Goal

welovethehammers

3-2

Ogbonna.

Antonio looking so hungry

Lukerz

Gutted that goal has gone in

Pelle will have another week now

Looks like we made a fist of it

I wouldn't Suz, It's a personality thing. It's a different personality but along the lines of those who wouldn't want Joey Barton on their team, committed, effective and a good player but just something so unlikable about them.

With fab in goal we’d have won that game 2-1 simples

And probably a few of the previous seven too

Annoying really. Still lose but those goals will save him.

Huttonhammer

Who cares about pushes and shoving ? If we pushed and shoved a bit more we might start showing the passion needed to win .
We are an utter disgrace of a club from top to bottom and it has been coming for years.
No passion or desire at all

baracks_a_hammer

Hardly worthy of much praise pulling a couple of goals back when the game is lost long ago

I can only assume Spurs switched off after their third goal and assumed, like the rest of the football world, that it was game over.

The fightback gives the board an excuse not to part with the £20m it'll cost them to bin off Pellegrini.

I think Roberto was only at fault for the first goal, directly. However, his performance was so incredibly poor that it can only have bred indecision and lack of confidence among the team

How his tactics smell of poo

The question is would we be in such a mess if Fab was not injured, probably not, but where there is blame is who thought “calamity” was an able understudy?

I think it became more that that today as the mistake in buying him as understudy is one thing and we all make mistakes, Pelle has had cast iron evidence that Roberto is not up to the job and yet still picked him today, that's the unforgivable bit. When he first came in for Fab we hoped and expected better, but to demonstrate over the last six or so games just how horrendously poor he is and yet secure his place in the side today, that is more than a mistake that is incompetence on the part of the manager.

Where are the greys with there words of wisdom . :puzzled:

Brother_Sledge

Great to see Antonio back and I thought Rice and Noble did a lot of good things but overall very disappointing - I think it is poor management rather than individuals lack of effort/passion but confidence is shot all over the pitch and little things keep going against us -

The darkest hour is just before dawn.

jay_in_cpt

IMO those 2 goals were just covering the major cracks under this manger.
I would seriously have sooner lost 3-0 and Pelle gone than this result, anyone who didn't watch the match sounds like we were close to them, all reality the 1st half was another shocking pre season friendly performance & only because Spurs faded & Antonio came up we made the scoreline what it was.
I really hope the Dave's are brave, pay the money & get a new manager in.
Whether he's in China or not, just do it!.

Fortuneseeker

Brother_Sledge,

I fear it may need to get even darker before we hopefully see a new dawn!

ASLEFshrugged

Just seen the third goal. Oh dear.

Okay, positives. Antonio was immense, Snoddy worked his socks off.

And by some freak of nature Sanchez didn't do anything wrong.

jay_in_cpt

Aslef, in all reality IMO Sodgrass working his socks off is a bare minimum.
Not sure that's enough from just 1 player.

Huttonhammer

How is there any positive in losing to spurs??

Lukerz

The only positive from that game was Antonio, who was superb & will give us a massive threat.

That’s it.

BubblesNeverDies

I thought Sanchez did quite well.

horshamhammer

Poor as Roberto is, I thought the ironic cheers he received from his own fans was a but muggy. Support your own.

ianbishoplegend

Snoddy has the work rate of a normal midfielder in a well managed club, he just looks hard working in the current West Ham shirt!

Antonio is always immense. He is the God of Immenseness.

Biggest positive is Antonio will start against Chelsea.

Lukerz

How poor, productivity wise, has Anderson been this season.

jay_in_cpt

Just how bad have we become though, not trying to go on about Pelle, ok well let's do it.
Anderson looks like a fraction of how he played last season.
Masuaku can't even get in the squad.
What player has Pelle improved?, not 1 IMO.
These as well as others are signs that there are massive issues at the club, most we aren't privy to.
I sadly feel that our manager has lost the players faith, let's face it playing our " so called Cup Final " today our 1st half resembled a pre season match against god knows who.
There is no fight, no spirit , nothing.
We cannot rely on Antonio Or wait for Fab to change our fortunes, things need changing & again of course IMO they need changing now.

Hamstew

He's terrible. Lanzini gets pelters and rightly so but because Anderson cost a fortune it's not allowed on Twitter.
