Re: Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

On the subject of Anderson... Two points being mentioned... Confidence & Motivation. Does Anderson have the physical capabilities of being a top top player? From my perspective I believe so. I saw it aplenty in the first season, I saw it in the first third of this season, but since then it has b...

Re: ⚽ Liverpool v West Ham United:Match thread (24/02)

Overall, much better performance than the pathetic showing at City. City & Liverpool games I never expected a point, and was fearing the hammering our goal difference would take and confidence. Hopefully, we can take the positives from the Liverpool game and build upon it and take the game to So...

Re: ⚽West Ham Utd v Huddersfield Town: match thread (16/3)

Well logged into to have a read and bloody hell we are a negative bunch!! What were people expecting from the season..? Put it into perspective, we were NEVER going to hit top 6, and to be honest I would have been delighted with a top half finish! We're FOUR points off 7th. Do I think we'll reach 7t...

Re: ⚽ Crystal Palace v West Ham Utd: match thread (9/2)

A performance and win here will be more impressive for me that Monday night Of course, I enjoyed Monday, but we've been able to get up for those sorts of games all season. These are the games we have consistently been inconsistent in. I can't see any changes to the starting 11 for Saturday unless in...

Re: Manuel Pellegrini West Ham United’s 17th manager

It's nice to actually see West Ham with a plan this season Yes, we have been inconsistent but we are learning, developing and adapting. I would expect us to be more consistent next season. Although with the number of injuries we have had it has been a very good job. Every taking about Liverpools &am...

Well, that was bloody enjoyable! Of course, previous few weeks have been frustrating, but let's see moving forward how distracting that transfer window was! I have never been so calm having a goalkeeper at the back as I am with Fab! As others have mentioned his handling at crosses is fantastic! Ogbo...

Re: ⚽ AFC Wimbledon v West Ham Utd: match thread

I don't think the selection was the problem. The team which was put out was expected to still win that! It was certainly a team which should not have conceded 4!!! The team and management were COMPLACENT!!! We thought it was going to be a case of just turning up! It has happened a few times this sea...

Re: Marko Arnautovic Signs

If he goes - replace him! If he doesn't - I'll be right behind him Today..? He closed down & whined when others didn't. He does this every game He had some fantastic touches, bought others into play, caused defenders problems. For me, he had his usual performance. Would have been interesting to ...

I remember after the poor start about 7 games in having a debate on twitter because I could see the potential and what Pellers was trying to do!! It was never going to start quickly, and there will still be inconsistency. Like a child trying to walk, falling over at first, then, shakey at times, whe...

Re: ⚽ West Ham Utd v Brighton & H/A: Match Thread (02/01)

Have been confident all season, including the first 4 games where I could see the potential. Unfortunately, I don't have much confidence going into this evenings game. No particular person's fault, but we look shattered - the lack of available squad players is hurting us currently. I hope we produce...

Re: Marko Arnautovic Signs

I don't see him leading the line for Chelsea. Perhaps his style of play will change but he drifts a lot for us and if at Chelsea's, doing that would take the space away from the like of Willian, Hazard etc. For me, he's not a number 9. You won't see him just sitting on the last defender although per...

Re: ⚽ West Ham Utd v Tottenham Hotspur: match thread (20/10)

Haven't watched the game back, however at the time I thought it was a decent performance, and an improvement upon when we played them last season and drew 1-1. Perhaps that says more about spurs than it does us... They're main threat was the pace of Lucas Moura, other than that nothing to get excite...

Re: Summer Transfer Window 2018- 59 days remaining

Fabianski / Mawson I can't help but think it is due to the Ayew transfer.

Fabianski has some impressive stats. Never convinced me at Arsenal, but at Swansea appears to have improved.

Jinxed, do we know much more about Arnie?

Has anyone seen Milik play other than at the Euro's? I like him and I dont know why because he's missed a boatload so far in the tournament! I am in the same boat as you..

What a difference a few days makes! Firstly, beating Liverpool at Anfield and then our owners going out and doing the business in the transfer market.
