Re: Aston Villa vs West Ham United: match thread

and Zouma seems to get off lightly for not closing down Watkins better, or "falling for that step over" .. Kept him really nicely on his left foot in text book fashion only for Watkins to finish like prime Ronaldo (the original one) with his wrong foot. Sometimes you have to hold your han...

Re: Gary O’Neil fired

Another one where on the face of it he's done a good job but a lot of bmth fans I speak to are absolutely dead behind the eyes with the football played.

Re: ACF Fiorentina vs West Ham Utd: match thread (UEFA Europa Conference League Final)

Not sure if this the right thread I used to recall a match day thread years ago for things like travel etc...

I'm in Leicester for the final, going to download festival Thursday onwards.

Any Leicester based hammers watching it out at a pub or could recommend somewhere in the city?

Leaving out the tactical stuff as it has been done to death. I understand the statement above but how many times this season has it been there for the taking and we haven't taken the three points?

Re: ⚽ West Ham Utd v Everton: match thread

I must be in the minority in thinking our back 3 was a comedy trio. Zouma struggling to walk let alone run. Can see why he couldn't play in a pair at the moment. He'd be destroyed. Ogbonna showing his age and not being able to get set. Aguerd is rolls royce and is deserving of a proper partner in a ...

Re: ⚽ West Ham United vs Crystal Palace: match thread

From the Bournemouth thread I posted post match... I get this nagging feeling Downes drops out of the side because we're not getting enough going forward when we still continue to accommodate a limited footballer in Soucek who runs around a lot, makes good challenges and is excellent positionally, b...

Re: VAR Thread

I've come to the conclusion that I'd like goal line technology with a VAR violent conduct ref and that's it. The only intervention they'd make in the game would be for unspotted violent conduct. Off the ball incidents etc. They would refer the on pitch ref to the monitor to make a decision on what h...

Re: The Cresswell Thread

You can see how he has developed throughout his career technically. Outstanding on the ball now. Makes the right decisions most of the time. Just his lack of pace that has exposed him later in his career on limited occasions - which is understandable in the modern game. If/when we played a back 3 he...

His pace alone against Fredericks was simply required over Coufal.

Kehrer straight back in at right back once we have two fit centre halves.

Re: ⚽ West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth: match thread

We’ve certainly looked a bit better defensively since we’ve gone with the 3 in midfield. We have one of the best defensive records anyway. I'm more concerned about what it is doing to our attack. We looked so disjointed and Benny had a good game despite the system around him, not because of it. I g...

Re: Vladimír Coufal signs

Was so disappointing to hear of the abuse he has been getting. It's one thing thinking he is playing crap and using a football forum to convey that. It's another directing nasty tweets at him. Mindless. I may not rate him, but he seems an honest pro that has bought into the club and we don't want to...

Re: ⚽ Aston Villa v West Ham United: match thread

Getting a little tired of Moyes' comments about Benny. He doesn't say the same sort of things about others in the squad. Could you imagine him post match about Soucek, "He's had a mixed start to the season, but that's the thing with Tomas, he struggles with the ball at his feet and hasn't been ...

Re: ⚽ Aston Villa v West Ham United: match thread

It wasn’t fine on paper at all. A few raised the concerns about the lack of ability to bridge the gap between the midfield and attack which we often see when Fornals is tasked with that job in a 5-3-2. of course they were shot down for being negative on here but once again we’ve seen how poor we ar...

Re: ⚽ Aston Villa v West Ham United: match thread

I cant agree with that at all. Two of our best players today IMVHO. Soucek still can't seem to fathom the idea of playing the ball into the path of its destination rather than behind. Slowing every passage of play down. Coufal when he came on in the first half got the ball 5 times and gave it away ...

Oh and I still think Coufal and Soucek are on borrowed time.

Still comfortably underpar and being carried by others.

Re: ⚽ Aston Villa v West Ham United: match thread

Lineup on paper was fine but it didn't work out in practice. I think it's generous to say the first half was part of the gameplan. But Moyes changed it and managed the game in play well. Felt for Scamacca. He didn't do much wrong and I don't think Antonio did any worse or better than him. We just gr...

Coufal should be watching over his shoulder at Kehrer. That's the position he will thrive in for us.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.

To give you an idea of how difficult some of these deals are to do, two solicitors on the Kehrer deal spent 3 hours talking about the inclusion/removal of 1 word in the contract. It's tough!
