[COOL HAND LUKE]

The BBC 'THREAT STATS' are embarrassing  - we have barely registered at all this half. 

"We've a good team spirit" = We all lose together.

[Any Old Iron]

We’ve got no pace, no penetration. Potter is a dullard and has turned the team into his self image. You’ll get nothing in this league playing mind numbingly dull football such as this. 
This is just showing what a disastrous summer we’ve had. 

[southbankbornnbred]

Ward-Prowse and Rodriguez are Championship-level  players.

No way they can start together in the top division.

[boleyn8420]

As I predicted, Potter chooses wrong line up to start with. No pace, no press, no intensity, no idea. Relegation season.

[Hermit Road]

Welcome to the new West Ham, same as the old one.

[Mike Oxsaw]

Just chill! 37 more games to go. 17th place is still very achievable. Sullivan's business plan is well on track.

[Lee Trundle]

I'd be surprised if we're not out of the relegation zone all season.

[wils]

This is the same shite as last season now. Going to be a long season. 

[nychammer]

Put a fucking shift in you CUNTS

[Keep dreaming]

I would put our whole midfield on fucking gardening leave, and that includes Paqueta.

We are exactly where we were a year ago.

Thanks Sullivan

[southbankbornnbred]

We are fucking terrible. This particular team, playing this way, isn’t going to make a dent on Premier League sides.

[Nick QQQ2]

The most predictable performance.  Slow, sideways, backwards - not really a surprise with 8 of the 11 players on the pitch who are defensive.  Potter is more negative than Moyes.  

[Helmut Shown]

Is it too late to get a bet on for relegation? What a fucking awful display of gutless backpassing shite

[onsideman]

Struggling to understand why Wan Bissaka and Paqueta are the only players Ballard had to beat to that header 

[Nurse Ratched]

What the fuck are chelsea going to do to us?

I recommend lube.

[Nurse Ratched]

Oh.

[Mad Dog]

What the fuck are chelsea going to do to us?

[claypole]

What a relief the charges against Paqueta were dropped as he looks like a new player, playing without the weight and pressure on his shoulders
 

[Far Cough UKunt]

Fuck off Pansy Potter

[Splodder]

What a pile of turd.

[nychammer]

2-0 Game over. We haven't come out or bothered to show up at all this half. Just Disgraceful all around.

A Long hard season of struggle beckons based on this, 

[Any Old Iron]

Fuck off you fat cսnt Wilson. 
Big Tom to save us - ha, ha

fucking hell Potter. This is atrocious

[Keep dreaming]

Nice sloppy pass from Paq. We are going from shit to shambles 

[southbankbornnbred]

Kilman asleep again. Just drifted off and let his man grab 5 yards of space in the box.

Such a poor player for £40m.

He needs to improve, massively, this season. And that’s not a good start.

That was Aguerd, wasn't it?

 

 

I think he peeled off Kilmam and beat Aguerd to the ball. But Aguerd had further to move, because Kilman was initially stood next to him. He should go with him, when the ball’s coming into the box. You can’t let him wander off.

[wils]

Wilson and Soucek coming on. Can barely contain my excitement.

Wilson will score for them.
