    Does not look good for Marko..
    Moyes certainly has got his work cut out, we all knew that tho.
    Not a great start so far..

    How bad is hart?

    Very, is the answer

    Balderdash!
  • LukerzLukerz
    Honestly I thought Hart was a real upgrade upon signing but how bad has he become over the last few years? Pretty bad. Completely changed my view on him over the season.

    And I think you are wrong.

    Arni off Arthur on.


    A save off the line from Lanzini

    I know it’s the right thing to be patient and give it time, but time is something we don’t have (unless we plan to take points off the likes of Man City and Chelsea) - we are lurching towards being the side who will be playing the likes of burton Albion ina tax payer funded athletics stadium

    We’ve been absolutely awful, but even then there’s been one off the line, Gomes has made two blinding saves, and Kouyate skied a sitter.
  • welovethehammerswelovethehammers
    Sakho Masuaku and Lanzini up front now. That is such an upgrade on the attackers we've been using up front recently.

    When good players join West Ham they become bad

    When out of form players join West Ham they become even worse. That’s how it generally goes

    Disappointing for the 2nd goal. Reido has to do better, as does Hart.

    Replays show Hughes handled in the build up.

    Cleared off the line...

    We've created chances in this game, and have been far from 'shambolic', imo.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Reid has just come back from a round trip to/from New Zealand.

    Other international players should take note of his level of commitment.

    I'd like to hope that during 90 minutes of football we'd "create chances". I'd be very worried if we didn't. It's been all Watford in possession and territorially.

    It would not be as painful (even if we were 2-0 down) if we could keep possession, pass the ball about with pace in and around their box and create chances on top of this.

    Thing is we could easily be going the way of Sunderland last season. End up with a bunch of players who throw in the towel as we slide to relegation.

    Grey

    From what is I have seen the right team will be taking home the points this evening. Fully deserved for Watford

    Frightening how far ahead of us Watford are.

    Can’t see how we not going down

    Creating chances has not been our forte recently.

    Can't see that happening - the throwing in the towel, not necessarily the relegation...
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Well it is clear Moyes and his staff have a great deal of work to do.

    I did see today though a glimmer of hope.

    It should also be noted that Winston Reid played a full 90minutes after a round trip to/from New Zealand. Puts many ‘international stars’ to shame.

    Masuaku's give-and-go's are seriously good. So comfortable on the ball as well.

    He moves the play forward and I don't see why he shouldn't get more game time as a left winger.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    We have to be favourites for the drop....must be said

    Hope Moyes can turn it around
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    8 minutes of extra time.

    Masuaku has looked good when he has come on. I've said it for a while but he needs to play with Cresswell behind him. You know he will get to the byline and put in a cross. He often beats his man too which is nice as it helps us stretch teams.
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Arthur showing he deserves a chance at LWF; only one of our players today who looks comfortable in possession and able to beat his man.

    Not great today, but #babysteps
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    In terms of passing and ball control and general basics we've struggled to be even second best.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Peru. Winston went to Peru too.

  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    That's been true all season.

    If it can be changed, it won't change immediately.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I’d also like to mention Alan ‘Smudga’ Smith in co-coms.

    It’s a rare talent that makes Glenn Twaddle look informed and knowledgeable.

    Unless anyones thinking of doing the Leicester thread, I'll revisit my first draft and put it up later or tomorrow....
