Bilic's use of subs?
|
|
Shocking again today, on top and looking like we may get a win and he takes both forwards off and leaves no one up top.

Masuaka wasb an enforced substitution I believe. Unfortunate since he was one of our best players before being replaced by the out-of-form Cresswell
The left side of our defence immediately looked very vulnerable
Ayew didn't do much though he had a couple of goal attempts. Swamping him for Noble was simply bizarre. We were never going to score after that change. In fact, we looked far more likely to concede as it put Stoke on the front foot, as they were never going to be threatened by Noble's 30 yard backpasses
A ridiculous substitution which nearly lost us the game
Snodgrass for Calleri almost equally stupid
Taking off our only striker for an aged winger
Even if Calleri was never going to score at least he was holding the ball up quite well & closing down, giving their big CH a hard time
All 3 substitutions made us considerably weaker
We won't get away with this sort of shit against the spuds

master, I do not think either were really worth keeping on.
But agreed should have brought Fletcher on, can only think Bilic saw nothing in any of them and after many recent late goals, bottled it! At the end of the day our forwards are crap at the moment...

Chester, apart from 2 attemps on goal, what did Ayew do?
Calleri was busy closing defenders down, holding up balls, making passes, nice 1-2 with kouyate, some nice crosses and cut the ball back into the area.
I remember plenty of plays he made, but nothing about Ayew.
Remind me.

Whichever played better than the other, does anyone see sense in taking both off leaving us with nothing up top?

Ayew played far better than Calleri yesterday.

I 100% agree with Surface, Calleri was much more lively than Ayew, who really did almost nothing.
But in the 2 chances Ayew had, he looked 100% more likely to score than Calleri.
Calleri got in some great positions and had very simple chances to score. The conclusion has to be that he is shit and cannot score in an open goal. May be he needs more time to settle, but I do not think so.
i can understand Bilic wanting to be sure withmatch play he is not good enough before he agrees to not sign him and I am sure Bilic is coming to that conclusion as well.

'Can anyone disagree that Ayew was more lively than Callieri?'
Yes. Callieri was at least trying, even if he is dog-shit.
You must have been watching a different game mate. Ayew weren't all that but he carried twice the thread Callieri did.
He is REALLY bad, Mido bad, that's how bad he is.

I was there yesterday and was fucking fuming with the subs.
We were well on top and I really thought we were going to score.
It was possibly the most baffling sub bringing Noble on for Ayew I have ever seen. I'm not even sure big Sam would have been this negative.
Christ, we were playing Stoke who were shit!
Bilic out now for me i'm afraid.

Thanks @WestHamUtd fans for your support! Have a safe trip back home! A slight injury forced me out today. I'm ok and ready for next week!

It was not like we ended with no goal threat.
You are joking, right?! We were all over them, in those circumstances you do NOT take the pressure off. If we were 2-0 up, fair enough.
The fact remains that HIS substitutions yet AGAIN put us under unnecessary pressure, for all we know we might have won the game? Callieri off for Fletcher. Can anyone disagree that Ayew was more lively than Callieri?
Plus Arthur off? Possibly our best player??
There are two possible reasons, one is that Bilic wants out and is deliberately doing this or two is that he is an utterly arrogant, stubborn, clueless moron who can't see what EVERYONE can else see and deserves to be sacked immediately.
The bloke started Fernandes as RIGHT WiNG BACK ffs!! When he has an ever improving, fit Byram on the fucking bench?!
We used to be the academy of football remember? Kids would sign for us because they would get their chance. A 16 year old would have a better chance of making the Chelsea 1st team than ours right now. How much more of this shit do we need to put up with?

I agree Alfs
Add to that, that forwards on the field and bench are not better probable worse than the midfielders (on the pitch) at scoring.
It was not like we ended with no goal threat.
But very disappointed Flecture did not come on.

Though disappointed with the subs, to me it was obvious why he made them. Close the game down, get the point and kick relegaton into touch.
Slav did a similar thing mid way through last season when again, the squad was dilapidated because of injuries, yet he ground out the odd point here and there.
Not exciting to watch, I agree, but good management.

Worst substitutions for a long time? I've got a one word reply to that:
TOTTENHAM! The ultimate humiliation.
Can't wait until the clueless zombie twat hobbles off somewhere else, preferably with most of the players he likes to fellate.

Worst substitutions for a long time, simply made no sense at all in a period where we were all over them.
Defensive midfielder for our only striker and then a winger for the only fella who looks like scoring with the other goalscorers injured.
Enough's enough with noble anyway, nordveidt is a better player and will show it with a run of games.

I like Slav, but today has made me lean towards the Slav out camp.
We were on the front foot looked like being winners then totally gave all the momentum away.
Calleri's finishing was awful but he made some great runs and gave us an out ball, so having taken Ayew off (which was madness) had to leave Calleri on or at least replace with Fletcher.
What was the point of Noble or Snodgrass coming on, it's like he decided a point was enough for survival, but by doing so putt hat point in jeopardy

The look on Ayew's face when he was subbed for Noble said it all for me.
Just about score, with all the momentum and he makes the most defensive sub that was possible.

Ridiculous today to take all our strikers off.
Aye we was fuming when he came off before Callari, now he knows how Sakho feels. Callari is fucking hopeless, clueless with the ball, never sure how to connect with a ball, he had 2 good chances today and fucked them both.
Could have done with Enner Valencia to day if he's good enough for Ronald Koeman he's good enough for us!
Why does Billic keep falling out with our players?
