Pass down wing, cross
Pass down wing, cross
Pass down wing, low cross
Pass down wing, cross way over everyone
Pass down wing, low cross hits first man
Pass down wing, pass back to defence
Repeat the above for 90 mins.
No creativity, no one can pass through the middle, or pass for that matter. No one can burst past their man, barely anyone in the box.
We look absolutely ****....
Luckily this is a friendly so it means nothing. All that matters is that no one gets injured.

Re: ⚽ Racing Club de Lens v West Ham Utd: match thread
Haven’t watched the whole match but from what I’ve seen the back 5 became a back 7 which collectively couldn’t pass wind. The front 3 are then left to feed off scraps/force the issue. All wrong.

As far as I can tell, four black pixels hit a white pixel against the bar.
Re: ⚽ Racing Club de Lens v West Ham Utd: match thread
Coventry with the only piece of quality for us in the match and Bowen hit the bar. The pass deserved a goal, but our performance certainly hasn’t.

Re: ⚽ Racing Club de Lens v West Ham Utd: match thread
I don't mind this eye in the sky camera angle. You get to see team shapes and movement, and in the case of this match, how every player of ours who has the ball in their half is completely isolated from help.

First time we've moved the ball with any zing!
Re: ⚽ Racing Club de Lens v West Ham Utd: match thread
Think that was Moyes saying to Sullivan his squad is still far to small and he needs 4 more players a left back with pace who can defend a defensive midfielder a left winger with pace and a creative midfielder only out going if possible Arthur, anyone else going out needs replacing,we look so slow with zero creativity things need to change very quickly next week incoming wise

Moyes would never admit it, but they played like were told not to tackle, not to challenge and above all not to get injured.

Looks like MC practiced in the same way we did today by getting spanked.

Hope this performance was a smokescreen
Not quite sure what our attacking plan was? Surely we’ll improve with a focal point, whether that is Antonio or Scamacca.

Dunno.

I think it was a meaningless friendly where we had no strikers.

Only thing I take positively from the game: Coventry did not look bad.
Re: ⚽ Racing Club de Lens v West Ham Utd: match thread
That was awful. We definitely learned we are Fuc#ed without Scamacca or Antonio, and we are devoid of quality on the ball.
Benrahma was absolutely woeful, and Zouma looks incredibly unfit and he and Johnson uncomfortable on the ball. More additions desperately needed

Minus 7 days into the season and we already look out of ideas.

One positive I'll take from that game was the final whistle...

If a number of our players were in the shop window during this game, let’s hope somebody forgot to open the curtains. A few player values dropped big amounts otherwise.
I’ll say no more until I’ve seen the highlights again.

Re: ⚽ Racing Club de Lens v West Ham Utd: match thread
Showed lack of quality in depth
Benrahma & Masuaku both not good enough
Going to be a tough game next week….can’t see us having much possession & many chances….again set pieces will be are main danger
