West Ham v Liverpool Match Thread

[DHSC]

Haha we cant clear the ball for nuts.

 

[DHSC]

Pissed off with Gerrard. He could see Downing running, made a half arsed attempt to chase and then gave up.

 

[Silver Sean]

It's almost if taking out Sturridge and Suarez from this team makes us average.

 

[Leo]

Good defending.
It's a miracle!

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

We're defending like a pub team.

 

[Best Believe It]

There's very little composure in this team

 

[Farkmaster]

So no good reasons is what you're telling me.

The corrupt do-nothing institutions that run the sport like lots and lots of grey areas that are easily resolvable so that massive betting syndicates can manipulate the game.

I know that sounds really out there, but I honestly have never come up with a more compelling reason why even the most basic changes are slow to be adopted.

 

[Leo]

Can someone find Borini please.
Haven't seen him in an hour.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Can't we just choose to waive the injury time?

 

[Delinquent]

Concussed Lovren appears to be better than the healthy one.

 

[Delinquent]

Apparently he's been making lots of good runs.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Concussed Lovren appears to be better than the healthy one.

So we just need to belt him with a pan before each game & stick a stupid black bandage on his bonce.

Easily done.

 

[DHSC]

Moreno is great.

 

[Farkmaster]

Balotelli's casual control there is a little piece of joy in this sad first half.

 

[cloggypop]

Concussed Lovren appears to be better than the healthy one.

It's the Terry Butcher effect.

 

[Whirly]

Concussed Lovren appears to be better than the healthy one.

Concussed Lovren went on a 30 yard sprint out of defense to try and win a ball, leaving all our other defenders horribly placed to defend a counter.

Ugh.

 

[Leo]

Mario doing a better job at Dm than Gerrard.
This ref is fucking shit.

 

[Gary25]

We're a shambles here. fucking hell.

 

[DHSC]

I thought it was a West Ham handball.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

How have we become such a shite team in such a short time ?

We looked totally unrecognisable from last season's team.

 

[EmreChan]

Every set piece against us gives me heart palpitations.

 

[Leo]

How have we become such a shite team in such a short time ?

We looked totally unrecognisable as compared to last season's team.

We lost the third best footballer in the world it was never going to be easy but this is awful.

 

[Fox]

We look so slow and lazy

 

[Red Bird]

How have we become such a shite team in such a short time ?

We looked totally unrecognisable as compared to last season's team.

We changed a lot of players, remember. But I agree, this is totally sh!t.

 

[Fabio]

It'd be nice if the midfield actually attempted to get the ball to the front 2

 

[Whirly]

Skrtel has completely failed to mark his man like 5 times already, or failed to hold the offside line.

Are him and Lovren actual defenders or strikers in disguise.

 

[Fabio]

Our midfield is non-existent

 

[Farkmaster]

How have we become such a shite team in such a short time ?

We looked totally unrecognisable as compared to last season's team.

Skrtl taking fucking pictures again.


In answer to your question.

1) Go from overperforming to underperforming as expectations increase, and things look awful.
2) Have a worse best team and no adaptation of how we are playing to new personnel.
3) Time makes old players worse.

 

[Silver Sean]

A serious case of believing our own press so far this season. Ronnie Moran would have sorted this shower out. You're only as good as your last game. And our last two games we've been absolute gash. And so far today the same.

 

[Whirly]

We are much closer to last year's side than people realized. Nothing has changed other than the striking position.
