[Mex Martillo]

It wasn't a inspiring thought, but why didn't Lopetegui keep it similar to the ManU game? More and more defensive orientated players doesn't make sense, does it.

[Swiss.]

I wonder who will get themselves sent off next week? 

[pdcwhu]

We will have a good xmas

[Fauxstralian]

To be honest should have lost each of the last 3 games by 3 clear goals 
At least
Another new formation, another different team. Same old weaknesses
No striker & after moving JWP & Downes out have managed to make the midfield worse which is some going
No pace, no evidence of motivation or basic plan
Contrast to Forest who were laughed out when they bought so many players but have settled their squad & team into a coherent effective unit. 
 

[gpike]

They are clearly not buying into the managers tactics, which change every game. 39 year old keeper and no striker. Still Sullivan is the main culprit as he appoints the manager and the head of player purchases which are looking pretty bad at the moment

[RM10]

Pile of shit, can’t pass shoot tackle and an incompetent manager

[Massive Attack]

Shocking performance from everyone, in particular Alvarez, Rodriguez and Lopetegui. A wasted opportunity to make a good fist of it today and chucked it away with yet another needless formation change. 

As for continously overlooking Ings, what the fuck is that all about, that dates back to when Moyes rarely played him as well? Is it one of those costly contract clauses that means Sullivan has to cough up money he doesn't want to let go of? Because it simply doesn't make any sense to keep ignoring him even when he does score or contribute like in the last game as a Sub. 

Lopetegui can't have any complaints with fans giving him stick as he's deserved a lot of it.

 

[RBshorty]

Fuck all will change while Sullivan has the final say. Regardless who the Coach/Manager is. It’s gone beyond whoever the clown is on the sideline.!

[Sir Alf]

With 10 ypu have to be sensible in the Premiership and go deeper, compact and play on the counter.  Until we can get some differemt midfield recuits with some legs / pace and a different coach by the looks of things.

we look like a bunch of “dandies”  on the beach, with smoking jackets on and a gin and tonic in hand. No fight for this manager but also seriously exposed by tactics that rely on pace in midfield and up front. Its like watching a coach commiting suicide by self mutilation. 

Serious issues at West Ham that are not going away.  Only Wan Bassaka and Fabianski and perhaps Kilman get any credit.  

sad times ( yet again ) for the umpteenth time in my life time

[Manuel]

We have the worst midfield in the league - all carthorses. That won't change under another manager.

[northbankboy68]

Can we avoid relegation on 11 points?

[Coffee one sugar]

Very, very, very disappointing.

[Pshyco scored all 4]

He is keep dreaming. Explains it all . 

[WHUDeano]

We don’t look coached. Players don’t know where they are meant to be, they aren’t putting in any effort, corners/throw ins no movement, no plan. It’s a team of individuals, who have no idea or faith in what the manager is doing. 

In all my years of watching West Ham, he is the worst I’ve ever seen. Even in comparison to Glenn Roeder & Avram Grant. I’ve never seen a more talented team so clueless, disorganised, mismanaged, unmotivated and generally fucking awful. 

[nychammer]

well back to 3. We (VAR) pulled one back!!!

[Sir Alf]

VAR MOTM again

[Sir Alf]

VAR corrects its error from last week

0-4
 

[nychammer]

4-0 this will count. Embarrassing even with 10.

Exactly. And I keep saying: Loppy isn't on the pitch... we have no leaders or motivators out there.

These fkrs get paid a fortune, you should expect they can motivate themselves to make a proper fist of it.




                         

 

 

I honestly think that by rolling out the "they get paid a fortune so should be better" trope  you are underestimating just how poor this manager is.

[zico]

Turned it off, feel for the poor souls who went up there.  If you are going to dump the likes of Ward-Prowse and not give Downes a chance then you have to bring in better quality.  Rodriguez offers nothing going forward or defensively, Alvarez is a liability, Paqueta not bothered, Soler clearly needs a team on the front foot, all of them painfully slow.  Not judging Todibo and Kilman considering the lack of what's in front of them and Summerville looks promising but only one who looks a really good signing is AWB bit he isn't a wing back.

[Come On You Irons]

They ain't playing for him . It's every bit as blatant as it was under roeder in 02/03 . Had an utter cսnt of a chairman then as well.

 

 

Spot on. It is blatently obvious the players don't respect or rate him. The geezer can hardly speak English and selects bizarre teams and tactics.

Relegation battle ahead.

[Sir Alf]

Team has totally given up

cant get near them and couldnt even with 11

We need a change of tactics and set up to just get solid. Back to the low block is the best bet to stop the bleeding

look at thay from Paqueta showboating 0-3 diown. Slow, no fight. They dont believe in this system or manager.

Everton will beat us too

[Keep dreaming]

They ain't playing for him . It's every bit as blatant as it was under roeder in 02/03 . Had an utter cսnt of a chairman then as well.

 

 

 

 

Isn't that cսnt of a chairman a part of our board?

[nychammer]

we just need this to end. 

MOM Fabianski for restricting them to only 3
