Whether that’s tactics or not, none of the midfielders are showing for the ball with any conviction, resulting in the backwards pass being the only option.

He was rank mature, we just consistently regressed under him.The premise was that Ange is a rank Amateur clown and our worst manager ever.
Seeing that this was widely accepted, then it’s expected that a solid, premier league proven manager like Frank should be at least having us in the top 10.
Frank has managed to perform even worse than him despite the addition of FIVE established international players. (Kudus, Palhinha, Simons, Muani, Gallagher).
Add in the vastly different (some would say hypocritical) media/pundit narratives surrounding the two and it’s easy to see why people get riled up.
Oh and there’s also the small factor of a trophy/parade thrown in.
The Board went for one coaching extreme to another. If Postecoglou was a bit more measured then he might have won more games. If Frank was a bit more adventurous then he might have won more games.
Different circumstances... I never wanted Frank in the first place... You wouldn't have known, as I wasn't part of the forum when he joined us.
As I have said, all I did was give him chance, and as of this moment, he ain't doing a good job.
I don't think we will go down, so ain't panicking. And personally I would rather wait for the right manager.
I said at the start of the season, that this season is a right off, as the club is such a mess that will take years to sort out.
No, I'm never going to give it a rest coz your a nasty peice of work.
So feck off and shove Levy headed didlo up your ass and choke on your cornflakes.

Lack of balls would be my guess and a team low on confidence!
We are in this position because of Frank,
He has had enough players to do better.
Even with Maddison and Kulu, things would not be much better as he plays crap football.
He is useless and should be sacked and probably replaced with the Fox like creature in Shady;s profile photo.
It's not a defence of Frank or a call to keep him as such, things were poor even before the massive injury crisis.
Since the beginning of November. We have TWO wins in SIXTEEN league games. We have ONE win in TEN league games. We’ve lost EIGHT of them. In that time we’ve also required late equalisers against Newcastle & Burnley. We’ve gone behind in TWELVE of those games.
We haven’t scored more than 2 goals in any of those games. We’ve conceded 2 or more goals in ELEVEN of those 16 games. Our first choice keeper and centre backs have been available for 95% of those games.
We are now SIX points clear of the bottom 3. Our next TEN premier league fixtures come against sides that we have collected a total of SEVEN points against in the reverse fixtures this season with ONE win in the 10 games played.
West Ham have won more league games since the 17th of January than we have since the 1st of November. Any time I start believing something might come against Newcastle on Tuesday because they are in bad form, I’m quickly reminded that we have won ONE home league game since August 16th, and even that was 2 months ago.
There is a very real chance of being relegated albeit I still think we will find enough points.
How has this been allowed to happen?

I don’t disagree, but in that clip they could definitely make much more effort to want the ball.We don’t really play passing triangles like City or Bournemouth. We don’t look to control games, it’s all get the ball and bang it down the line. I very much doubt the players want that, it’s clearly our style of play.
As an example a really awful Burley team under Kompany played really good football, great coaching. They just didn’t have the quality. Style of play is the manager.

Is all a bit over the top and unnecessary tbh.
I wonder who's job it is to coach the players to be brave and show for the ball
