    Anderson seems to be playing quite deep.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Still looking very lightweight in midfield

    He just ran through at our defence unopposed
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Once more we get done by players just running through the middle...
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    some of the defending is shocking...
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Despite the General's best efforts to gift them a goal, it stays 2-1.
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Let's hope we've been doing double training sessions...
  • LukerzLukerz
    Nice goal, good hold up play by Haller, with a good finish from Lanzini.
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Manu mishits a cross and lucks an equaliser... :whistle: (Not really, Ham.)
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Haller doing some nice hold up play, going forward we look okay, defending we look like Wimbledon could probably do us 3-1 again.
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Defenders thinking they are ballers, but playing like ballerinas.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Cresswell left the ball again and it almost worked for Hertha Berlin again. Completely doesn't look bothered to put the hard yards in.

    Gonna be some epic counter attack goals this season on both ends!

    Love Haller’s hold-up play already. Haven’t had someone like him since the great Carlton Cole.

    Clearly looking to win every game 5-4 this season. And who wouldn't be happy with that?
  • LukerzLukerz
    The idea is clearly for Lanzini/Anderson/Fornals to basically do what they want behind Haller. Each managed to take up a different position in that three on at least one occasion during that half.
  • HamstewHamstew
    Lanzini so poor again
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Yeah, that was as West Ham a performance as you could see. Good on the counter, terrible at the back.

    It seems obvious, to me at least, that we need someone next to Rice to protect the middle of the park. Ok, it means dropping one of Wilshere, Fornals, Anderson and Lanzini, but we're going to concede a lot of we let teams wander through the middle of the park.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Yeah not sure Wilshere in a two with Rice is going to work, personally.
  • LukerzLukerz
    So has Fab picked up a knock? The usual thing we get a week before the season to a key player...

    Pretty much echo what everyone is saying....and what almost all of have said all summer

    We are too lightweight in the middle of the park, we need a better partner for Rice as we ge turned over far too easily

    Haller looks great though

    The very last we need is having to start with one of those two journeymen keepers we bought to sit behind an already porous defence. Especially as Man City already score a minimum of four every time they visit our stadium
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    While it's easy (and fun) to pick holes, this is a much better preseason in terms of attacking play than recent years, evidence of the improved quality of our top half players.

    The midfield fancy Dan's were trying hard to drop back and cover defensively, it's just that they're not very good at tackling...

    Barack's

    Roberto is hardly a journeyman.
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    I really like Formals - he does love to run, and put himself about.
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Ben Johnson looking proper decent again.

    3-2 to Hertha

    Pretty easy again for them
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Just made 4 changes; can't help.
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    :goal:

    Haller gets his first for us to level again.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Haller equalises
