Hammers ⚒ v Man City - “AND IT’S LIVE”

grey_til_I_dye

Our attacking play hasn't been great, but a lot of that is down to how City defend. They only shipped 23 goals all last year in the PL.

It's just insane. 3 nil up and they bring on B Silva

This is all very depressing

Rice needs to move the ball faster

alderz

For me, the best moments we've had have been on the break. We've got into good positions and then either crossed poorly (Antonio, Fredericks, Cresswell) or made poor decisions on the ball (Anderson, Lanzini, Wilshere).

Has any team in the PL ever conceded back to back, 4 goals at home for 4 games in a row against the same oppo...

I know that's a goal by the rules, but again, Aguero was offside, and had to be interfering...

thornburyiron

Yes us shortly.

I'll say it again, our passing in the final third has been so bad. We slow down almost every attack and invariably give it away.

I echo Jordan's sentiments. So fed up of having a big team first game up.

alderz

I would like it if just once Lanzini stayed on his feet and made a good decision with the ball. Even just one time I'd be happy.

Needs to be looked at. Defenders playing high line for offside means nothing as another attacker can take advantage of that.

Lanzini pulled back by Rodri, no foul, no booking. Come on Mike Dean apply the rules

SuzanneClaret

Lanzini stay on your feet!!!

Dodger58

Fredericks has done well today

Can someone please explain when a player is deemed to be active?

ianbishoplegend

Sam Byram taught Fredericks to cross

thornburyiron

OCS weren’t people saying now’s the best time to play City as they won’t be fully up to speed.

alderz

That was a penalty all day long. Fab with a shocking ball, Diop with the clumsiest challenge you'll ever see

whupathman

Makes a change starting the season bottom

SuzanneClaret

Dean has given them a pen.

You don’t need VAR to check that.

alderz

Omg

Dodger58

Fab makes up for his error. But now to be retaken!

alderz

Honestly this rule is absolute nonsense

ianbishoplegend

What was Fornals told to do this half. Looks like he has no clue where to be

SuzanneClaret

Thats naughty by Augero.

Sterling wanted it and should of had it, he’s on a hatrick.

And as I type it’s saved.

SuzanneClaret

To be retaken.

Oh Lordy.

OldCastleSwift

Another 4-0 humbling on opening day.

So sick of this.

MIAHammer

Two errors leading up to that penalty. We give the ball away from a throw in and Fabs shanks it.

SuzanneClaret

Goal.

4-0

Yeoldhammer

I think we are the only PL team to concede 4 goals at home to the same opposition 4 times on the bounce
