West Ham Match Thread - Fa Cup

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

We look like we've just ran a marathon.

I hate this thing where we slow play down as we hit their area & turn the play around. Try to play through them FFS.

At least hit the ball into the area, make some runs into the box.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Is it just me or is Allen running around doing nothing

He's had a few Tidy touches but the other two midfielders have been more involved

 

[Judge Jules]

Nice to see one of our players (even a loanee) flatten an opponent at a corner, rather than the other way round.

 

[Modo]

Why is that a freekick

 

[Modo]

He's had a few Tidy touches but the other two midfielders have been more involved

Yeah

 

[Mystic]

Why was that a foul? If he wants to dive at shin height, surely he has to run the risk?

Another set piece where the ball has went in the general direction of a Liverpool player. Brannagan is spoiling us today.

 

[ILD]

Liked that incisive pass from Allen a while back to put us on the attack.

 

[cloggypop]

Imagine getting knocked out by Joe Allen.

 

[FoxForceFive]

That's an ouchey.

 

[Modo]

Exactly

Klopp was telling the fourth official that just now.

See that more & more now, pisses me off.

Players sticking their heads a foot over the ground & getting a free kick when the other player tries to play it with their foot too.

I think I'll use this break in play to tell ye about a great Lasagne I cooked earlier.

 

[ILD]

Never mind, game back on.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Never mind, game back on.

Boooo!

*looks forward to half time lasagne tales*

Bilic is like that uncle who used to be cool but now is just a drunk divorcee who goes "on holiday" to Bangkok three times a year.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Get in the fucking box lads!

 

[FoxForceFive]

We need to be getting men in the box when we have the ball there. That way we can cross it in & at least give them something to think about.

 

[Judge Jules]

Get in the fucking box lads!

...is what gene's uncle can often be heard yelling on holiday.

 

[doctor_mac]

Calling in from Pizza Hut....we want one! (To us!)

 

[gene hughes]

The only lasagna we should be considering is Italian tyro Kevin.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Terrific shot from Brannigan

 

[ILD]

Bilic is like that uncle who used to be cool but now is just a drunk divorcee who goes "on holiday" to Bangkok three times a year.

...and has no idea the hat he's randomly wearing is even a West Ham one. He just found it and threw it on.

 

[ILD]

Some effort from Brannagan. Would have been a left footed belter.

 

[Hansern]

Strange innit that once you've got a player that can take a set piece we look dangerous immidietaly.
Shame that cunt Atkinson is doing his best to ruin this game.

Brannagan has been excellent. Stewart surprisingly good

 

[ILD]

I'm liking Stewart's tenacity.

 

[Judge Jules]

Kouyaté off as well. Can't handle our kids. 😎

 

[FoxForceFive]

I'm liking Stewart's tenacity.

He's more aggressive than any of the first team midfielders. Despite me liking Hendo that's not his game, & no one else steps up that way either.
