Burnley Hammer wrote: Fri Jan 15, 2021 9:13 am That's not fair at all. In fact, it's nonsense. And I say that as someone who wasn't really keen on Haller.
Burnley is right. There are some quality players in the conference.

A potentially worrying bit of news if true!

**** me, that fella likes to beat around the bush... When someone sits through his repetitive drivel, hopefully they will explain what this is about.

That's bad if so. Pardon?
Am I the only who though Hugh was saying Cresswell had put some weight on for a minute?

Re: Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

That's 90% of wingers in the modern game though, doesn't mean they're not referred to as a winger still That’s the point of a front 3 with a back 3/5 behind though isn’t it? Width from the wingbacks (Arthur and Coufal) and then Bowen cutting in from right with his left and Benrahma coming inside fr...

Re: Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

People worrying about the midfield two are really focusing on the wrong issue. If Soucek and Rice are (rightly) the starting pair, that still leaves Noble, Snodgrass, Lanzini and Fornals (who I still think is better central) as alternatives. Noble and Snodgrass can still very much do that job. Even ...

Re: ⚽ Leicester City vs West Ham Utd: match thread

First post, been on the side-lines for years. I believe it's not Moyes being away, it's more likely not having the negative fans on their backs. Just look at the evidence, played so much better. Alright... I’ll bite... You’ve obviously never been to a game, we are always behind the team on match da...

Coufal started well.
You could easily argue Cresswell has look more natural in this position than he does at left back..

Re: ⚽ West Ham Utd v Hull City: match thread

Will start this by staying I agree, when he is going forward, is a great player moving forward and can score goals in ways alot of our squad cant. However, Moyes as a manger plays a high press tactic which is passed on being able to overload your attack with an extra man when moving forward, so the...

Re: West Ham vs Bournemouth - Match thread (Betway Cup)

OS says Antonio and Haller up front as a partnership... Can’t see us playing 4-4-2 with Noble and Lanzini in middle personally.

Surely a 3 with Fornals and Antonio out wide?

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

I often see people saying stadium is cold, I don’t notice it myself and actually I usually take my coat off once in my seat, including on Saturday.

Does it differ up on the top tier compared to where I am down by the pitch perhaps?

1) Because there is precious little likelihood of it happening; 2) Because goal difference might be important - Villa dropped 7 and Watford 8 against this mob; 3) Because a narrow defeat isn't as disheartening as a thumping; We've gone for 5 or 6 against this lot under Bilic, Pellegrini and Allardy...

Re: ⚽ Manchester City v West Ham United:Match thread (19/02)

Doc, Man City and Liverpool win 75% of their games against all PL opposition. It's 90% against those from 9-20 in the PL. One defeat in 30 between them against clubs vaguely like us (9th-20th). The only points they have dropped all year against the bottom 6 was Man City's defeat to Norwich. Our poi...

Re: ⚽ Manchester City v West Ham United:Match thread (19/02)

This is exactly what I think about Haller too. No space to work in. But Antonio shouldn’t be a striker, if he does this with a CF in front or inside him, it’s a powerful, fast run that breaks the line before he plays it to the man up top. Should have been Haller, but he’s too weak and not capable o...

Re: ⚽ Manchester City v West Ham United:Match thread (19/02)

Feels like, for Moyes a 2-0 loss is a good thing...

That was a game we were expected to lose, 2-0 or 12-0, doesn’t matter really. Goal difference to stay up shouldn’t be a concern. Should have just had a go, would rather lose by more but look like we give a ****.
