Not sure I'd bring Todibo straight back in.

.........................Hermanson

AWB.....Mavropanos.....Disasi.....Diouf

Bowen.....Fernandes.....Soucek.....Summerville

..........................Taty Costalot

..............................Wilson

[Fauxstralian]

They pass and keep the ball better than us
Which is embarrassing as they play in a 20,000 stadium and have a fraction of the resources
Need to find a win from somewhere 
Summerville looks the most likely 

Another inconsistent Northern ref crucifying us
Again

[stubbo-admin]

Bournemouth like a budget Arsenal here. Time wasting and niggly from the get go, totally designed to stop any kind of rhythm. They're a difficult opponent.

[twoleftfeet]

Are we losing? The posts would suggest we are.

Nuno out if true.

** checks score, imagine my surprise **

[Keep dreaming]

Playing Soucek is like just surrendering the midfield.
Can't run, can't pass cant tackle.

 

on the other hand can defend, can score goals. He's become a bit of a fixture again but it seems to work with Fernandes in there 

 

 

Work with Fernandes in there? In what way?
Fernandes and Magassa is the ones running and closing down. You guys are far to kind to his contribution. Take the specs off and see what he does. It's easy, absolutely nothing 

[Mad Ferret]

Wilson had to start this one.

[Hermit Road]

We started to look really threatening with two up front even when one of them was shit because they occupied defenders and created space for the two wingers to cause damage. So naturally for West Ham we have a manager who has decided to ditch something that has been effective and made us look like a team who could beat anyone, and revert to the tactic that got us into a relegation mess.

Dont totally agree. We've had the better and good chances so far this game. And it was a very specific two up front not just any two. We don't have an adequate replacement who offers what the guy who is out did.

 

 

Matter of opinion I suppose but IMO we definitely haven't looked as threatening as we did in the last few games. If be happy with any other forward there instead of Magassa mainly because of the opportunity it creates for Bowen and Summerville and their ability to take advantage of it. 

I think he's reverted to defensive type and that hasn't served us well for years.

Look very nervous. Slow and ponderous, shows we miss Pablo and his energy in that area. As Tomas is on a yellow maybe stick Taty behind and bring Wilson on.

BORRRRIIIINNNNG!!!!

Struggling to keep awake

[Keep dreaming]

Playing Soucek is like just surrendering the midfield.
Can't run, can't pass cant tackle.

And yet he's been a key part of our team in recent games and has been excellent in a two man midfield with Fernandes.

Yep, say a lot about the other players. He is fucking gash

[Keep dreaming]

Lovely skills from Summerville. Just think what we would look like with a no10 like that 

[ragingbull]

Missing too many chances

they've not troubled us at all SO FAR but we need to land a punch whilst we re relatively on top

[stubbo-admin]

How many fouls do Bournemouth have to commit before they get a yellow?

[claypole]

Was Scott called in to the England squad for his diving and rolling around?

[stubbo-admin]

soucek has to be careful now. Might hook him a HT

Think he's an intelligent enough player to walk the tight rope.

Feel this is a game we're missing Pablo's pressure quite badly in.

[stubbo-admin]

Got a bit of an irrational hatred of these cunts too....divey, niggly, cheaty little vibe they've got going on (add time wasting to that too).

[Mike Oxsaw]

We're gonna rue not putting away at least one of the chances we've had so ar.

[stubbo-admin]

Ref is 100% a cսnt. Two corners for us he's given as goal kicks so far.
