West Ham Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[dagraham]

Very good game from Aurier so far.

He's done a lot of good things, but got away with a fair bit.

Personally, I think it makes far more sense having Sanchez as the closest defender too him as he can close the space left in behind quicker than Toby.

I feel like we give some sides too much respect. Couple of times when we up the pace and open up, they cannot live with it.

This broadcast is absolutely geared towards West Ham. Why so biased? Aurier has made a world class tackle and been a threat gong forward...Jamie Redknapp just called him a real liability!

Hopefully there will be a few gaps now for us to exploit

Yeah that was really, really harsh from Redknapp, but lets be honest - Aurier has put in a few quality bits of last bit last ditch defending, but they're as a result of making up for his positional play which has been a bit haywire. Arnautovic has been getting in behind him in positions where he doesn't have the excuse of having been stranded up pitch after an attack broke down.

 

[Pellshek]

He hasn't been perfect, but I continue to be stunned at how seamlessly Sanchez has slipped into the team. He only turned 21 in June! At that age, clear signs of a major emerging talent.

Looks like they don't like Aurier

Great half, weathered the storm and popped their bubbles.

Sissoko and Aurier have a chemistry

Alli tenacious D

Eriksen that touch though

Verts complete footballer

Kane

Aurier making the runs forward for Sissoko to play him in with simple balls, rather than the latter running up the usual blind alleys. Sissoko should have kept more of an eye on tracking Arnautovic, because otherwise he hasn't been involved in doing much running.

Great to see dele smiling again when we scored

He was also chuffed when he saw Harry get on the end of his excellent cross.

 

[nedley]

Sissoko MOTM so far by a country mile

What game you watching.

Have you seen Verts in this game?

 

[Phomesy]

Antonio's injury something of a turning point.

Not least because it brought on Carrol who gifted us our first goal. Coach killer

 

[Donki]

Pardew and Redknapp are disgraceful pundits

Redknapp? Is he a pundit today? Oh so that's the guy with his head stuck up Teddy's arse? He's an embarrassment.

Would like to see the shirt pulling from another angle as I’d be very surprised if Arnautovic wasn’t pulling Aurier’s shirt too.

It was minimal, if we are awarded pen for that we would have won the lottery.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

To be fair Alli has 2 assists.

Love Dele - but he needs to find more consistency.

 

[HildoSpur]

I love the way we are so bloody ruthless in front of goal.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Good half. 4-0 incoming. What’s with all the bald West Ham fans? Is there some kind of correlation between male pattern baldness and West Ham fandom?

Got nothing to do with male pattern, more a case of when you decid to support West Ham your hair falls off as does your Johnson, essentially your choosing to live life as a single braincelled unuich. That's why they get so excited buy looking at bubbles.

 

[ardiles&villa]

Sissoko has been decent, not up to standard quite just yet but looking promising. Verts on the other hand

 

[KILLA_SIN]

Love Dele - but he needs to find more consistency.

It will come with time, so young yet

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

I'm loving this!

 

[thinktank]

Looks like they don't like Aurier

Who gives a fuck. Bet they'd love him up if he was playing for they side being awesome. Mugs.

 

[antti19]

Aurier better version of Walker?

 

[Danners9]

Never in a million years should there have been any penalties. My coverage praised the defending and didn't even question it.

 

[L-man]

Needs to be at least 4-0 to feel comfortable

What'd I tell you pre-match boy? I won't tell you again
