Happy days what a time to be alive, the West Ham Way.

That’s exactly it.. they are so happy with last nights performance.. they even bought carol on as a defender. Shows where they are.

I reckon they’d have even been happy with a 1-0 defeat and treated that as a positive result.. They think Moyes has turned it around???

That club are finished.
 
We must have watched different games but fair dos if that's how you feel
He played DM, he performed a DM role (did it better than Dier, who miss placed more of his passes). He did exactly what Winks has done recently in this role, probably better defensively than him two (made more tackles).

Not saying he’s a great player. Just judging his role last night, that’s it. He performed his role, did what Poch wanted. The problem was having two DM’s.
 
Triggered? Or just exposed for your bullshit once again

Poch was wrong to play him and made some selection errors - but you still claimed Sissoko was less to blame than all those listed. Are you going to lie and deny this again. Deary me - time for another meltdown me thinks

Im not denying anything, I actually stand for my opinions you wishy washy twerp.

We had 30 shots, one went in, so yes the collective attack is more responsible than Sissoko for not scoring more goals, ergo, winning the match.
An the manager is more responsible than Sissoko, because even by your flawed and pathetic logic, it was he who picked Sissoko, and then played him for three quarters of the game.

I think they are playing better now than under Bilic, but all the plaudits are because of “results” against us, Woolwich and Chavs. Ignore the fact that they need 3 points against their rivals for relaxation, something he’s failed to do.

We actually did score a goal - so by your pathetic logic if Sissoko closed down his man we would have won 1:0. Now be gone - only a troll would advocate Sissoko improves our starting 11
 
So will you blame Eriksen and Sanchez who also didnt close him down
Its good to quit while your on the ropes...

Respect

He was at fault for the goal along with Aurier - so in that regard he didn't do his DM job well at all

Also if we kept a clean sheet - we didn't need to score more goals - flawed logic

Pathetic as usual - was wondering how long it would take you after your laughable return before you resorted back to your trolling ways. Also - speaking of quoting - I'm not the one who runs away from the forum cyclically when being proven wrong daily.

Personally I think they are playing better by being more negative. In 2 games against Woolwich they failed to have a shot on target, against us they had 1 on target. I seriously think they are the most negative side in the league.
As you mentioned they still bang on about the ‘West Ham way’ and that WAS playing entertaining football despite the result.
Thats clearly gone out the window and it’s all about stopping other teams playing and hoping they can get a point.

Last night and the fact they are celebrating a dull point proves just how far we are ahead of them.

The 22 points after 22 games and the 41pts more than them last year puts any debate on who is ahead or not beyond any doubt.

So Eriksen, Aurier, Sanchez, Lloris at fault for the goal, but you have claimed that Sissoko is more responsible than the rest of the team, and the manager, for the defeat.

Your logic is based around a clean sheet as if it was the only way to win.

We didnt need a clean sheet if our shots to goal ration was higher than 30/1, yet you point blank refuse to criticise the attack.
 
Hahahaa.....yes, because Poch always plays players he doesnt want to doesnt he....look at all the hundreds of games Janssen, Njie, Nkoudou, Townsend got.....

Must try harder people.

You dont rate Sissoko, but the manager does.

Its ok to disagree with Poch. It doesnt mean you think you know more than him.

Say it after me:
I disagree with Pochettino that Sissoko should play

There you go, it didnt hurt did it, and you will look far more credible than trying to say its Levy thats forced Sissoko onto the pitch
Poch is the chosen one , he walks on water , even makes the odd mistake but we are run as a business not a passion.
Levy is the dark one .
 
Poch rates him.
When I critricsed Dele you told me I think I know more than the manager.

So I guess regarding Sissoko, you, and others, think you know more than Poch.

#ironic
My argument was that your criticism was moronic and over the top. The fact that you know more than - well, everyone is evident in all of your posts. You have never conceded anything you have said, ever.
I however, despite my reservations about Sissoko, have said that he has his uses and defensively he is sound. I am astonished he gets game time but have faith that Poch knows better and that he sees value in him.
When spam set their stall out, him and Dier became surplus to requirements. I would have bought on Moose and Winks. But then again I can afford to gamble on tactics, I don't make a living out of team selection.

Where have I been proven wrong though?
Was Dele benched? Yes....yes he was, and he immediately improved after. Imagine that. Dele was benched, and it done him good. Who was wrong again....? haha

And who is wrong on Sissoko?

Ive said he´s limited, but does his job, get ott critique and the manager trusts him and plays him.
Is that wrong?

Not really is it, sounds pretty accurate, especially when he played 70 minutes away to Madrid in our most professional performance under Pochs entire reign

Yeah, so in essence, by your own argument, you know better than Poch, because Poch didnt do that
 
The only problem I had with Sissoko last night was that he wasn't withdrawn early enough.

Poch does tend to make the subs 10-15 minutes too late.
 
Sissoko was poor, as he's been all season. Last season I was in the "he needs more time before we can make a judgement" camp. This season he has had more time. Too much time.

I would love to see our goals per 90 with Sissoko on the pitch vs goals per 90 without Sissoko on. I can't say for sure, but I would expect the latter to be significantly higher.

Now, was he THE reason we lost points yesterday? No, of course not. It was just one of those days. Two clear penalties and 31 shots should've given us more goals, and they barely had a chance all game.

However, Sissoko on the pitch certainly did not help. He does nothing for us offensively, but slow us down and make us easier to defend against.
