West Ham United 1:2 Manchester United

Hoof the ball · Sep 19, 2021

Prediction for the 2nd half.

Fred will have a decent 2nd half, everyone will forget Fred's1st half, Fred FC will have the confirmation bias they need to argue for the next week that Fred is playing well.

Repeat process.

West Ham are a good team, playing against us perfectly and we've still been the better side. It's somewhat encouraging, at least.

These jammy goals are a counterbalance from the Wolves game. No idea how we didn't lose by a handful.

The attacking play had been some of the best this season, so not sure what all the complaining is about there, looked a bit open defensively with Varane having a poor game but when the tempo is up chances look imminent, Pogba and Greenwood have been excellent though perhaps their positioning is allowing WHU to get out down the flanks with more ease.

Varane has been excellent. A lucky deflection doesn’t change that.

I'd say that's been more a testament to our fullbacks getting forward well (Shaw and AWB have been very good this half IMO) and Greenwood being excellent.

One thing people don't mention about AWB offensively is that he's actually good at keeping hold of the ball. One suggestion for future purposes, at least until we get a more comfortable midfield passer would be to use AWB in the build up by keeping him deeper in the build. Let the right winger maintain the width, and AWB come in narrower, like City do.

Apart from yet another goal conceded via deflection, we've played well. Bruno, Mason and Pogba have been great. But the usual players'(AWB and Fred) lack of ability is killing our attacks. They have their place in the squad but they don't contribute to the attack in a meaningful sense.

As long as we keep up the quick one touch stuff near their area we have the talent to pin them down. West Ham will always look dangerous as we'll leave space for them to attack but our team is far better and should get the winner no matter how late.

United remind me of Liverpool before they signed VVD. Full of goals, but missing that missing piece in that makes us the complete package. Need that final piece in midfield badly.

More like before Fabinho, that’s the player we’re missing,

Varane is class but he has to prove he can do it on a rainy sunday at upton park

7 shots on target, more than any other team this season yet these lot are moaning.

mancan92 · Sep 19, 2021

Pogba has been amazing. His touch, strength and passing is unreal.

Adamsk7 · Sep 19, 2021

I think we’ve been pretty good - some excellent football and Ronaldo, Greenwood and Bruno have been great to watch. As much as he’ll no doubt get zero credit, I’ve been surprised by the accuracy of some of McTominay’s drilled balls through the lines, long may that continue as it’s sorely missed.

I feel like anyone being negative needs some perspective - West Ham are a good team, we’re away and conditions are a bit shit. Think most teams will find this a hard game.

Feels like we will never get a clean sheet again

We conceed screamers Strange goals and Deflections ever game.

That's the irony. Think it will balance itself out come the end of the season. We will go on a long defensive run. We really aren't conceding too many normal chances

It's always raining when we play at West Ham

We are playing really well. Sharp passing and creative. Only worry is defense looks a little shaky but you have to admit WH are pretty good.

So we buy Sancho to finally solve are RW problem and now we have two superstar RWs. Greenwood looks so good he might make this his spot. With Ronaldo/Cavani at CF and Greenwood playing so well, Ole has to make room for him and I think Sancho loses out. In addition, Pogba at left looks great.

It might be we didn't need Sancho after all. Who would have predicted that?

There are mid week champions league games that require some quality options and you can't go into a season banking on every winger staying fit.

1 clean sheet in 11 games. That 1 came against wolves, in a game where we could have conceded 4 by half time. Defensive organisation is a huge issue.

Stems from midfield I believe, we lose balls in dangerous positions several times every game.

Good point, just focusing on the look of gameplay not the statistics.

I only looked up the stats because my impression was different to yours.

We've created a lot of chances. Did they not look like shots on target to you?

The only thing that bothers me is we look really shaky when they have the ball.

Pogba should never play CM again. Incredible on the left.

I know that Rashford is everyone's favourite but Pogba is hugely more effective on the left.

Agreed, I lose my shit enough watching us but today is a tough game and we’re playing well making plenty of chances.

Come one a poor Fred performance or a perceived poor Fred performance is never forgotten.

The midfield pairing letting the team down so far.

I actually think Mctominay has been good. His passing has been pretty decent and of course his industry and runs from deep have been good. Fred....now that's a different story, not just today, all season

He is so good at floating into the middle.

Juansar_07 · Sep 19, 2021

That Fabianski save of Bruno's bullet shot still infuriates me. He always (and only) does this against Utd.

Ridiculously confident Ronaldo will score again.

Minus the error from Maguire early in the game, both our centrebacks have looked comfortable.

I really feel like McTominay can get to another level like Fletcher so, it's a bit annoying that he keeps getting lumped with Fred.

Always disappointed with the bubbles at West Ham. Fill the stadium properly you cowards. I’m talking can’t see the pitch any more level bubbleage.
