West Ham v Hull - Official Match Thread

What do you fucking mean with 'Alan's a bit common ?'

Only when it's spelt with an 'A' mate.

Avit should've gone continental with "Alain".
Crush velvet blazer and plastic fag-holder

He is more of a Tarquin than an Alan

Nice review as always lads!As caroll was playing right back 2nd half,I have to agree with Avit
But kouataye did work his Bollocks off as well

These performances at home have been nothing but bloody awful in the PL.

We have been lucky in EVERY game we have won this season at home.Something has to change.The new Stadium,yes it has not helped.But we all have to play on it,so why do our opponents always out play us?

Serious questions have to be asked here?

One thing I would do is to train on the pitch regularly.But there is plenty not right.

If Hull would have knocked 4 past us yesterday,we couldn`t have complained,could we?It`s quite a regular thing this season.

We have picked 7 out of 9 points,but we all know,all is not well..Needs sorting out big time.

Can't see what difference training at the ground would do, apparently the turf at the training ground is the same and the size is adaptable. Could be wrong though.

To get used to the surroundings.

Excellent blog and interesting insight to the corporate section. Game was crap . Robertson brilliant but can be suspect defensively which he didn't have to do Thanks again and Merry Christmas

True Mike and as you said, the only difference yesterday was that our mistakes and form didn't go punished as they were so ruthlessly at the start of the season.
For me, yesterday didn't just look like nervousness. There was an alarming lack of spirit and real fight especially in the first half.
We did perk up a little in the second but still could've easily shipped 3 goals.
The lads were saying on the video that, for a number of set pieces we had all 11 players back defending. Slav HAS to see this and get on top of it DURING the game. Not at half time or full time.

2 away games now is probably a good thing for us and I'm hoping we put in shifts like we did against Liverpool, Tottenham and Man U.
Next home game is Man U and I really hope that we do not see 1 up front again. If we do, then imo this will provide more ammunition to the argument that Slav is just not "getting it".

That said..... we've had a habit under Slav of "switching on" against the big clubs (Arsenal this season a major exception) so I still fancy us turning in a performance against the Mancs.

Greetings from the Czech Republic.. ⚒ Come on you IRONS!!

there is clearly a dressing room/confidence issue

slav needs to up the tempo, with himself and the squad

he needs to crack on or it really could be curtains, whatever is dragging the team down, stamp on it

whether payet or the bog-cleaner, you have to fuck off the negative aspects before they suck the life out of you and you out of a job
