I think this could possibly apply to the rest of the season now..... Side of Ham 12:41 Sat Apr 13 Re: ‚ö? West Ham v Fulham - Official Match Thread I think the players could be pissed off with how they were asked to play in the week in a quarter final of a worthwhile European cup and then slagged off for failing to park the bus with or 33 shots. It‚Äôs what they‚Äôve worked towards and they wasn‚Äôt set up to even have a bit of a threat. This is a hard game to get back to winning ways‚Ķ..but we have a master a getting the troops ready don‚Äôt we?

[Massive Attack]

"That was only after he was asked to play out on the left wing to begin with. He's basically lost interest and enthusiasm for playing Moyes ways and is now coasting till he gets his move in summer. He's not completely blameless but I can definitely understand his frustration with how he and we are asked to play. His play has all the hallmarks of being unhappy and disinterested under this manager and has had enough, like many of the fans feel."

"twoleftfeet 1:11 Tue Apr 16 A new low, and thats saying something for WHO"

[Rossal]

Massive Attack 1:22 Tue Apr 16 Most of Paquetas shitshow of a performance on sunday was when he drifted into the central areas. Gave the ball away most in the central position around both boxes. Dives on the floor constantly. Doesn't posess much of a goal threat consistently. Lost count the amount of times around their box he attempted some shit impossible through ball and just gave the ball back to them As for the attitude he needs to start delivering more on the pitch before he acts likes he is above anyone else

[Lato]

As I see it only two ways to win this tie and both unlikely to happen. Play 3-4-3 albeit risky but ffs go for it we have nothing to lose Hope the Krauts are still pissed up from their Bundesliga celebrations.

[Nagel]

"""Cornet must have seriously pissed off Moyes to be getting this treatment!"" Yeah, you're not wrong. On Sunday he preferred to give a teenager his debut out of position rather than give Cornet some game time in his natural one, and we know Moyes don't like playing the youths if he can avoid it."

[ludo21]

Another Moyes defensive masterclass incoming... so a 0-3 loss! Moyes's primary aim will not to be embarrassed by an Arsenal like loss so unfortunately I can see a repeat of the turgid away performance and I can guarantee that Moyes would bite your hand off for a 0-1 now. Personally it would just be very nice to inflict their first loss of the season.

[BillyJenningsBoots]

Twolefttesticles so original such a funny guy.... and Daveyg Do you not think Paqueta might be fed up stuck out on the left even when we are more attacking and when we are not he's just fed up with Moyes's low block...

[Massive Attack]

"Davey ""Massive. Sorry but Paqueta has been poor for several weeks."" And why is that, Davey? Could it be due to the fact he's asked to continually play out of his best position out on the left wing by Moyes? Could it be because he's been taken off too early in games when finally enjoying expressing himself in full flow like against Freiburg visibly fucked off? Or maybe it could be having to constantly play in defensive negative anti-football tactics all season long disheartening him and neutering his natural ability to entertain with a smile on his face? I think we all know the answers to that lot."

[DukeofDevo]

"Nagel 12:13 Tue Apr 16 Moyes should have started Cornet on Sunday, instead he sticks Ings in the middle of a front 3 behind Antonio,with Paqueta on the left, bizarre! Cornet must have seriously pissed off Moyes to be getting this treatment!"

[daveyg]

"Massive. Sorry but Paqueta has been poor for several weeks. He does seem to be getting booked in every game he plays including for Brazil. He doesn't want to play under this system or us anymore. The only thing I like about him currently is that he would pass the ball to Earthy, ( or other youth )which he did twice. I doubt Soucek or JWP would/could,they would maybe try but it wouldn't reach him Don't you fucking dare call me a Moyes in. It would be true us playing them when pissed. Two pub teams together live on TV"

[Nagel]

"""Then give Cornet the chance to shine. He has the energy to bomb up and down unlike cresswell who would also be done by pace."" Agree with this. Cornet played most of the season at left back 3 years ago, so you'd think he'd be able to adjust to a wing back role easily enough. More likely that Moyes will play Cresswell or Johnson at LWB though, or both of them on the same flank if he plays a back 4."

"Going to predict what i did in the first game, a 3-0 to West Ham win, i was just a bit early last week *Coughs. Need a bit of luck, and a prayer or 2 but fuck it, we can do this.......COYI"

"It’s funny how apart from Paqueta we don’t have a single creative midfielder in the squad! Isn’t that absolutely mental? As much as you don’t want to keep players who don’t want to be here, he let go of 2 of them to get a crap CDM in. Just baffling. We probably don’t win without Paq not because he’s so special, rather we don’t have anyone to do anything creative anywhere on the pitch."

[Massive Attack]

Billy Jeeeeez This anti Paqueta vibe from the Moyes Intards is pathetic... Do they not recall who set up Bowen for the winner in that final they keep banging on about.. Yep. Sickening to hear some of our own fans turn on a genuine exciting top class player and yet lap everything up that Moyes does as a manager. I'd sooner be on the side of Paqueta than of Moyes who completely lucked out having to rely on his magic to win him his 1 and only ever meaningful Trophy. Better to be a lucky manager than a good one...

[Massive Attack]

"Can see us being the 1st team to finally beat them with either a Penalty or a set-piece but as the damage has already been done, can still see them going through by a 1 goal margin at best."

[GreenStreetPlayer]

"Fab Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Cresswell. Alvarez. Soucek, JWP Big Hole, then. Kudus, Antonio, Bowen."

[Huggie]

Assume we will be giving them a guard of honour. Can't wait.

"Jennings, someone from your village called me. Apparently they are missing their idiot so can you go back."

[CanningTownWA]

"I wouldn’t have Aguerd or Johnson near the team. Both were pathetic yesterday, Aguerd just let Paulina run past him to score yesterday, more his fault than Mav’s. Johnson did the same for the second goal just jogged along, no attempt to get back. Compare them with the way Palace’s defense tried to win every ball. It will be another loss to them Sunday if we play the same way. Fab Coufal Mav Zouma Cresswell Soucek Alvarez Ward Prowse Kudos Antonio Cornet"

O - 2. Hope I'm wrong g!

[Surfinglizard]

Very hard to see us turning this around. But hope burns eternal COYI!

"We have become a mess, key injuries, key bookings, no squad and a poor home crowd. Good luck Tim and new manager."
