West Ham 1-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Chez]

Good pace from Walcott. Nice pass down the line to him too. Simple but effective attack. Cross blocked.

Zero pace in this side. Or actual realization of the plight we’re in, seemingly. Such a painful watch - slow and plodding, just so pleased with tippy tap. Ralph legacy. 

Surely playing on the road requires slowing the game down, quieting the crowd?

Indeed done alright so far 

[Saint_clark]

Shit touch from KWP costs us a shooting opportunity.

[FarehamSaintJames]

KWP should’ve just smashed it hard and low there first time.

Why do our players HAVE to take a touch before shooting 😤

[SotonianWill]

we’ve won the midfield but our attacking threat and pace is no existent. bunch of idiots up front 😂

[adrian lord]

Not too bad, so far.

 

if we can get the home crowd turning on Moyes and generally turning the place toxic, it would be very beneficial. 

[sandwichsaint]

Lavia looks on it today

[Chez]

good control of the ball and nice attack, kwp maybe should have done better

[Turkish]

West Ham fans starting to get on their backs already 

[Chez]

West Ham crowd starting to grumble a little.

Got to put himself out there for the big teams this summer. 🤣

[Saint_clark]

We've pissed off the home fans, step one complete.

[Saint Matty 76]

Stu being useless so far.

[The Kraken]

West Ham fans getting on the teams back already, good to see.

Think he's been excellent so far personally 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Raging Bull]

I’m not convinced Mara knows that strikers are allowed to play off the shoulder of defenders 

[Chez]

Armstrong making quite a few of those direct runs. Not come to much yet, but I should imagine they will make West Ham fans nervous.

Just heard that West Ham have not scored in the first 15 mins of any Prem game this season...

 

Here we go...

This aged well. Maybe its a sign that we are no longer the slump breaker?

we’re very good at that normally

[AlexLaw76]

They are clearly there for the taking....jesus (then, so are we I guess)

[Chez]

Great pressure Saints. West Ham hoof into touch. Nice stuff.

[BotleySaint]

Seen this before this season. A game where the opposition is so poor. But we let them win anyway, I fear.

You can certainly see why West Ham have slumped to the foot of the table. Absolutely vapid.

They do look poor, but we are also helping to make them look poor, giving them little space or ball.

 

 

[Archers Road Stand]

Been a good 20 minutes from us, just need to see some creativity. 

[sandwichsaint]

Solid start by us, what we mustn’t do …….

The London Library 

[Mr X]

Even the commentators don't know what to say to this game it's so dull 😂

[AlexLaw76]

2 teams clearly destined for the drop, on this showing.

We have been better but the quality on show is appalling

[obelisk]

Good away performance so far from Saints. Lots of possession and steady as she goes. A goal would be nice but to narrow in attack.

[Chez]

First Perraud cross of the day. Came down with snow on it. 

Walcott first touch there from the throw. Jesus.I'd be disappointed if my touch was that bad.

[LGTL]

Appalling game so far but plays into our hands I guess 

[goneawol]

Rodgers sacked

 

[Saint Matty 76]

West Ham have started SO badly.

If we had any quality on the pitch going forward we could’ve taken advantage, it’s just typical us so far.

Did villa not want ings?

Definitely putting himself out there for the Spurs job.

Rewarding for failure. 

[Chez]

West Ham fans booing their side after 22 minutes. 

[Saint_clark]

What the fuck was that DCC.

[adrian lord]

Bloody typical 

 

their first attack

Absolutely zero threat as usual. 

Need to recall the second half against Spurs. 

[Archers Road Stand]

Pathetic line from our players. 

[obelisk]

A cross into the box and WHU score easily.

[Saint Matty 76]

…and we’re playing from behind.

Fucking ridiculous selection yet again.

[RedArmy]

Shambolic. 

[FarehamSaintJames]

From the second that ball left the free kick takers foot you could see it was a goal.

Fucking weak team. First attack.

[adrian lord]

4 of them are in an offside position

FFS we are down everyone knows it

[Saint_clark]

Bazunus positioning terrible there.
