Match West Ham v Tottenham Hotspur | Premier League | Tues 2nd April | 8:15pm

[El Capitan]

Johnson scored, then missed the three best opportunities to put a Spurs player in on goal because he rarely if ever gets his head up. The lord giveth, and the lord taketh away.

Infinitely more lively that those two insipid holograms Son and Werner though.

 

[sudoku]

Biss started so well but faded. I doubt he finishes the game on the pitch.

 

[VonnegutBusy]

Every game against this lot seems to descend into the same boring script.

Dominate possession, look to be in control, concede set piece, concede late winner.

 

[matspur]

You have to block shots. How can you stop giving corners away. Issue is we don't defend them. Just ditch zonal marking and put someone on Antonio. Very easy to implement in game. Not sure why Ange isnt sorting it

Never been a fan of zonal marking. The cat beater had the freedom of the box there

Yea besides the goal and one good carry at the end of the half, Johnson didn’t do a whole lot.

Glad for the goal of course though.

 

[JohnLondon]

We really do need to bring in some decent set piece coaches, we are really poor at both ends of the pitch

 

[Sundowner]

I just truly don't understand how VDV got a yellow but Paquita got nothing. what the fuck

 

[ThePreacher]

Has he apart from the goal his hardly been involved.

I mean we'd be one nil down mate without him.

FFS

 

[Two Left Feet]

This game could get away from us, we need subs early to rev up our play.

 

[nicoclaesen]

We need more from Maddison, too many games are passing him by.

Porro aswell some of his sloppy passing really fucked us early on. Considering he is a technical player he should be doing better in this regard.

Can't believe we gave these fuckers a lifeline

Madders been decent mate. He’s probing away and they can’t get near our three in there. Just need to play passes in behind rather to feet to strikers. Our front three couldn’t hold up a bank with a bazooka

 

[Maureen]

Funny how an early Tottenham goal somehow galvanised West Ham to 'let off the shackles' and come storming back...

Yet an early goal conceded against Woolwich fucking KILLED them, and they went on to concede 5 more...

Makes no sense... unless they did it deliberately!

Click to shrink...

Yes but we didn’t really put any pressure on their goal after scoring. We kept trying to play short slow passes instead using the wide players and FBs to get wide.

At least mark the oppo top 2-3 aerial threats. For WHam this would be Soucek, Antonio and their CBs.

 

[Kane's left]

We’ve been much better than the Luton game.

Just need to improve in the final third. Need to find that zip.

Click to shrink...

We've got the zip when going into the final turd but we keep getting our balls caught in the zip!

 

[Skippa18]

Need to create 1v1 situations for our widemen maybe Udogie and Porro to get on the overlap occasionally

 

[thinktank]

1. Think our receiving forwards often make those balls look harder

2. Agree

Click to shrink...

Though that's valid; in first instance the better ball is shunned, for some odd reason.

Also, if I'm in midfield, I am not fizzing a skipper along the turf to Son, expecting him to control it.

Super low probability of that.

 

[Jaynola]

Bit dramatic mate

Definitely could have been better though

Pal, you don't even watch games no more.

It’s criminal not to let Porto attempt more deliveries. He needs to be on the ball more.

 

[nicoclaesen]

1. We often take the more diffuclt, lower percentage ball on offer.

2. We, FREQUENTLY, botch wonderful final third situations.

It drives me up the friggin wall.

Click to shrink...

Yip but that will continue till we get better forwards that are more consistent in the game

West ham really haven't offered anything except punts and set pieces, they've been dominated completely.
They got one goal from the ball bouncing off the back of that weirdo

 

[nicoclaesen]

Son for Richarlison, Son just isn’t a 9 and his feet in crowded pressure are like springs.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Lo Celso for Bentancur too. Play with two more creative 8’s, but maybe give that one 15 minutes or so.

Bentancur has been excellent
