FAC3: Gillingham 0-2 West Ham Utd (05/01/20)

[Ludeksgloves]

Take it easy lads. We’ll win this 2-0.

[Johnny Byrne's Boots]

Refs having a laugh

Anderson had at least two opportunities to cross the ball but chose more stepovers instead. Hopefully he'll learn.

Antonio right wing back for the next game then

No chance. Playing Antonio in any role that has the word ‘back’ in it takes so much away from his game. Persisting with playing Antonio in such roles was one of the main reasons Billic got the sack.

I doubt we’ll be seeing wing backs for a while now.

[Croydon]

To be fair, it's not just a Moyes' cup performance. It's been like this for all of the Managers under these owners.

It's like none of them have incentives to win cups. Wonder why?

[Aceface]

Even at 34 Zabaleta is better than Fredericks so it's no biggie in terms of the starting line-up, but it does spell trouble if he also goes down. Is Johnson still out with a long-term injury?

[Crouchend_Hammer]

As an attacking force that was far worse than the Wimbledon game
The only difference is we haven't made any individual mistakes so are all square
That was proper cack

[PlaistowIron]

Wow... that weren’t great...

Surely you can't pin this one on the owners?
We have a strong team out but are playing a very rigid and negative formation that means we cannot get on the ball

[Georgee Paris]

First 15 mins vs Bournemouth and first 45 mins vs Gillingham... can’t wait till the next game... welcome home Moyes :shock:
Zzzzzzzz

[Paddy O'Hammer]

And this is nearly our best starting 11.............*sigh*...............maybe someday we will sparkle!

[SpongeBob's Pants]

What a poor non-performance that was. DM will go mental at a few of them.

We need to bring in some cover for right back cos Zaba won't be good enough.

[wolf359]

Missing the captain.

As an aside. Watching this in 4K via the BT app (got an offer for £10 for the month , via their £25 a month no contract, cancelled straight away as not paying £25, but impressed). Watching on Samsung TV.

The second half will define moyes. They have bossed us but we are level. Can we kick on.

[Billydinho]

Well that was riveting.

World class team, world class manager, world class stadium.

[bubbles1966]

Typical cup game away at lower league opposition.

Their biggest game of the season so they go at it at 100mph, pitch looks bit bumpy, ball spending more time in the air than on the ground etc...

The ball players need to get more involved - there were some glimpses of that towards the end of the half.

Youngster who spends too much time in the gym (to build muscle) runs a bit in chilly weather. Pulls said muscle.

Still, 4 weeks off work full pay aint bad.

[essexguy]

Be nice if we would actually cross the ball rather than walk it in from the byline.

The amount of times we have got into positions to put the ball in the box.

Hold up. You’re picking holes in 15 minutes of a half we went 3-0 up in?

If Moyes had no incentive to win the cup he would have rotated the squad a lot more. If anything, feels like he was trying to make a statement by playing a close to full strength side. Of course he's coming off a crowded fixture period so those players are tired and came out flat against a high energy lower league side. Probably would have been better off giving some of the fresh legs (Ajeti, Holland, Johnson, Silva?) a run out.

Agendas out in force in the half time comments :lol:
