The other thing I thought was what if Robertson headed the ball the other way instead of ducking? Even though he would have been offside I still think instinctively the keeper has to think about what Robertson might do. I think that’s why “interfering with play” means exactly that. If you have to be...

If you have to duck in order for the ball to go into the net you are definitely interfering with play! I can’t believe that’s in debate.  The very fact that the keeper could not track the ball with his eyes all the way to the goal because an offside Robertson was in front of the ball at a crucial po...

I just think Soucek is too slow to be a box to box or defensive mid in the PL. Much more suited to be a forward/9 or attacking mid who just stays up field.   No Legs Soucek.. https://x.com/eurofootcom/status/1986106231920955822?s=20 https://x.com/goalsside/status/1987201042610856339?s=20 https://yo...

I just think Soucek is too slow to be a box to box or defensive mid in the PL. Much more suited to be a forward/9 or attacking mid who just stays up field. Especially as we are playing less counter attacking football these days I think it's kind of an ideal scenario for Soucek as pace is less of an ...

What's nice is the we are scoring enough goals to make teams really think about how they approach us. I think under Potter you just knew we'd offer next to nothing in terms of scoring opportunities. Now defenders will have decide how much they want to push up against us. Which hopefully alleviates t...

Golambekis???
Who's that?
 

The side is starting to pick itself. .........................Areola AWB.....Kilman...........Todibo.....Diouf Bowen.....Fernandes.....Magassa.....Summerville .........................Paqueta .........................Wilson Fancy us. 2-0.     Bit mad leaving Potts out. Is the theory that you want a...

Didn’t he only come to England because his Mrs was sick of something like that? I think the hard part of management is day to day dealing with people and their personal issues/ personalities. I think that’s hard for younger people without life experience. It’s not just about your ideas and strategie...

If you're looking at his fitness then yeah, poor signing. But if you're looking at the player, then you have one of the best strikers in the planet when he's fit (yeah, I know , WHEN he's fit but again that's a different issue). If you're Germany's first choice striker at 100% you're definitely not...

Is it worth binning him? I think the problem he has had here is the same as pretty much every conventional striker has had for decades at this club. We just haven’t had any managers who know how to use no.9’s properly. We’ve had so many who have been decent elsewhere but somehow fail at West Ham. Ch...

Will be interesting to see how Fullkrug is with a decent coach tbh. Chris Wood was a 1 in 3 striker before Forest. Was 1 in 2 after Nuno. 

I think Nuno is trying to boost his ego to get him to be more responsible. Paq’s problem is he has all the skill but doesn’t have the discipline to be one of the best in the world.  And that’s a shame really.  I feel Nuno is saying a 10 is a Maradona or a Messi, someone you don’t need to restrict be...

Listening to his press conference he seemed to say: I saw some shit things in the 1st 2 games. Thought about doing something radical to fix it head got turned in international break because I started seeing squad members I don’t normally think about at training so got carried away with how good they...

Ultimately the blame lies with Sullivan as he is the one who is in charge. But it is baffling why so many of our managers make crazy decisions that no one understands but them! Maybe as a fan we know after watching soucek and JWP in midfield for weeks on end that we have a slow un creative midfield....

We had a 4 year spell where our average finishing posion was 9th, we had 3 good runs in Europe, we won a cup and we finished above Everton every season. The next 2 seasons we're below Everton and heading towards relegation. Is there a common denominator?         “Average” is a powerful statistic th...

People are shocked about Nuno because it feels so out of character for Nuno. The last two games do not seem representative of the Nuno everyone has seen working in the PL for years now. So anyone who is saying “I knew how it would go” with Nuno is talking out of their arseholes. Nuno was a good choi...

The biggest mystery is what happened to Fearon? 
Probably the best performance I saw in preseason and hasn’t been seen or heard of since..  baffling! 

My feeling now with Nuno is that he thinks he’s got more time to work things out than we think he actually has.  I think he wants to play about with positions and then work out what he needs for the Jan window.  A lot of the formations he’s tried sound like someone who’s playing with theory and not ...

https://youtu.be/q5b1Egk26KI?si=y7s4pwCMLCYS2E1T Tony Cascarino agrees with me haha!  the midfield general is our biggest issue. We saw the difference putting Mengasa and Fernandes in midfield made. You need monsters in that position. You can’t have teams just running through you like they’re never ...

Feels like Nuno is doing all this shit for non footballing reasons. I don’t know what shit hes trying to prove but it’s massively backfiring because the players he’s dropping have to come on to clean up his shit selection in the first place. I dont know what about the international break fucked his ...

The fouls they are getting away with…. This is insane!

Looks like it came off the Leeds guy, not us… ffs!

The work rate in this team ffs.. They don’t tackle. It’s so fucking soft! I think anyone can look good in training if all your team are shit anyway. No wonder managers are baffled when they actually have a fucking real game, First time I’ve thought we really are going down. Never really believed it ...

I’m baffled by this guy, Just baffled, 
This is an experienced manager ffs. It all looks so so bad. 2 games he was normal. Now this shit?
what happened?
