Well

That's different.

Paddy the Greek ,vulnerable

I've been calling for 3 at

I've been calling for 3 at the back for ages. However, I don't see that system with 2 holding midfielders. Never have done!!

Away from home

Against a seventh place team, seemingly on a roll?

Wingbacks?

Emerson is going to get roasted and how on earth Pacman starts really is beyond me....

Ironic that this team is

Ironic that this team is crying out for Soucek! Maybe that's how pacqueta starts? If he persists with 3 at the back, which I think is the way forward. He'll regret letting JWP go!

Areola not on bench? Can't

Areola not on bench? Can't stand this 2 holding midfielders. Is Summerville being played as the striker?

BOWS UP FRONT ON HIS OWN

BOWS UP FRONT ON HIS OWN NEVER WORKS .

Best start to a game I've

Best start to a game I've seen. No doubt this is the way forward. Balanced side. Alvarez playing ahead of Rodriguez, it's working!

Some pretty passing so far

Some pretty passing so far but I don’t see where the threat is going to come from.

You can't play the second

You can't play the second best defence in the prem without a C F/ striker / target man .

We're playing well, the goal

We're playing well, the goal aside. Pacqueta is a passenger again. It's like playing with 10 men. Better though, need to regroup now. With the stoppage.

Summerville plays wide left Bowen wide right

But not for this manager and so we have no threat nobody to hit upfront so we look impotent real bad team management

Got to bring on Ant give

Got to bring on Ant give them something to think about

both CDMs on yellows

So what is Loppy got to do mmm? no shots no threat Pacman not doing a thing ...and fuck me Alvarez red card what bollox that is

Irving on for Rodriguez

Mav off flat back four and Ants has to come on to give us something to hit but Alvarez how many times eh

Self destruction yet again.

Self destruction yet again. So promising, same old story...

We don’t make it easy for

We don’t make it easy for ourselves. Alvarez should never have dived in. Somerville is not the same threat he was off the bench. Got to give Antonio 45 minutes.

Not same threat you are right

But he's being asked to play infield not out wide and nothing to hit in the middle ffs this Loppy does my head in

Summerville off

Ahhh well the missus can watch her show i've had enough

Hopefully the Manager will be

Hopefully the Manager will be off. His football is more boring than Moyes

Well he should be now. El

Well he should be now. El Tapas Twatas they are tearing us a new arsehole!

Being honest

The result isn't surprising me. Alvarezs red hasn't helped matters somewhat

What pisses me off is the

What pisses me off is the thought of Moyes sitting at home laughing his socks off .

just back from walking the dog

Surprised by the result no...starting line up with no threat inexcusable...to CDM's one you just no is always a red card waiting to happen the other just not got the quality for this league and the "creative" midfield maestro just not been at it at all main strikers injured so the beast has to go on but not picked WTF.
As much as i detested Moyes and his way of playing at least you new what he was doing this guy has not got a clue...different formations each week starting eleven changes yet keeps Pacman playing despite being fit for purpose right now.

Will he get sacked lol no chance we all know Sullivan he will not pull the trigger until our prem place is under threat...Guess what it is seen better West Ham sides relegated and that will happen if this Joke stays in charge.

typical

Álvarez, Paquetá, def not premier players not worth starting them esp paqueta this season has been a passenger and once again we lose for the lack of a centre forward why not buy 3 centre forwards and may be one of them will stay fit to play a game .Utter crap to day no togetherness oh well always next week

We tried the buy 3 strikers.

We tried the buy 3 strikers. Mido, Benni & someone else who I forgot. All shit.
We need to sack the manager. Get Jose in. He will sort the shit and steady it. There seems to be no plan or know how. It's painful. We can't continue like this.

This is nothing but awful

This is nothing but awful this season,but then whats new,i have seen nothing that inspires me any more than when Moyes was in charge.

Mental problems

We were in front for the first ten minutes we were good and Woods scored I knew he was going to score even had a bet on him so I f I I knew why didn’t Sloppy put 2 players on him so we were 1 goal down so wot keep fighting but unfortunately Alvarez got sent off the mental problems didn’t just stop at the coach f@£k nose what he said in the dressing room but wot ever it was it didn’t work and I am starting to wonder if the players are starting to doubt his tactics don’t think it’s all his fault because we would have been shouting leave him I weren’t there but he was as soon as he got sent off that was the end think we get mentally scared and wondering wha to expect against Everton and Arsenal so once we lose against Newcastle Sloppy is gone

Bikey I think we should start

Bikey I think we should start the Mourinho train up, I'd faaaackin love him. Even just for his media amusement!! Enfield is on board!! Honk honk..

As for Moyes sitting at home laughing his socks off. He's probably got JWP bringing him his cocoa...

Sums up our club at the moment

Embarrassing, shambles, lack luster, timid, lack of leadership, lack of pace, no structure, no shape and guaranteed capitulation

and thats

just for starters darford mate .....

LOL...

... You can add a few more descriptors!

On the subject of the manager, one of the West Ham bloggers suggested that during the dark days of Moyes the fan base was split typically around 50/50 on sack or keep. Sloppy seems to have galvanized the fans to nearly ALL wanting him gone!

Problem for Lopetegui really

Is that very few, if any of us, wanted him in the first place. Given the title of Spanish Moyes before even a ball had been kicked had sort of set the mood and in my opinion I sort of get the feeling that many fans are in glee at seeing the team struggle to be proven right.
There was a lot of speculation as to who would have been Moyes successor and I doubt we will ever find out if they were close to the truth or just summer media lazy journalism.
I don't believe for one moment that the fan base was 50/50 on the Moyes stay or go argument, but it is certainly clear that the Moyes lovers are getting a bit vocal, if not on here, but certainly other West Ham forums. And that worries me because that pr*ck is still out of work and a worst case scenario would be that Moyes steps in again. There's not many available choices out there for free, maybe Potter which would be an even worse choice but I can't see Sullivan sacking Lopetegui withe the resulting paying up of contract AND buying out another choice who is under contract such as Franks or Howe. Orgers choice Gary O'Neil is having a fun time right now which goes to show even some of our choices aren't all that great
The only other freebie I see being bandied about is Edin Terzic, but what does he know about the Premier League?

50 / 50

You could be right, just depends on time in the season, closer to the end of last season a lot wanted Moyes gone.

I cant see him returning. He's thick skinned enough to consider it but even Sullivan isnt that stupid... Is he?

Lopetegui

I feel the way it's going with Lopi that we are going around in a circle as a club more backwards than forward than the club wanted to go.I feel Lopi was a pure sullivan choice being free i feel Steinden wasn't his choice and now is staying clear of the s--t that will hit the fan.Sullivan will never admit he has got it wrong because he always goes for the cheaper deal and uses salthouse to much you now have the oldest squad in the premier league buying fulkreg hasn't helped i'm really surprised steinden getting such a ageing slow striker when there were so many younger ones.Most foreign players that haven't played in the premier before normally struggle at first but some make it but we seem to buy the ones that don't make it.Is it only me but can you really understand what lopi says it's all baffling so how do we expect the players to know what he wants at least get a manager in that speaks perfect english so don't bother with sarri.
