West Ham Online

Had enough of this arogrant no mark now.  

11 games, 27% win ratio and 0.66 goals per game.

Either the break clause is true or this flake quits otherwise were proper fucked.

Yeah, he only made 1 successful challenge right at the end of the game.. Whoever was the stat man needs new glasses. 

According to official match statistics, Soucek made 1 successful tackle and 1 interception against Man Utd.

Do you think you might be choosing to see what you want to see?

Finally Soucek. The ultimate footballing conundrum as he looks so slow and struggles to kerp
pace in midfield in many games, almost anonymous. But he knows when to get in the box and get on the end of things. Its an art in itself.

Not been impressed with him at all but looks like we’re stuck with him, so might as well get behind him.

Hoping for a strong finish to the season to set us up for next, but doubt it’ll happen.

Strange game but great result. The Mancs are not a high intensity, pressing team especially in midfield and that allowed Rodruiguez to shoe he’s a decent footballer but in a slower league because we were playing at walking pace at times.

Almost as if Potter was saying to those being released by tue club that they get a game to show what they can still do for say a promoted club like Leeds or Burnley or some other team in Europe or even the Championship.  A “shop window” opportunity to soften the blow of being let go?   Well its hard to understand the starting selections otherwise?  

AWB MOTM for me by some distance, Areola was the other standout. Kilman looked better and we looked well organised and solid.  We also saw that we will need to replace Kudus if he goes as we expect.  Today he was decent evrn if bith he and Bowen get dispossessed too easily at times.

Finally Soucek. The ultimate footballing conundrum as he looks so slow and struggles to kerp
pace in midfield in many games, almost anonymous. But he knows when to get in the box and get on the end of things. Its an art in itself.  Today he was a lot better in general play because the game was slower and lacked the intensity that some teams play at.  Soucek was neat and tidy playing one touch passes and even a nice dragback 2nd half. He also made a frw very decent last ditch blocks and headers.

In summary, welcome win, you can see what Potter is trying to get the players to do and control games through possession which we are slowly getting beyyer at. But its also clear that there is still a huge requirement for 2 fast, athletic, strong central midfielders and a quick, powerful central striker ( something we’ve known for several seasons)

Strange really, had we got the 6 points against Southampton and Brighton like we should have, I’d have a different outlook on Potter.

It’s hard to feel much positivity about the club atm, and it’s difficult to know just how much of it he could fix.

There are some decent moments in our patterns of play that shows he is at least trying to play the right way, but that’s no real different to Lopetegui.

I don’t know what to expect from him in the transfer market, but if he is going to target getting the average age down significantly I’ll be happy. I just hope our strategy is different to the scattergun approach of bringing players in with seemingly no idea of how to get them complimenting each other as a team. At least then if results don’t come for Potter someone else might be able to.

He won’t be sacked anytime soon, so I’m going to hope that we are slowly turning a corner.

but from the starting line up to taking off Kudus and Bowen I can’t quite work out how that’s happened 

What did Kudus offer?

Two options here, firstly that he's throwing the game on purpose for reasons known only to him.

Secondly, and the one I'd pick, he genuinely believes that line up is the answer to the question, how do I beat Man U. Which suggests the man has in fact sufferred a stress induced nervous breakdown. 

Either way he should have been sacked the second he announced that team.

I’ve given up on the idea that he’s ever gonna go 
Sullivan has given him free reign to do as his pleases for the remainder of the season with no worry of what the results are and he’s just taking the piss 

Even on the off chance we actually make some decent signings and have a better squad for next season, how could anyone have faith in this bloke selecting the right players to start games. He reminds me of Graham Taylor for England 

Sullivan has fucked the shit out of this club

Disgraceful line up today. Fully deserves the boot for it on its own. Total disregard for the travelling fans.

Sullivan not to blame?
Kept Moyes going in seasons with 20 defeats from 38 & another with 74 goals conceded
Appointed Loppy
Appointed Potter

This is the man who at various points appointed Avram Grant & Barry Fry
After about 40 years in football he should realise he is utterly incapable & sell up

why? you want him to stay. you're in your "wait until after the world cup" phase, thinking it will suddenly get better
