I think it’s been a good window just because of the front 2 we got in. For years we’ve never been able to field something like that.  It’s unlocked Summerville and Bowen as well.  if we can play against other teams like we did against Chelsea in the 1st half then it’s been a good window.  I think th...

Funny that Mateta failed a medical at AC Milan after Fullkrug broke down the first day he got there. I suppose they’re not doing that shit again!

That cսnt wants that poxy stadium on the cheap, hook or by crook. Relegation would be his best chance.   I doubt the govt are going to sell it to him. They hate him.  I think they’d sell it to the club with different ownership but not him. His best money making ability is a successful club not some...

I don’t think they want to be in the championship. That would take too much planning to orchestrate such a mess of policy over 3 yrs to drag us down. The reality is just straight up incompetence. All really stemming from this weird policy of not getting a manager who is still in contract. We do it w...

how is Larsen worth 48m? 1 goal in 23 for wolves. Palace have gone mad.
 

Given the way we collapsed when Pablo was knackered do we need another forward to run around a bit? 
I feel like we should always be playing 2 up top. We just can’t see out games very well without a constant press at the front. 
Will they try to get someone else in?
 

Looking at fixtures again we probably have 6 fixtures we can win from the remaining games. Palace look like they could win between 3 and 6 as well based on form. The more I look at it we’d have to go on an unbelievable run and Palace can’t win more than 2 of their remaining games for us to be surviv...

Interesting that of the teams from Palace (14th) down us and Forest have the best form from the last 5 games.  from a projection point of view it looks more like it’s between us and Palace/Leeds and not Forest. And if we continue with our 5 game form we will stay up.  I suppose normally the transfer...

Should he be dropped after today's clown performance? Another lazy bit of non-scouting from our crack recruitment team. He was signed by PSG when they were interested in shelling out obscene money for anything that moved. They have since changed tack and end up finally winning the champions league....

Dont see Areola being at fault for any of the goals really. Maybe the second one,  but then he's expecting a header on his inside not a looping cross/header back across the goal. Each goal he's had to gamble as to where to be because the ball could have gone anywhere. And with the quality Chelsea ha...

They were all over us before Nuno made any subs. We didn't surrender, some on here have clearly never kicked a football. Our problem is keeping goals out not scoring them. Been like it for 2 years at least, as soon as we're put under pressure we cave in. You need to dig in at points during most gam...

The thing is you can’t defend against what Chelsea were doing with just us by putting more defenders on. They were floating balls in etc. you could have ten defenders on and you can’t stop top level players getting on the end of those things.  the key is to stop them putting in the cross in the firs...

This result won't relegate us. We expected to lose anyway.  The Todibo ban might with that Kilman coming back into the side though.     I was shouting at the telly! It was like some car crash in slow motion. Our best fucking defender gone for 2 games. I seriously cant believe what’s just happened. ...

Wilson on his own up front.. thats not going to work here. He;s not going to press much either.
I just dont get it

I really just think you need to fight fire with fire. The minute they overload on us why not overload on them instead of trying to match them. How do the losing team get to dictate the game? Thats not right.
 

How is that not a yellow?

it’s THIS, not VAR that pisses me off. It’s the inconsistency of refs. Either follow the rules or not ffs 

keep calm and carry on lads! 
 

I dont think Scarles has done anything to lose his place. I feel like Scarles is a better defender than Diouf. I suppose its that crossing game that Diouf has that puts him ahead maybe?
 

I’m willing to think this Disasi thing is a sort of “money ball” transfer.  in that he was sold to Chelsea for nearly 40m from Monaco so clearly was not shit. Then I hear both Chelsea and Villa played him at RB and his best position is CB.  So is he another mispriced asset? We’ve seen it with Linga...

https://youtu.be/ICOQU2RXliI?si=uH1SAunIylWNVReu quite a bit shorter than those weekly West Ham analytics podcasts. But quite easy to understand.  I think we’ve all been looking at Pablo and Tatty pushing at the front but the guy makes the point that AWB is essentially becoming a midfielder when we ...

Didn’t he score a header against us once with wolves?
I think he came on and kind of destroyed us if I remember rightly. 
(but isn’t that the West Ham way lol… do nothing against anyone else but play us and we make u look like Pele.. ) 
 

I think he'll come on for Pablo on 70 minutes. Bowen moves central , Traore on right wing and possibly Wilson comes on for Tatty after that. A front 4 in attack with Summerville and Traore would be pretty good.

 

I agree to a level. For me it's the comparison between Aguero and Arnautovic. No question Aguero was the better player, but for West Ham he'd never have been as effective as Arnautovic. Box strikers need service, and to provide service you need control of the ball and to be able to progress up the ...
