I'd say, paradoxically, we always seem to turn up more for the 'big' teams, e.g. recent draw with Man City. I'm sure Tudor will have us trying to win all of the games, we're not good enough to pick and choose. Even the best teams have off days.
We didn't show up vs Arse, Chelsea or Spam, though.
It's mostly Man City.
We got better against Liverpool, IMO, through sheer adversity of a dodgy red, a dodgy goal and a bent ref
 
When you look at the home games it is such a shame we are so shit there. A few years we win 80% of these….If I am Tudor I’m trying to get the team to go out there and dominate these. He’s played for juve so will know all about expectations in front of demanding fans. That could be his trump card?

Tottenham’s six remaining home games — against Woolwich, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, Brighton & Hove Albion, Leeds United and Everton
I definitely think that this played a part in him seemingly getting the job.

He spent 9 years at Juve as a player. And has had two spells coaching there. One as head coach and one as an assistant under Pirlo.

He has been forged for football in high pressure, demanding environments.

Not to mention he has links to some of our players from his Juve spells as a coach. He had Dejan and Bentancur when he was assistant and possibly Romero and Radu as well depending on if they had been loaned out to Atalanta and Genoa respectively at the time. And obviously RKM last season. Possibly Destiny as well from his Udinese and Verona spells.

There should be voices in the dressing room to back him up.

I'm obviously hoping it doesn't happen.. BUT the season certainly has that 'feel' about it.
Poor decisions by the board well backed by a defence that consistently leaks sloppy goals and a frontline that struggles to score... it's looking like west ham are trying they're best to be the 3rd team relegated .. BUT given our piss poor form in the prem, unfortunately we can't be ruled out .

Those who put us in this situation must face the consequences at the end of the season!

They should have been questioned long ago – but something is protecting them!

Regardless of how this season ends for us – and I hope, like you, that we'll continue playing in the Premier League – things cannot and must not continue like this with those "in charge"; they are destroying the club's reputation!
 
As rubbish as we are, I still don’t think we go down. We should be capable of at least a win and a draw from what’s left. For that to matter, West Ham would need to win at least four of their remaining games. Considering they’ve only managed six wins all season, that would take a massive and pretty unlikely swing in form. I just don’t see it.
Three of those wins are in their last five games. Current form and circumstance is important context.

Ultimately West Ham and Forest have to outperform our results. Right now that’s happening.

Against us, when everyone’s beating us, plus Burnley and Sunderland at home. Hardly screams they’re about to win four of their last twelve.
 
I went to reading v Wycombe today. Reading somehow won 3 2 but Wycombe dominated. They changed manager a few months ago and I could see a well drilled side with players passing and moving all knowing their jobs. Reading sat in and sucker punched with three good counter attacking goals from errors.

Both teams looked properly coached and nothing like we were under Frank at all. They re in division one. I’m not confident we’d beat either of them with the way we played under him. We are a bad team. Let’s hope Tudor can get them going because it’s going to be a hard ask.
 
Reckon Brighton will sack Hurtzeler soon.
Getting hammered by a stuttering Liverpool side and dragged down with us.

Interesting new candidate for the fight is Newcastle.
Bruno out for 8 weeks. They haven't won a game when he hasn't played since he signed.

Yes, I’m sad with no Saturday night plans. Maybe been a little bias towards us, but I think we can turn it around.

Thoughts?
