***West Ham v CITY match thread ***

[getdressedmctavish]

Pellers set us up for a stroll which is naïve. Needs to earn his money now.

I'm in work. Can anyone give a run down of the first half?

Mangala is a liability as is the whole of the defence, Midfield is DEAD due to a lazy cunt that has been, and probably will continue to being SHITEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE until he gets another expensive paycheck elsewhere.

[Moonchesteri]

That was fucking hopeless performance from us. Nobody was willing to put any effort in and everyone is just hoping/expecting/waiting for someone to pull off a moment of brilliance and score for us.

Not good enough.

[Bridge'srightfoot]

Agree. I still remain very on the fence regarding Navas, he just seems very easy to read and defend against at the moment.Good against teams with a high line but not great otherwise. Milner is much better at making half a yard and getting a cross away against sides who sit deep.

TBF he's not getting much help from his teammates is he. As a team, we're hiding when they come with three or four players against the ballholder. More support needed, a decent shift one might even say.

I'm kind of impressed with how West Ham are defending. At times, they have three players in our half when we start rolling the ball which makes it impossible for us to slowly pick up pace. We have the capacity to deal with that but that requires some effort from the players, which we're honestly not seeing.

And Dzeko's having one of those days as well.

I'm not basing it off just today though. Generally he's poor and easy to read one v one with his defender if he can't use his pace. He just gets crowded out or ends up whacking the ball against the defender's legs. Needs to adapt his game.

no changes? not surprising.

Song should be off pulling back toure

[carl_feedthegoat]

Kompany continuing to give away free kicks......he has been utter fucking SHITE today.

[Cocacolajojo1]

Ha! I had not noticed it before but at least now, they were marking Kompany when we had the ball. Very clever.

[Esky]

Many contenders in the race for the bottom today. Add Dzeko to the list of the useless - not sure anything he's tried today has worked.

[Redna]

Best City player so far is the right goalpost at the Trevor Brooking stand and he have not touch the ball yet!

[phips]

wtf is Fernando doing? has he not learned in the past 56 minutes that you can't take that many touches in midfield?

[Dameerto]

Milner 'The Postman' is warming up - we could use him.

[Cocacolajojo1]

Can you fucking take off Dzeko?!

[phips]

Can you fucking take off Dzeko?!

coming off for Jovetic

[dick dastardley]

Every single player has been shite today, special mention to dzeko, clichy and toure.
And Mr invisible today navas

[carl_feedthegoat]

These players need to be shat on...absolute shambles !!!!

[Redna]

Worst performance form many moons!
CTID!

[Moonchesteri]

Getting desperate here

De Jong is still a massive mistake, 60 mill and we still miss his desire to do things simple and he loved his role in front of Vinny. We look as soft as shit.

He was rubbish though.
