West Ham vs Portsmouth Line-ups

Should have stuck Diouf or Earthy out left. Pablo is total crap

I was wondering this morning if Orford could bag the left sided slot and spank my arse and call me Mable he has. Brilliant, now he can show what he's about. Alvarez and Kante, proper midfield units. COYI

Kante further forward we can but hope

We are going to be a hard watch again this season...sitting back at home letting the opposition have the ball and settle in i'll say it now Nuno has to go nothing has changed...two or three new players will not make any difference playing this way.

27 minutes gone and haven't heard pablos name

look at that push forward and we score a lovely goal

shows his class....funny that all happens by going forward.......still i am sure Nuno will now want to defend the lead

Don't panic Mr Mainwaring, our quality will come through. Slow and steady wins the race. Pablo, just needs a goal and his confidence will be there.

This level of football demands different things, I think we've just taken time to adjust..

But Nuno needs to get it in his head that there are only 3/4 sides that may prove to be a challenge to us this season but that is only if we play on the front foot and boss the games..Pompey are bang average and when we started to play the game faster and not sit back look what happened.....Do i have faith Nuno can play like that? no none at all...

I'm really not worried, the first 30 mins was tough to watch. But we've had to adjust. Nuno cannot afford to bring his PL tactics to this level. I think we will boss the 2nd half now. I would expect us to. We can score more goals here, we have superior quality.

COYI cup half full peeps not empty!!

we keep him he is looking at 20 goals easy this season...amazing what happens when you go forward

Is back!

We have so much superior quality it's unreal in this division. More goals coming COYI..

Adams...talk about chip on his shoulder

Unbelievable Jeff, I thought exactly the same!

that twat got bookedd

Job done, onto Burnley COYI..

Did not really get out of first gear let alone second gear.....upped the tempo they simply could not cope...3 quick goals then really just not pushing on to much......Pablo had two shots both on target both saved by the GK burkie..was he brilliant? no but then not many were or really needed to be...and Kilmans a bonus at this level..other than that lets see what happens when it really starts next weekend

Boogers is right,once we settled we were the stronger team and it will show as we move on,i was concerned about the first 25mins though.

Gutted. Had 3-1 win Hammers & Taty to score first.
The game was a hard watch for long periods. Life would be so much easier playing on the front foot.
