    I was not realistically expecting much from the game but I was hopeful that we would have been more competitive than we have been, Newcastle lost yesterday but really competed with Spurs.

    This will be a long last 8 or 9 minutes,

    We seem to have better passing ability, but have gone back to Bilic style intenisty.

    It’ll get better..............it has to!

    Rubbish defending

    Hate Sturridge!

    At least we didn’t spend 100m not to defend

    Two seasons running we open up with a 4-0 defeat.

    Supporting West Ham is exhausting.

    The level of performance in this game is embarrassing.

    We can keep making excuses but this club has been doing this for too long. 3 season’s now this has been going on. Drubbing after drubbing.

    Nobody minds getting beat but the manner of this result is absolutely shocking. No intensity and no hunger from anybody.

    Four nil always sounds worse than three nil.

    At least our pre-season prepared us better for a thrashing. ;lol

    We were 2nd best by a mile.
    While disappointed with our performance , being realistic we won't be away up against a team that should finish in top 3 every week...
    No excuses on our side tho, we weren't great....
    Early days...

    I woke up early to watch this game. Time to go back to bed.

    We've been worse than 2nd best before ;wahoo

    Well that went well. I didn’t feel the need to concentrate after 20 minutes, so I got all my ironing done. Wilshire and Nobes both felt our pain ;nonono ;weep
    I hope we can settle over the next few weeks, we have some real talent in the squad, (Italian theatrics not needed). I hope the bloke who did the first weekends fixtures gets a really deep paper cut and then peels an orange.

    I just get the horrible feeling we will be bottom of the table going into the second game week :(

    ;hmm

    There’ll be champagne being popped open in Colin’s household this evening as his side sits above ours
  • whupathmanwhupathman
    Arsenal city next, I have a feeling we may not be bottom :)

    Well I guess it will be of consolation if we sit above Man City after that game is done

    Whose idea was it for Snodgrass to defend the near post at corners. What a flick on! but someone tell him to save it for the other end. ;angry

    OCS @ 1.50 & Preston at 2.23.

    Nothing to be concerned about we still have until the transfer window closes to rectify the problem. Hang a minute we can't, not until January, & the bloke we got at the eleventh hour is supposed to be slow so won't add any dynamism to our midfield. Can't say we won't warned.

    Although I maintain we don’t have a single DM good enough for the top half of the Prem, I don’t think Liverpool away is a fair game on which to judge this. Let’s see how good we are defensively against the likes of Bournemouth, etc

    I for one are still confident of seeing a much improved side this season, disappointing result but against a very good side. I thought we tried to move the ball about quicker, i thought that Anderson worked hard and tracked back well. I got the feeling that against anyone other than a very top team we will do well. Too early for gloom and despondency.
  • BubblesNeverDiesBubblesNeverDies
    Could it be that Pelle had written this game off as a dead cert defeat, and in light of a not very informative pre-season, decided to see what worked and what didn't, both in set-up and players.
    He's definitely got a lot to ponder on that performance.

    And as I write that, Unai Emery has just suffered his first goal against. ;biggrin
