This season has gone from bad to worse, I am still disappointed that we let Tomkins go he could have filled the RB berth as I thought he did reasonably well there last season when called upon. Nordvelt is not a Right-back he is a central midfielder, Zaza is utter tosh. Today (and for the next few games) I would have had Antonio at RB until Cress gets back and Arbs could slot back in. Payet and Lanzini had an off day and we left far too many gaps. Nobes is not getting forward like he did last season and the midfield is looking forlorn and all too often going AWOL. Our strikers (?) are playing with backs to goal and only late on did they get some support. I love West Ham United but we don't seem to have heart at the moment.
We Have players that other clubs would love on their books .. Payet, Oxford, Lanzini, Antonio, Feghouli..... and on paper we look strong then boom they come onto the pitch and it goes belly up... time to roll up the sleeves and show some fighting spirit! This scenario is heartbreaking and right now we are looking a very poor side.
DITM
Was just saying to a mate of mine recently being in a big stadium does not make us a big club though we have that potential certainly, to be a big club you need to fight and earn it. Leicester last season showed what a team can do when they work for each other, OK they are not so hot this term. Last season it was as if the players wanted to give the fans and Boleyn a great send off (which they did) Time to take the bull by the horns and make the fans feel that the LS is home!
Found Out
Payet has been found out and is now tactic'd out of the game (free kicks aside), and Bilic needs to follow moaninho's lead and for the sake of the team drop the captain.
Found out is a bit far isnt
Found out is a bit far isnt it?poor game yes foudn out n. He hasn't been found out its just hes playing in a team thats completely unorganised and devoid of creativity. This is actually the reason I hate seeing him on the left wing. If you play a player like Payet who isnt the fastest on the wing, and you dont have runners off him and movment in the rest of the team then of course its easy to stop him. Every time he recieved the ball he had 3 players on him. Play him back in the middle. I don't get it. Last season before his injury Payet was the cam and Lanzini the winger. When Payet returned it changed. We miss Carroll for his presence and we miss Sakho for his work rate. I fear if Bilic is still hear we will lose Sakho. Ive given Zaza time and ive had enough of his Lazy cheating attitude.
I can see us bringing this chant back!

worst I've seen
I can honestly say after driving a 230 mile round trip, that was the worst game of football I've seen since the Grant days.
For the first 30 odd mins we wasn't playing too bad of a game, as soon as they scored it was as if a different team came out...sorry lads I was watching fans leaving with 15-20mins to go...`IT CAN be turned around but how and when ???
sadly
we have lost our way we have no leaders on the pitch noble/payet/kouyate any or all three could and should of been subbed as there was nothing about them at all yesterday and for the season so far...lanzini coming off was harsh as I felt he was better than any of those mentioned...I am not going to digout Zaza as having no support and a long ball hit up to you is going back to the bad old days but whaat I found truly disturbing was the camera showing zaza getting the ball outside the D of the Southampton area and not one other west ham player was in the same half...not one shocking truly shocking and it happened on more than one occasion......its all very well noble coming out and saying we could of lost by 5/6 goals honest you say but if this system is not working then he and the players need to go to slav and find a soloution and playing just one man up front when clearly nobody is supporting that striker well it does not work.....go to 442 its tried and tested and yes some players will have to warm the bench but tough as they are lazy on the pitch right now so a wake up call is needed....and already hearing on the radio the infamous "to good to go down" phrase well guess what we are not this is west ham we go down with good squads and bad squads....so the coaching staff management and players need to grow a set realise its not working and change it....if that means dropping some flair for more practical players so be it otherwise like the geordies another team with fifty thousand plus fans will be watching championship footy only difference is we play in a soulless bowl of an arena not a football stadium
