40k a week, surely?

[Cuenca 'ammer]

But we never seem to show up for those games. Great to look good against Chel$ki and ManYoo, (games we "expect" to lose) but why oh fkcuing why can't we get a performance away at Bolton, or home to Villa ????????????

Exactly

[miles]

I know I know.

Miles, it remains Spector > O'Neill.

Oh I agree. He's actually the best all round central midfield player we have at the club. Seriously. :lol:

[Westbourne Bill]

A performance that suggests they could win at Wigan.

[bubbles1966]

We've beaten Liverpool, Spurs and Man U this year - who we "always" lose to.

We're unbeaten this year against Everton - who we "always" lose to.

Our problem stems from **** players back in the autumn...like Kovac, Ilunga etc.....

IF we stay up, the promised land is around the corner.

Half hearted, perma crock and useless players are on their way out.

17th will do.

Today hasn't been a bad day.

I said it after the villa game about him changing the strikers every game. Also, what's his problem with Tomkins? He was our best defender all season, then dropped. Also, Sears was excellent today, and always is for me, but why suddenly brought back in today? He seems to change his team every game. I'll be surprised if he plays that front 3 next game.

A one nil would have been better but I was surprised how we matched them in the second half and thought we could nick a point.

[bubbles1966]

Becks,

There's a team there waiting to break out.

If we play that way over the last 4, we'll be ok.

Until Torres got his stuck in the mud goal it was even-steven. Again (wish I wasn't saying it) Dacosta slow to react.

Danny Boy

I can't explain his preference for Dacosta over Tomkins. Tomkins can be more obviously horrendous - but at this best is a far superior player. Think we'll try something similar against Citeh next week.

[w4hammer]

i know we've all be known to clutch at straws, but that was a great show today...i still, till my dying death dont know how keane missed that chance, and at 1-1 it would have been a different game.

we competed all over the park, and i cant fault anyone


watching games every week gives you a sense- and when carlton was just a little short, lost the ball- they go three on one and its a goal.


fantastic day out, showed those c**** how it is...we will prolly go down..but we are west ham, and always will be

Tomkins isn't ready to be playing week in week out, first thing on the shopping list should be capable CB's.
