Match Threads West Ham Vs Spurs

[Nebby]

I believe Lo Celso was way more suited to the deep role Moura was playing to today

Fuck no. He has a reputation built entirely on performances for Argentina and not playing for Spurs. Drop fucking Kane and play with Son, Lucas and Stevie. But that won’t happen.

 

[alexis]

Kane isn’t bothered. Very stupid young man because he will never get a move like that. Play like he has this season and nobody will want him, including us. The way to get a move was shown by Luca Modric, raise your game and the best clubs will come in. He is totally unprofessional and acts like a child.

Maybe he’s just trying to show he’s a 100 m player not 150

It's just depressing right now

We need Nate the Great.

Never buy into the ridiculous hype that Moyes' West Ham are a great side; if anything they are a diligent and very average side we should beat at home and at the very least get a point at their place.

A pathetic performance today.

I thought they were poor. They just let us have the ball because they knew we’d do nothing with it. They were hardly a team out to win a football match. Both teams very poor.

If anybody needed anymore evidence that this season is going to be the dullest and most disappointing for as long as I can remember today is the day,this manager just doesn't inspire anything,not all his fault as the recruitment has been awful but when you look at the bench there was not 1 player who you thought could turn it round for us.
To think we had Bale last season (grossly wasted by Mourinho) and now we're still stuck with the likes of Moura,I could cry ffs.

The game cant go ether way if its 0.0 at ht and you dont have a shot in the 2nd half.

Okay it was all West Ham they should have won by 6 or 7. ?

 

[chrissivad]

I personally think everyone is overreacting.
we were pretty comfortable away against West Ham. Conceded a rubbish goal, yes we didn’t do well in attack second half but West Ham barely created anything snd sat back at home.
moyes wasn’t trying to make subs at 0-0 either.
Nuno isn’t the man for the job but the reaction here over a tight 1-0 loss away is over the top

This isn't just about today's result, it's about previous results as well

If you watch the game today, could you tell what our game plan was?

Or in most of our other games?

 

[Pochemon94]

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.

I get that, they eked out a 1-0 win but I just look at how we have played and it's hard to watch, we don't create anything. Kane looks insanely uninterested, IDK what Nuno should do as he is fucked because we don't have the funds to truly overhaul the squad that has needed to be overhauled over the last 3 years but he should at least be getting the players to fight especially in a derby. we are 0-4 in the derbies and have looked atrocious in all of em.

Why is the players not taking a risk on him entirely? If the players can't be bothered (and has been the case for 3 managers now) then it's a squad issue. Nuno is out of his depth, but these players really need to start taking responsibility. If it isn't working then while on the pitch the leaders take control and do something different. This lot don't do that.

Don’t think the players respect him - they turn up and “play” without heart/fight knowing they won’t be reprimanded and will be picked in the first 11 again. The coaching is clearly not good enough. The rot at the club is at the core and until Enic/Levy sell, we won’t be challenging for anything anytime soon.

 

[bsinghd]

What the fuck do the Spurs coaching staff do during the week, our players kept under or over hitting passes in attacking areas. Too many greedy players too, we had chances to score but players took on shots when it was better to pass to a team mate. We have no intensity at all and it’s affecting how we play, non-existent pressing and passes slower than a sloth on weed! This is going to be a long miserable and tough season, because of deficiencies at manager and player level

 

[Crow]

Another thing - I've never seen so many gestures among team mates, telling each other where they should be or where they were expected to be to receive a pass.

 

[ShelfWatcher]

I won’t. He was brought in to improve the squad and he’s left us with one striker who doesn’t want to be here and no Eriksen replacement. We’ve replaced Vinicius, Bale and Lamela with an unproven Spanish kid. Our squad is a mess and he’s the one to blame for it.

Agreed the window has left us short again
Why do we keep buying wide players who are prospects
Should have bought a back up striker and Tomiyasu as well as the others

 

[Dennism]

And at this point would rather have Winks in the side instead of Kane. Agree with fresh ideas, but never going to attract/secure that kind of manager the farcical way we appointed Nuno....

I think my dog would play better than Kane today. We need to bide our time and get the correct manager. No point in blundering around in chaos like last time. Feel sympathy for Nuno in that I don’t think any manager in the world would make Kane put in any effort for us.

It's just depressing right now

I'll just wait around for the takeover!

 

[DannyNZ]

Gil aside, our bench is shite.

What does it matter if you don’t use them.

 

[Godensta]

Arguably our two most talented players don't want to be there, Son badly out of form, and the rest wouldn't get a game in any of the top 3 teams. And the manager ... well!

Horrible dressing room at the moment

 

[Dennism]

Maybe he’s just trying to show he’s a 100 m player not 150

On this form nobody would pay that for him.

 

[wiggo24]

At the start of the season - the complaint was we were too negative, and sat too deep, conceding possession. Today, we spent most of the time in West Ham's end. We did not concede possession, we simply could not penetrate their defense. But, it was not because Nuno set up wrong - West Ham stayed organized, and the attacking players could not break it down.

It wasn't a tactical error that conceded the goal.

But why couldn't we break them down? Was it because our players are simply incapable of scoring a goal or was it because there is absolutely no coaching of on the ball patterns and scenarios taking place?

Everyone knows the playing squad needs a rebuild but fucking hell it doesn't mean they can't be coached a little. None of them have any idea or options on the ball. Lucas spent most of the game trying his hand as a centre mid...
