Theres to much apathy amongst
Theres to much apathy amongst the fans bike, and also diversion ,you've only got to look at some of the comments on here after the match ,in my opinion we will never get anywhere when we cant, or won't stamp our authority on a game ,we deserve someone younger ,hungrier ,that knows tellent when it looks him in the face ,not someone who takes off two of our best players and sends on 2 jack asses ,someone who wants to win stuff and who's not prepared to settle for anything less ,today opened my eyes ,i was ,with the right result prepared to give him a chance ,but the same old same old has conviced me hes not prepaired to gamble ,he'll settle for safety every time .
Great posts fellas
I agree it wasn't Bennys best game but I still wouldn't have taken him off as for pac that was infuriating as you mention.We were great yesterday,battling for every ball & attacking in numbers...Emerson has been a big plus & moyes has got that right.But like you say even in the ascendancy he always reverts to safety,hence the apathy amongst us imo
Thing is 65
You know and all West Ham fans no Moyes is a safety first manager and he cannot help himself he needs to shut up shop from the first minute to the last...looking ahead to the chelski game Moyes needs to look at how Fulham played them and new manager bounce or not how Everton got at the gooners.....if you sit off teams with players like chelski have they will toy with you and win easy...like it or not Moyes next weekend we have to be in Chelski faces from the kickoff to the final whistle and not defend so deep the inevitable happens.
yes agree burkie
but we must remember in his first stint with us settling for safety first kept us up and we are in a similar position now unfortunately and now Everton have Dyche who is out there that we could get ?

i bloody hope not

With a fit zouma instead of Kehrer I think we could of taken all 3 points
Just a couple of things gents
Their goal was mostly down to Oggy, love the man but he was to slow and Kehrer couldn’t catch up. Benrahma has to start looking around for someone in a better position instead of going gung-ho and kicking it into row h. I am starting to see why Moyes is never happy with him as he isn’t much of a team player. Also the sub of Paqueta had to happen because he was getting upset that Jollington was hanging on to him all the time and kicking the shit out of him and not one penalty. If he hadn’t come off I think he might have done something himself or worse got an injury. Rice, Aguerd, Emerson and Coufal were unbelievable and with a decent striker I think we could have won that game. Even Mickey had a good game but Bowan for all his running around was not very good today. If Scamacca is back or even Ings for Chelsea I would start Micky the striker and Bowan as a front three and bring Benny on in the second half replacing either Ant or Bowan whichever is having the worst game.
The way Antonio was wrestled
The way Antonio was wrestled in the build up to Newcastles goal, I'm surprised it was allowed myself. We all have our favourite players and formations and how we'd like to set the team up.That none of us would set it up how Moyes like to says quite a lot quite frankly. As for Oggie, I personally feel that he has steadied the defence quite a lot. Its a shame Zouma is injured because I can't see Kehrer being first choice any other way. He's not exactly setting the world on fire in my opinion.
