[Mr Pigeon]

I liked the period at the end of this beautiful sentence!

I had to put it there so folk knew that I wasn't just reacting badly in the immediate aftermath of a bad result.

 

[kopviolator]

Not acceptable

 

[Eric_the_Red99]

That’s hilarious. Has ETH seen our players in anything other than situations like this over the last two months??

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

There wasn't much wrong with our back for defensively.

It’s their mentality that’s the issue. They’ve let us down time after time. As soon as the pressures on they crumble.

 

[Member 125352]

We have the attack of a team fighting against relegation. it doesn’t really matter whether we play weghorst or martial upfront, they’re both invisible where they need to be visible. We also rely too much on Bruno, he has all the weight on his shoulder to play the attacking cross or through ball, I’m not going to blame him for lesser games. Our wide players don’t share the weight enough. Rashford is a cycle player, he has always been like that, good periodes followed by lesser periodes.

That is just the attack though, we also struggle in midfield, it is not fast enough, not precise enough.

Still not worried with 3 home games upcoming though.

 

[Solius]

I genuinely think that was our worst performance of the season. Not in terms of scoreline but literally everything else. You’d think some of the passes would be good just based on the law of averages but it was just pure non-league level shit.

The home crowd were fecking silent. They had no interest in even creating an atmosphere and yet we still played so slowly and meek. Then de Gea produces an absolute shocker and we look completely out of ideas as if 1 - 0 is just too big a mountain to climb.

As the game wore on we basically turned into a childish kid who just dives in and spams the slide tackle button because they’re pissed off. Finally raised the tempo to lukewarm in the 90th minute. Even the players that came on instantly fecked up. It’s like a brain rot infecting the whole squad.

First week of rest since October coming up and they better make the most of it. Should still be able to win our home games and be fine but another bad result and it will be very concerning.

 

[Rustyspider13]

Limped our way to a defeat. The same player costing us top 4 again. Casemiro too slow to everything, Eriksen couldn't ping a single great pass to offset his defensive weakness, attackers can't shoot away from the keeper. Horrible performance but I blame DDG for it all. You can't give a team that wants to defend the incentive to defend. You just can't.

We've got 3 home games. One of those against Chelsea. We need to win all 3. I don't know if we can. I feel hopeless.

 

[DickDastardly]

Two good losses. They will do us good in the long term.

Imagine if both last games were 0-0, we would only be 2 points more.
Insignificant.

What we need is 3 victories.

What the players need is a proper kicking in the head.

Hope Erik gives it to them.

 

[Zoo]

The body language is terrible isn’t it? Ten Hag needs to do some serious work.

 

[Harshal Tiwari]

After Liverpool's game this one probably is the worst game we played this season.

 

[moses]

These players are all jokers. Gutless. Can't finish to save their life then one goal and play like scared little puppies the next 70 plus minutes before showing any life

Did you think them all gutless all season or are you just having a tantrum?

 

[Abhinav]

Nothing new to see. We will we always be a bunch of cowards. When the going gets tough, our players whimper away. We can change as many managers as we want, there is a clear mentality deficit at the club.
DDG, Martial, Fred, Maguire, Sancho all plus a bunch of more need to go.
To be honest, even the new buys have not been all great. Huge question marks on Antony and Malacia. Eriksen needs to be a rotation option.
EtH needs to stop with the Weghorst experiment or he can also go.

 

[Chairman Steve]

Ugh past few games have been flat out awful and not a great watch. I’m just camping the takeover thread because any significant news on that overrides whatever the feck happens between now and the end of the season. That’s all that matters in my opinion. I hope to hell that is sorted soon.

DDG needs replacing and we need a striker. Fecking everyone knows that. Rashford has reverted back to his last season form strangely and everyone looked like they didn’t want to be there.

We actually have a midweek off in god knows how long. I think the Queen’s body was still a little bit warm when that happened, so if they can’t get up for the next game with that additional rest and somehow not win then I’m giving up watching them for the reminder of the season.

 

[Hugh Jass]

De Gea is finished hopefully. He always has these brainfarts in him. Has to be the first one shown the door in the summer.

 

[Plant0x84]

What a shitty way to lose a game of football. Worse than the Brighton pen. Gutted.

 

[Todd]

It's not even surprising at this point. We're ending the season the way we started it. Not with a bang but a whimper.

 

[Rightnr]

Luke Shaw is the only defender I'd keep. In midfield, Casemiro as a sub. In attack, Rashford for the bench as well.

This is the long term but it's unacceptable to be playing like this.

 

[Get In Scholesy]

Pathetic team and mentality.

Under Fergie, no players place was safe. These showers of shit perform like ass and will still have their place in the team the next week.

If i’m ETH I wouldn’t start 6-7 of those who started today next week.

 

[red woppit]

The last 10 minutes we showed aggression, running off the ball, good early passes into space allowing players time on the ball, had four good efforts on goal. Why don't we play with this intensity all game instead of slow laborious build up resulting in our attackers being faced by two or three defenders.

 

[Wilt]

Great w/e for Scouse ffs

 

[moses]

Ooh look top red. This team is rubbish and it needs calling out.

Nah, just not a toddler.

 

[Wayne's World]

They can all feck off for all I care. A bunch of cowards, pathetic bunch

 

[TheRedHearted]

Absolutely fecking fuming. The goal, Benrama being a total cnut and trolling Rashford by doing his celebration (shows the heart of a absolute bottom feeder and a bottom trash club). Bissaka being smashed in the head and no penalty, what the feck?

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Is Moyes a better manager than ETH?

Or does West Ham have better players than us?

What is going on here?

No and no. What they had was fight and didn't want to lose. Once we gifted them a goal it was always an uphill task.

 

[Heinzesight]

The last 10 minutes we showed aggression, running off the ball, good early passes into space allowing players time on the ball, had four good efforts on goal. Why don't we play with this intensity all game instead of slow laborious build up resulting in our attackers being faced by two or three defenders.

Drives me fecking mad shit like that. Our best move came in the 90th minute.

 

[Gavinb33]

We can't move the ball fast enough through the 3rds and when West Ham were set we couldn't do anything to break them down

 

[Mike Smalling]

I'm tired Robbie.

 

[NewGlory]

We're really not a top 4 team after Lisandro's injury

Lisandro and Varane are both being missed. I don't think defense is letting us down, however. Luke and Lindelof deserve huge credit. It's mostly that our midfield and attack have been horrible. Eriksen, Sabitzer (in all games but Sevilla), and Fred are playing garbage. Antony has no teeth, Rashford exhausted. Wghorst an empty space, Martial mostly nothing.

 

[NK86]

What a shitty way to lose a game of football. Worse than the Brighton pen. Gutted.

We could play till next weekend and we still won't score. This team does not have patterns of play to open up tight defenses and It's clear as day we are still just a counter attacking side. Not sure if it's just the players or the coaching (feel it's more a coaching thing especially when smaller teams play better football than us).

 

[hatchetmac]

We are finishing like we did last season under Rangnick absolutely shocking. Big changes need to happen next season.

 

[Heinzesight]

Absolutely fecking fuming. The goal, Benrama being a total cnut and trolling Rashford by doing his celebration (shows the heart of a absolute bottom feeder and a bottom trash club). Bissaka being smashed in the head and no penalty, what the feck?

What actually happened with that, was he punched in the head by the keeper?

 

[Stretfordender]

Don’t anyone try and flower that performance up it was fecking shocking from start to finish. We could’ve been there until the middle of next week and we wouldn’t score. Make no mistake maguire being in team makes us nervous but not half as much as De Gea does. Basics can’t even do them right.

 

[Member 58925]

Did you think them all gutless all season or are you just having a tantrum?

We could have played two matches midweek and some posters still wouldn’t understand why the players are fatigued

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Starting Weghorst and De Gea howler = shit.
Only had a bit of urgency in the last 20 minutes.

I mentioned elsewhere that it is such a pity Tom Heaton got injured as I would have trusted him to go in goal.

 

[moses]

They’ve shown to be bottle jobs countless times over the years, hardly a big shout.

No, it's not big shout. It's a petty whiny one.

 

[Plant0x84]

We coule play till next weekend and we still won't score.

No arguement here

 

[GledTheRed]

DDG cost us us that. West Ham were rubbish and not threatening until DDG gave the goal. This made them fight for the win and the crowd then woke up.

He needs to go. whats the point in him saving world class efforts that no goalkeeper is expected to save when he lets in mistakes that every keeper saves bread and butter.

Absolutely, they were shit and the crowd flat until that money, I'm sick to death of DDG and his clangers, he's got zero bottle.

 

[C'est Moi Cantona]

The body language is terrible isn’t it? Ten Hag needs to do some serious work.

Said the same thing, we looked like we just turned up to get beaten.

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

No, it's not big shout. It's a petty whiny one.

Your words not mine.

 

[zaafi]

So what exactly has improved? We don't play better football and we've scored 49 goals in 34 games.

The players play with no intensity or motivation. They have zero chemistry with each other and there is absolutely no movement at all. Need new players in every single position except Shaw, Bruno, Martinez and Varane.
