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

Terrible ref. let them get away with pretty much everything, which kind of sums up there equaliser... lucky. Proud of the team... shame we could keep it up for the whole 90 mins but considering the lack of options from the bench. The fact that they have only put up 4 mins of extra time tells you eve...

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

We have stopped playing the ball on the deck and keep going long.

FFS at least someone like Cornet on i.e. pace

and a horse's head. Speaking of which, might be a game for the Oggfather this one due to his heading ability - both defensively and from set pieces

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

I have a funny feeling about tonight.

Another in the snow vs Man Utd type of performance.

Re: West Ham United vs Fulham FC - Sunday 14 April - 2pm

To be fair, I don’t think they realised the extent of the injury. Let’s not go over the top here. TBF you don't have to be a rocket scientist to work out it is serious based on the reaction of everyone and the fact that there more medical staff and first aid people on the pitch than West Ham players.

Re: West Ham United vs Fulham FC - Sunday 14 April - 2pm

Johnson did not even bother to run back then.

Pathetic performance all round.

Subs more so. 1 down and he does not even think about bringing on Cornet, Earthy or Mubama.

Moyes is done

VAR checked the badge, not the incident

oh great - 1 down and he brings on another defender in Johnson. Meanwhile Cornet checks his bank balance

Final ball has been woeful every time today.

Just not at it. Bring on some fresh legs, and more important some fresh "minds"

Re: Midweek Games April 9-11

Should have been a pen as it looked borderline whether it was inside the area or out - not a clear and obvious error. Once again VAR saves Man Utd in this match by either overruling every decision that goes against them, upholding those in favour of them, or sometimes just turning a blind eye. Shoul...

Re: Bayer Leverkusen v West Ham Utd Europa QF 1st leg match thread

My biggest issue with last night was the lack of attacking intent. Yes, we were missing a few (key) players, but so do most teams and while I can accept that this may have influenced our overall approach to the game, I cannot accept what appeared to be any kind of intent to try and attack. Several t...

Still think we can hurt them next week IF we show a bit more intent to attack.

Re: Bayer Leverkusen v West Ham Utd Europa QF 1st leg match thread

Starting Coufal and Cresswell against their pace could backfire massively. Should have been Johnson and Aguerd - the latter cos he can also ping a long ball for Kudus and Antonio to chase

Going to be a long night I fear
