Should have started Benny on
Should have started Benny on the left instead of Fornals. He'd ruin Trent. Good to see Downes get a start. Where is Paqueta? 1-2 to the Hammers
Benny's shot make me shudder,
Benny's shot make me shudder, practically passed it to Allisson. He really doesn't always look comfortable with the ball which is scary if you're a footballer!
Two gk on the bench
I know others have mentioned this but what is the point of that?happy Downes and Scamacca starting so it will be Rice in the middle Soucek and Downes the shield for the back four
It
is a 4-4-3 formation
What does he see in Souchec
What does he see in Souchec
Keeper has gifted
Us 2 chances & we've wasted both! Probably regret that
There is something different
There is something different about West Ham tonight. Not the slow start of other games. We are making things happen as opposed to sitting back.
poor goal to concede
How much time was Johnson giving the player to cross into our box and Rice why was he not shooting?
Souscek off for Antonio
Worth a try with Bowen & Scam....but moyes won't do it we all know that
Clear penalty
But poor shot from Bowen, maybe something to do with van dyke the Clint scuffing the penalty spot...I despair at the tricks they are allowed to get away with
Not a badly taken penalty but
Not a badly taken penalty but that was an excellent save.
Bad Pen
anyone notice van dyke scuffing pen spot then Bowen trying to pass it into net and Allison his feet not on the line?
Shocking penalty
Why is Bowen even taking it?
Because the only other option is Rice
And he's even worse!
Thats the way this season is
Thats the way this season is going to go,we must take all our chances,and penalties especially,not good enough.
Agree Essex
Individual mistakes & the fear factor against these clubs,cost us points
Johnson and Kerher have had a
Johnson and Kerher have had a nervy first half, but Dowens looks very comfortable.
Bloody hell
Downes does a Rice instead of having a shot chooses a poor pass footballs simple we just overthink it
At least
We are giving it a go!
why dont we give it a go
From the start?
You know the score HG
First half is just a warm up!!
Finally Antonio and Scamaca
Finally Antonio and Scamaca get to play together. Pity Dowens had to give way. He had a good game.
Ants on with Scam correct
But takes off Downes instead of souscek incorrect
We ain't scoring in a month
We ain't scoring in a month of Sundays. Total shit in front of goal
Antonio has made a difference
Antonio has made a difference
Rice motm again
Scam was actually very disappointing tonight,but if we had of played with the same intensity first half we would have got something out of the game
Rice/Scamacca/
must not start the next game because they do nothing in the first half and then start to play in second half so why not give them a rest!
Sick of always
going a goal down and THEN start playing!!
i think
a good team performance especially the 2nd half lost it just because we did not take our chances it seems our mid field players are scared to take a shot at goal , that's why i like Benrahma, he try's to beat his man and shoot defenders hate that. Scamacca needs to work on his positioning and work at running at the space between the 2 centre backs,
Decent performance v a top
Decent performance v a top side. Pity bout penalty or we'd be talking up a good point. No one really shone, rice maybe but to be expected at somewhere like anfield. Benhrama really lacks quality at this level though imo. His end product is non existent.
I agree the more we get these
I agree the more we get these higher quality players in it shows the frailties in Benrahma, Fornals and Soucek. They’re just not at the level we’re trying to get to. Johnson for me was woeful last night. He tends to switch off in games which you can’t do at this level. For me once Aguerd is back we would have Zouma and him in the middle, Kehrer RB, Emerson LB, Rice and Downes holding and Paqueta , Bowen And Antonio behind Scamacca. Cornet to come back in at some point.
Agree. Think cornet is an
Agree. Think cornet is an upgrade on Benhrama tbh. Packs goal threat. Think cresswell is ok at lb tho
Gives the ball away a lot.
Gives the ball away a lot. Hate to say it as he’s been a stalwart for so long but what with the two red cards in Europe last year I think his time is nearing
Anyone got any info as to
Anyone got any info as to what happened Pacman ,strange not even on the bench .
Injured Burkie
Shoulder I believe, done it against Saints,could have done with him last night! Thinking about it today we did pretty well last night,certainly the better side in the 2nd half,that's not bad against a team that beat citeh last game & thrashed rangers 7-1 away the game before! So all in all plenty of positives & I feel moyes is getting near to the team we've been telling him to pick! ;)
I think Scamacca was looking
I think Scamacca was looking for Paqueta’s passing. It was all down to Declan and as good as he is driving forward he’s more of a side to side passer.
