West Ham Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

Big chance blew ,the spam out fought and out physicalled us ,poor from us didn't get going really
The only silver lining was the other teams fucking up.Onwards and upwards.

We were poor, but why did we have to play with a handicap??

I mean not being allowed to receive a free kick in the opponents half is going to be a little unfair.

So we're 1 point further away from the leaders than we were before we started. Not the end of the world.

We didn't get a minus point

Arsenal still have to visit West Ham , so lets hope they put as much effort into that one

Probably our biggest game in years and we were 'completely out managed and out played'..... by West Ham.

Why God?

Yeah, it's a tough pill to swallow. It was really just one of those nights.

We never looked dangerous going forward, I thought everyone in attack for us played poorly, and I think you have to contribute a lot of that to how West Ham set themselves up. It was like a page out of Big Sams playbook; crowd the midfield and limit passing lanes. It's especially annoying when you see the lack of talent West Ham had in midfield/defense. They executed perfectly and we looked nervy and bereft of ideas. We got overran in midfield when it mattered and they had the better of the chances.

I think we really need more out of Son moving forward. Some of his touches really harm us when we seem to be developing dangerous attacks. Love his directness, though.

should have known the fix was in with Gale's ridiculous commentary... it was spammer day from the original KO

Very disappointing night, especially considering who we against and that we could have gone top, but a sense of perspective-

We are still only 3 points off top.
We are 3 points clear of 3rd and most importantly 8 points clear of 5th.

This is still very much on and we have the big one Saturday COYS

In fairness and as much as I hate to say it, this Spammers side have had some good results against the bigger teams this season, so tonight's result was always a possibility.

Like you say though, perspective is now needed, so onwards and upwards.

We really struggled tonight. Felt like it meant more to West Ham. We couldn't deal with it tonight, or the pitch, and the refs seemed very keen to give anything their way.

Thankfully with the other results going our way, we're no worse off.

Hopefully it will give us a proper kick up the back side for Saturday and the rest of the season.

How can winning the PL mean less to any of those Spurs players than WH winning a derby game?

Fucks sake get real!

Kane is clearly lagging, Son has not looked up to the challenge so far (he's one for next season hopefully) and no one else looks capable of providing any real support to Kane in the loan striker role

It's pretty criminal that we didn't make something happen to increase our options up front in the window, at least a loan move for someone who could have come on in games like this and offered something when we had nothing (if for no other reason than to take the pressure off Harry and allow him some restbite)

He is, he's just not finding himself with the ball in the right positions recently, is unable to even have the chance to get a shot off. Son has been really disappointing for me, his ball retention can be bad and he doesn't look anywhere near the goal threat he looked to be before he got injured. He's looking a bit like how Lamela looked in his early days which is all energy on the ball and no real end product whilst being quite erratic.

I don't know why I thought we could take advantage of yesterday's result. So silly of me believing again.

Horrible result, but how much worse would it have been if Leicester, Arsenal, and Oil Money all won?

Yes we could say this was a missed opportunity, but all three of those clubs will be looking at the other results and be thinking the same thing.

If we're going to lose, might as well be in a round of fixtures where only one team in the top four gained a single point.

If you think about it most of us expected 1 point from this game...

So looking at this set of fixtures I had it down as:

Arsenal (Win)

Leciester (Win)

City (Draw)

Spurs (Draw)

-----------------

Actual:

Arsenal (Lose)

Leicester (Draw)

City (Lose)

Spurs (Lose)

-----------------

Arsenal especially have dropped one of their projected 3 points and ended up with 0, we have just had arguably one of our hardest remaining fixtures and only a point down from it on our expectations.

If we win the NLD this'll all be forgotten and potentially looked upon as a weekend where we were unknowingly benefited.

Sometimes it just doesn't click, not for a lack of trying or intent. This hasn't really happened so far this season so we can't be too disheartened., just it happened against them shits. At times we got dragged down to their level of scrapping for the ball in the sense that we'd just kick it rather than gain a bit of composure. Hopefully the players will respond in the way they have all season!

Our first big test?

So away at City was a piece of piss was it? 6 games won in a row was easy?

Come on it's one defeat.

Yes we were shit, and it's doubly disappointing as we could have gone top and of course it was West Ham.

But it's one game. Win on Saturday and we'll be back on track...and we've done that after every defeat this season.

Let's not get all Arsenal fan over this defeat. We're better than that and so is our team.

Yes it was our first big test. Prior to that no one was talking about us and although I am sure some of the players were thinking we were contenders it wasn't really clear. Today we knew if we won, we'd go top. Before today we knew we were contenders. So yes, we bottled our first big test. But as I said in another thread I am sure that there will be a few defeats for the title contenders between now and the end of the season.

I'm not so sure about that, Chelsea don't have much to play for in the league other then their own 'prestige'

Yes but how many games have Chelsea lost since Hiddink took over? We don't need Leicester to lose necessarily, just not to keep sneaking wins.

idontgetit · Mar 2, 2016

Given that it was going to be a war, not starting two experienced bleed for the club players in Walker and Rose was ridiculous. Lightweight midfield, lightweight fullbacks, we couldn't compete

When it seems like it can't get worse for Wenger, Cech pulls up injured in final seconds chasing back after going up for a corner

Pimp_Spur · Mar 2, 2016

well we were poor tonight but the saving grace is that arse lost (hahahaha) and city have lost too. Still if we can beat arse on saturday we go top on goal difference and that will pile on the pressure on leicester..........one thing is for sure, there will be plenty of swings and roundabouts till then end

Well that was shit. Losing games happens, bad referees happen, but it's the performance that was really disappointing tonight. I've just gotten so used to us looking much better than that, even when we're having an off day.

Arsenal losing is something of a small consolation, as now should the worst happen on the weekend we'll still be above them. Shame to pass up the opportunity to at least close up on Leicester though, we needed them to drop points some time, it's just unfortunate that its happened to be the moment when we did too.

We just can't lose by 6. Silver linings!
