***West Ham v Champions Official Match Thread***

I just feel sick. We've given them a sniff.

Having no striker has hurt us so badly.

[Grandad Rosler]

Shit performance today, Zinchenko and Fern the two standout worst performances but we didn't lose so will take that (although a loss or a draw are practically the same in grand scheme of things for us now).

Really nervous for Sunday given we are playing slippies Villa. I mean it couldn't be more written! Normal day we smash them every day of the week, fingers crossed for a normal day.

[branny]

Cancelo and Zinchenko are walking defensive nightmares. Beats me the credit some people give them. Cancelo is awful, especially.

I think that will be the last time we see Zinc. I'll be very surprised if he gets a look-in next season.

Zincs top lad, but he is not good enough sadly.

After that shit show at the back I expect Ake to start alongside Laporte next week so can see him retaining his place.

Sky saying it goes down to the final day. They have to get something at Southampton first for that to happen. W@@kers. If it was us in 2nd the narrative would be that we have to get at least a point to take it to the last day. Oh and Villa play on Thursday which helps.

Didn’t realise that. Hopefully their legs will be gone by time they turn up at the Etihad.

[PeterParker]

I am curious, Is it a must-have from the Premier League to announce the timeline of our injuries?
If not, what's the point of letting teams know that Ruben, Stones and Kyle are out for the season and let them prepare to exploit that like Wolves and Whu tried?

Pep gave out that information

I know that, but was he obligated?
Or just felt the need to say it.

[aaron bond]

Just add we look tired as fuck lots of players carrying niggles thank fuck we have a whole week off .

Were in control it’s all we can ask.

Correct pal , that’s all we could have hoped for .

Although it's true we are still in control, it's not all we could have hoped for today.

A win would have effectively sealed the league.

Instead, Pep plays a centre midfielder at the back when we have a centre back on the bench, and drops Foden.

Today could have made next week unimportant. Now we have to win next week.

I'll take the 2-2 draw after where we were at half time. But we should never have been 2-0 in the first place.

[carl_feedthegoat]

Another big game where Pep decides to mess around with the line up.

There’s no doubting he’s been a great manager for us but it’s year after year after year. He just can’t help himself. Has to do it in important games.

This is why I couldn’t give 2 shits if he left end of this season .
Now he’s sucking off noble — lovely .

It's frustrating, but we'll never ever be this good again so we have to just enjoy the time. Payback for 30 odd years of real crap

I don’t mind losing now and again if there are clear reasons - not making a sub is just beyond comprehension and it’s not a one off is it - pep has history of not making many tactical subs when the game is crying out for them .

That’s what is frustrating .

Pep great coach shit manager

Woman’s team equalised in last minute going to extra time

[london blue 2]

It’s the rollercoaster of emotions that have really done me in. Ultimately it’s a good result and it’s all in our hands which is what we would’ve taken before kickoff, having been two nil down it’s a great result. But missing the pen makes it a bit hard to stomach.

I don’t think I can stand any more emotional turmoil like this on the last day of the season, and I’m not sure it’s gonna be straightforward.

[Harry Dowd scored]

I have said it before, preaching about the need for five subs and not using any of the three you have on a regular basis is unforgivable, there was a clear need to change it today and perhaps we could have won, please play our best team next week, what worries me is next week is a final, a chance to fuck up, let’s hope he doesn’t

I’d like to see a boring as fuck 1-0 win, not all this bollox of having to come back from a goal or 2 down.

[Mase]

Why was Mahrez still on the pitch to take the pen? I’ve championed him all season, but he was terrible today. Why wasn’t he off?

[Beefymcfc]

Woman’s team equalised in last minute going to extra time

Forgot all about that. We still looked as though we had running in us at the end.

[PeterParker]

I love everything about QPR, but I don't want to live that game ever again.

I did think that gundo, Phil and even Sterling would have taken the game away from them. Pep it’s too fucking superstitious, it’s holding him back.

[CTID Hants]

Noble’s arse hole must be chapped from Pep’s rimming. Tosser.

It’s called sportsmanship to a fellow pro. Embarrassing you don’t see that Mase.

Who is retiring , today was last game in front of home crowd.

Sportsmanship it is indeed Hazy

[Tokyo Blue]

I love everything about QPR, but I don't want to live that game ever again.

Think of it more as being the West Ham game in 2014.

[Mase]

Whatever happens I hope we’re sporting and allow Villa a good game. We need to shake their hands and hug them afterwards. It doesn’t matter if we miss a pen in the last min and emotions are high, the best thing to do is accept it and hug and dance and laugh and joke.

Etistock 2022

Pep great coach shit manager

Sadly, this.

With the right subs, we would have won today, but the whole setup was wrong.
I think his biggest problem, after his stubbornness to change, is that he is too loyal to his players.

I love Fern, but before his announcement, he hardly played a game. Since then he did it in many moments, even if there was a kid ready to step up, even if he played well under his standards.

I can't understand why shit like this happens in the mind of a manager that redefined football. I've said it many times, I hate Klopp with passion, but can't remember a tactical brainfart & sadly, I can recall many moments where he changed and made the difference. Besides the dopey argument, it wouldn't be fair to say he is not good at his job.

So I can't understand.
I can't recall losing a game fair and square. Beaten by a team that was better than us. Either bent decisions, either brainfarts from him, or calamitous mistakes.

I think this summer, no matter how this will end, he needs to change some things/players. That or it will be deja vu all over again.
