Just seen all the defenders race back in a line and no one looking to pick up the Chelsea’s forwards who are laying back waiting for the cross. Like wtf?

The ball cant score on its own ffs! Mark the fucking player. This is all a bit mental right now. 

[Tomshardware]

Wonder if Fullkrug has exploded at half time? 

 

 

Reckon he's gone full blitzkrieg.

[honky cat]

How on earth is anyone blaming this keeper for this car crash? Not a single thing he could have done about any of those goals.


 

 

 

 

 

Areola has previous experience of working with cunts. This poor fellow has been thrown straight the deep end. He's not to blame but probably shouldn't be playing yet. And now his confidence is shot.

AWB, who I said people have gone well OTT with, has been a fucking disgrace in this half, he's the main reason we are losing. The midfield, whilst clearly shit, are not the shittest thing about this team ffs, it is that defence, with that idiot right back thrown in. It will see us finish rock bottom.

 

It’s not that it’s his fault, more that really good keepers get things they have no right to get. That’s what makes them great keepers. This one just seems “almost there” all the time. Which is not what you want from a PL level keeper. 

 

 

Absolutely irrelevant to what's happened in this game. If we are going to defend like we have, why dig the keeper out for not making worldie saves? That plank Jaan has just got his cock out because he said he was going to be shit without seeing him play, blaming anything on him tonight is fucking pathetic.

[Texas Iron]

Potter has no fucking clue…

Wann-Bissaka at fault for 2 goals…

We are so slow all over the pitch…

Midfield outnumbered and outclassed…

Long season in Relegation territory ahead…

Blame Sullivan for Transfer pantomime…

Blame Potter for line up and tactics…

W T F…Wilson  Potts subbed on….? ? ?

Hahaha, You fucking din.

 

 

Look, we get in, you called him shit without seeing him play, and you're absolutely desperate to be proved right. None of the goals tonight have been his fault, stop being a plank.

The centre backs and the right back are the problem.

[Sir Alf]

How Soucek stays on beggars belief today and JWP

[Sir Alf]

Todibo was not as bad as some but I suppose sacrificed to get the 4 in midfield

[gpike]

Defo worth trying the keeper in midfield as he is good with his feet . Not so good with his arms

[Keep dreaming]

This is an admission isn't it.
5 at the back are for Barney, not West Ham 

And then we have the unbalance shown. NO left winger...

I think I’m starting to realise what Potter sees in Ward-Prowse

he’s got lovely eyes 

[goose]

Freddie Potts thrown to the wolves.

I hope Fullkrug nutted CPP when he subbed him.

[Sir Alf]

Agree with Eerie about the keeper on the whole. And AWB sufferung HOTY curse. 2 goals their attacker gets in front of him and he’s dreadful in the air on the first too as well as being outmuscled.

The biggest problem is still the central midfield. JWP, Soucek and Paqueta collectively not fast or athletic enough. They have been passengers for much of the game.

Hope Potts performs but he aint quick

[F 129 Row66]

On est vraiment merde, n'est-ce pas?

This is the worst West Ham team I have seen in all my 50 + years of supporting West Ham. I cant remember ether Grant or Roeders team playing so poorly and gutlessly..

[Massive Attack]

He's now hanging the poor lad out to dry 2nd half against this Chelsea Team 3-1 down. What a cսnt. As for Wheelchair Wilson.... 

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

[Massive Attack]

This is bad. So bad.

And I've never seen so many tourists here

 

 

Club killers mate. Breaks my heart what they've done both on and off the pitch.

[Pub Bigot]

We’re fucked aren’t we?

 

 

I’d say so. Other than the odd flash what can anyone see that shows a side that’s more than a side that will be battling for survival. Disjointed, slow, apparently a squad that’s disconnected, an uninterested board; we’re in decline. 

According to Karren Brady Sullivan has no intention of selling the club. I wonder what he gets out of owning something where he’s nearly universally despised. 

[Massive Attack]

He’ll probably bring Guido on at HT

 

 

You cսnt, I proper lolled at that.

[threesixty]

I think the basic issue for us is that the 3 CB’s don’t push up to support the midfield to progress the ball. You kind of need to create an overload in midfield so that every pass isn’t risking losing the ball. Without the extra defender moving forward it’s just a waste of possession. 

we could make the wing backs tuck in more to add that overload but Potter clearly doesn’t want that. He wants the width from
the wing backs.

i think it’s a really flawed and deliberate system. And i don’t think it matters who he puts in the midfield tbh. Could put prime Modrich and Iniesta and it would be the same issue. 

Let’s see how (if?)  he changes it in the second half..  but the only surprising thing for most of us is Paq hit one from range. Other than that this is exactly what we expected sadly.

Goals 2 & 3 are so poor from AWB & Todibo.
