We have a worse squad now than we had at the end of last season and a manager who still doesn't know his best eleven.
Recipe for failure

I have to keep reminding myself that it was Leicester RESERVES who MISSED a penalty and still beat us with absolute EASE.
2 years and £180mil, and he can't make us competitive against Leicester RESERVES.
Fucking hell.

As soon as he took off Haller you knew there was only going to be one winner.

Formals was a star in the summer tournament by all accounts so it's either that he has struggled with the PL or Pellegrini isn't getting the best out of him. Even Moyes improved Arnautovic, how many has Pellegrini improved?

Rice was totally lost in the second half after Sanchez went off. Snodgrass was playing in the same forward areas as players we still had on the pitch.
Playing Sanchez today does show us the sort of player we need though. Strong, good in the air, good technically, decent passer and tackler and most importantly knows the position and where to cover. Yes he clearly isn't good enough and they cost serious money but it would make a big difference. Sanchez won several headers today which I've not seen Snodgrass or Noble do and it freed Rice to make runs forward and make something happen. Second half Rice was overrun, we didn't get near them and even had Diop coming into midfield which caused the second goal.
I'm amazed an experienced coach cannot see this and hasn't addressed it. Our fullbacks were terrible defensively as well. It was covered in part by having two defensive mids but that needs addressing with some players who know how to defend and deliver a ball.
Desperately poor second half after a first half where we weren't great but at least rallied.

Major surgery needed been festering for years the culture at West Ham has to change, owners have had enough time now, we don't deserve this West Ham London shit. Far too many clowns in the circus and the BOWL is a disappointment to say the least.

Let's imagine for a moment that the last 6-10 games were a task on The Apprentice.
Given Pellegrini's performance as project manager. What would Karren with two Rs be saying to Lord Sugar?
Yes exactly........

Yes of course it's why they dont sack him. It's as clear as day.
They cunts are a mix of ego maniacs and inherent deep tightarsedness.
And 10 years on this is the result.
As for their business success, how much of it is from selling vibrators and how much of it is from have a bit of capital to invest in property at the right time?
I don't know

The really worrying thing is that the fans have pretty much gone beyond caring. We can’t even be bothered really protesting against how shit it all is right now, because it’s so shit.
Our loyalty has always been amazing and manipulated because of that. Regardless of the pure shit that’s been served up over the years - and it’s often been pure shit - we are always there in our numbers. Watching numerous multi-millionaires doing pretty much fuck all.
We’ll no doubt get the usual meaningless, cliche-driven sound bites from Pellegrini once more in his post-match interview. I think we’d all have more respect for the old cunt if he just admitted that he was out of his depth, out of ideas and not good enough. The decrepit ‘grey head from Art Attack’ cunt.

Haller, Anderson, Fornals - he hasnt got the best out of.
The other two I think are not good enough.

130 Million spent on Haller, Anderson, Fornals, Ajeti & Yarmolenko.
None of them have been a success and they are either not good enough or the manager has not got the best out of them.
Although there are obviously other issues structively The players we have bought have been the man problem.
A decent manager who can indentify good players for his system and get the best out of them would have made a massive difference bringing in 4 or 5 players for 130 million.

I wonder why they don’t just sack him. Is it because they have to pay a load of compensation? I really wonder how they have made a success of businesses. Maybe porn and smut industries work differently, maybe times have changed.
They always want to do everything on the cheap, but don’t have the vision and plan to make it work. Wolves have spent well, don’t pay extortionate wages and have a decent manager. Why can’t we ever do things right? We always spunk money on over inflated wages and marquee signings that never work.

Because the dildo Daves have sat with their arms up their arses other managerless clubs are appointing anyone decent, unless they get Pochitino were left with either Moyes or BFS, and we know how successful those two are.

they would still be better than Sanchez..
Think he is trying for another relegation team in claret and blue ..
Then he is joining Burnley.

Wilder and Potter have changed things at their clubs in half the time and in Potters case just 6 months.
