Re: West Ham Utd v Bayer Leverkusen: match thread (2nd leg)

Alonso played the game perfectly. Not that it took a master tactician to create the correct plan for the game. He knew that we'd throw the kitchen sink at them. He knew that his side had to hold us to a goal. It almost didn't work given the length of the adrenaline buzz our players were running on i...

Re: Crystal Palace v West Ham Utd - Match Thread

Paqueta and Emerson had better bust a lung in this one. That's all I'll say. Especially since Paqueta didn't show last night. Benefit of the doubt for him having a good reason. Still...

Re: Israel

Apparently Israel has responded with a missile retaliation. No news on the wheres, whats, how much etc. Possibly a nuclear facility.

83rd minute. 93rd minute. 89th minute. That's a little brutal.

Re: West Ham Utd v Bayer Leverkusen: match thread (2nd leg)

Listening to the Football Daily, Euro Leagues. According to them, nothing to see here. We were better than Leverkusen because Bayer were hungover and without sleep.

I didn't see it, but I'm sure he got it because he and the ref both speak Spanish.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Undoubtedly mate and we are where we are but everyone was happy with the way we lost tonight and it’s not as if we win every week by sitting back and low blocking anyway is it? Perfectly valid to question why we haven’t played more like we did tonight before tonight in my opinion. January might exp...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

I'm not making that argument. Doesn't matter what system you play at that level if you don't have the option make useful personnel changes during the game. Not just once but up to 3x /game.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

It's all so aggravating. This team can play his system but not for 90 minutes. Not unless you have 5 or 6 players on the bench to come in and either continue what they were doing or make adjustments and keep pushing effectively. Why in the world do we repeatedly allow the squad to get beyond bare? I...

Reporter: "was there any justification from the 4th official to explain their decisions?" Moyes: "No. Maybe they're bench all speaks Spanish and their manager speaks Spanish and I don't. Maybe that had something to do with it. Maybe I should have learned my Spanish better when I was o...

Re: West Ham Utd v Bayer Leverkusen: match thread (2nd leg)

If we'd had Lucas 2nd half we'd have made a few passes through the middle, forcing them to come inside and give space to our wide players to get the ball forward. Instead 2hd half it was easy for them to just sit and let us play wide, back to CB, wide, back to CB, hoof. JWP did fantastic, but is no...

Re: West Ham Utd v Bayer Leverkusen: match thread (2nd leg)

Leverkusen had the options to change things first half. Kossounou was a disaster, on a yellow card and being absolutely torn a new one. Alonso could haul him off early and bring on Tapsoba. It’s a shame Alonso didn’t risk it a bit longer, as I thought we would either score again or he’d get sent of...

Re: West Ham Utd v Bayer Leverkusen: match thread (2nd leg)

No doubt: a magnificent first half, and I felt cheated not to beat them. Serious question: what would have happened if Antonio used his obvious physical strength to stand up, keep upright whenever he could, and avoided going to ground whenever possible? Would we benefit from keeping the ball alive?...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024

Just the one little hand grenade from Thursday's BBC Gossip Liverpool could move for West Ham's Ghana forward Mohammed Kudus, 23, if 31-year-old Egypt striker Mohamed Salah leaves. (Fichajes - in Spanish) No idea how trustworthy they are. They couldn't afford Dec. Why would they afford Mo?

Re: West Ham Utd v Bayer Leverkusen: match thread (2nd leg)

Rewatch the game. Antonio is well known to Throw himself to the ground. It happens in the prem. not saying he couldn’t have had a couple of fouls but he’s brought it upon himself as to why he doesn’t get them. Same as Paqueta recently. He got chucked to the ground a lot tonight. A lot. Whether he's...
