Match Threads West Ham Vs Spurs

[spurs mental]

Rotated the entire team to lose both games 1-0. Fucking hell.

And people said it made sense to do so.

 

[Albertbarich]

I hate this team. They always let us down when it matters, they show zero urgency and passion and are boring as bell to watch.

Wrong manager and too many players who whilst talented clearly need a fresh start.

 

[Dennism]

It was all about the centre forwards. Antonio ran his heart out. Kane is an utter disgrace. The media paint him as a professional but he is actually a sulking spoilt child. He obviously didn’t give a monkeys in that game and stood there like a statue when Antonio scored. I am sick of him and his tantrums. Drop him until he gets a better attitude.

Romero to Dier, Dier to Romero, Romero to Hojberg, Hojberg to Skipp, Skipp to Dier, Dier to Romero, Romero long ball to Reggie

repeat

 

[easley91]

Why was Kane marking Antonio? He just stood there and watched Antonio prod the ball in..

 

[Nocando]

As much as everyone was bad bar a couple, Kane and Son were the worst out there. Lazy, giving up and missing some really easy passes. Im really disappointed how they both performed today.

It was only going to end up that way.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Nuno needed to have the balls today to take Kane off about 10 minutes into the 2nd half and put Son up front. Instead he has let him stroll around for 90 minutes and set the whole tempo for our terrible 2nd half performance

I’m sick of Kane being given a free ride all the time. You’d have hoped after his ‘strike’, he’d have lost some of his influence. But no, not at our club

 

[dondo]

This was all very predictable. What we thought before the game. I was very bored and it wasn’t a good watch from either side.

Actually you could perfectly see this was a match between Moyes and Nuno.

Jep this is where we’re currently at. This isn’t going to get like we all want in the end.

Levy has failed to read the room again.
I wasn’t expecting much this season but I think most of us at least thought we would get more attacking football

 

[VoteMe4Prez]

Frustrating watch second half. Nothing in the game. Hand brake football second half.

Do something. Throw a centre half up.
Take one of PEH or Skipp off.

Painful.

I was just screaming at my telly, just get bloody forward and play like we bloody should, but no, just a spineless 2nd half. I like Romero though, despite some his sloppy moments. Even he looked to get up the pitch ffs

 

[SE Spurs]

Thank fuck they didn't play Thursday, all that energy they wouldn't have had for today. FFS!

Not a shot second half, not one! Play in the final 3rd was horrendous, and looked totally clueless and lethargic. WH didn't even have to fucking play well. Shocking performance.

 

[sundanceyid10]

I think I'm done. I'll always love spurs but football just ain't that important anymore. I always hope we win the lot. It's a shame, it was a nice distraction on the weekend, but it ain't worth the emotions. All the best guys.

Th is what Levy is overseeing and I hope he understands how he is losing the fan base bit by bit.

 

[Mattspurs1982]

no surprise today with the way Nuno has us setup. Least we didnt play the 1st XI on Thursday. Zzzz

 

[stoddle]

Have time for Nuno. He's clearly a decent guy. But it isn't right. Players have gone from Poch to Maureen to Nuno. They can't rate him.
Surely there's an alternative? I accept that Moyes has made West Ham stronger but for them to be on a par with us is a joke given the strides we've tried to make with regards to the training facilities and the stadium.

This can't go on purely from a business perspective regardless of the performances on the pitch.

It's inevitable but I can't see him being with us much longer. What a waste of time, money and emotion.

 

[mpickard2087]

Also just as a general musing...... Said many times before in that scenario, but never get why us/teams, who are going to be forced to desperately lump it in the box in the last few mins, don't just pile on their big boys and put some actual presence in the box. Yes it's desperate. Yes it's basic. Yes it looks and is embarrassing to resort to it. But if you're going to have to do it then do it logically.

No point there bringing on midgets like Lo Celso, Gil etc. Get those plethora of centre backs off the bench, get Dier and Romero forward (Romero eventually twigged it for the last kick of the game), you're going to have to hit the box. At least do it with logic and put some options in there who might cause some nuisance.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

No evidence of any coaching whatsoever. No evidence of any ideas or signs oflf progress. Complete apathy at that result tbh.

Nail on the head, when our attack does put a good move together it’s very clearly put together in the same manner that we have been doing for the last few years. Zero new ideas in attack, really feels like Nuno has brought nothing to the team.

 

[lunde1]

Thought Romero was great. No plan and not much effort going forward. Kane looks like he don’t care and should stay on the bench.

 

[thelak]

Poor but unsurprising

If we had Antonio instead of Kane our team would look so much better

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

This is a classic SC post - "Manager should be sacked" AND "Players aren't good enough!"


So, is this down to Nuno? Or the players? What should Nuno have done differently here? The players who started gave us our best chance at scoring - why make changes, just for the sake of making changes?

The reality is West Ham have a good squad, they played at home, and eked out a 1-0 victory. Shit happens.

No. This is entirely on Nuno. He sacrificed Thursday to prepare for this game. The players had absolutely no idea what to do when they got the ball. It was embarrassing.

 

[isaac94]

not sure i am a fan of the pierre skipp pivot, not a creative fibre between them

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Recruitment has been shocking over the last 3 years. Romero looks the only decent purchase.. Regi, Royal, Lo Celso, Ndombele, Hojbjerg, Rodon, Bergwijn and Gollini have weakened us not improved us.
