West Ham Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2024/25

cdgalwegian

1-1 at half-time, at Anfield. Who'da predicted that?
The Pool will turn the screw, and we could leak goals obviously, but the team is actually looking pretty good, defensively and in attack. Anderson on form, Ngakia promising.

Ludo

Yep...we will still lose this obviously but play like this every week and we will be fine. Flash in the pan though.

cdgalwegian

Confident display. What a goal!

Hammer Archer

Liverpool will score again. Of course they will.

At very least twice more.

Hammer Archer

Of all the players you would have suspected to be the one to fcuk things up, Fab is way down that list.

For the second time.

Justin Credible Darts

inevitable the hammers lose this now.

I tell thee, we are all masochists, there is no other explanation

Hammer Archer

FFS Antonio!!!!

Justin Credible Darts

I have turned it off, at the point of sick of torturing myself.

cdgalwegian

Great game for neutrals. My nerves are shred.

Hammer Archer

They're starting to throw themselves to the ground. They're bound to get one.

Hammer Archer

Haller loses the ball and just FCUKING STOPS!!
They've gotten so fcuking lucky today.

Shedite27

Much better display than recent. Definitely something to build on

cdgalwegian

Under par Liverpool, with what should be a normal Hammers display = fair scoreline.

Hammer Archer

Why the fcuk do we wait until we play the runaway leaders to actually put a performance in? If we don't get three points against Southampton on Saturday, then what was the point?

Soucek and Snodgrass adding to our injury list.

The real mccoy 91

While it stings because the 2nd goal was a freak mistake snodgrass has to do better for the 1st goal and haller not near strong enough for a so called big man for the 3rd. Take the positives from that game realistically anything we got there was a bonus but it's much easier to take when we have a go and put in a performance like we did. Very impressed by ngakia he needs to keep that spot now soucek very good rice getting forward more slight negatives with haller and anderson just looking disinterested without the ball and lack of effort. But all in all I'm happy with that showing

Ludo

Big game today. We simply MUST get 3 points. Anything less and it's game over.

Hope it’s 2 up top, Haller/Antonio, get after them

Haller and Bowen up top.


#WHUFC XI: McCarthy, Ward-Prowse, Stephens, Bednarek, Bertrand, Boufal, Smallbone, Hojbjerg, Armstrong, Long, Obafemi

#SaintsFC XI: Fabianski, Ngakia, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Rice, Noble, Bowen, Fornals, Haller, Antonio

No Ings for Southampton.

Played my son at FIFA earlier. He is a Southampton fan :mad:
Southampton beat us 4-1. Hat trick for Obafemi. Hope that's not a reflection of what's to come.
On the other hand....I'm ****e at FIFA anfd he plays all the time :-)

The White Feather

Yes, Brighton losing means we can get them back to within 1 point with a win

cdgalwegian

Haller up with Antonio. Goal fest!
Bowen starting instead of Anderson. Interesting; might be contributing to the Goal fest.:cool:

Hope you are right.
Nearly time to go find somewhere to watch it.

Justin Credible Darts

west ham 1-0 up.

part of me hates west ham leading to early as it means when they blow it later, it hurts more

Ludo

Obafemi...oh christ, it's coming true.

cdgalwegian

Haller be thy name!

Justin Credible Darts

and sure enough......

Ludo

That keeper could sign for us with mistakes like that.

Haller for another, to make it a proper goal fest please.

Hammer Archer

I know it benefits us if Chelsea beat Bournemouth but I can't help but take pleasure in seeing it gradually turn to sh!t for Lampard at Chelsea.

true, but dont mind them winning just this once

Ludo

Wouldn't mind Burnley scoring against Newcastle either.

Standing ovation for Bowen coming off.

As the commentator said...not something that has happened too often this season.

Also, that Haller is playing really well- with a second striker up with him to play off him. Something Pelligrini refused to do, despite that being Haller's mode at Eintracht.

Hammers 34% possession at home, yet win 3-1; grit, determination and cohesiveness finally on display.

was not a great performance, but at this stage points more important than performances

Shedite27

Didn't see the game, was Antonio up top or playing from the wing.

Great win, important with the run we've got coming up.

The White Feather

Antonio was up front. I saw one chance he ran onto and probably should have scored but it was saved and went for a corner.

It is a vital 3 points. Today was all about the result.

Just like now I want Watford to lose to Liverpool and I can't stand Liverpool!

Justin Credible Darts

watford 3-0 up on the scousers....ffs

indeed.


still, glad we wont have to listen to their irratating fans go on about "invincinbes"

pjmn

Watched our game today - could never say we were comfortable, but they played like a team and worked for each other - playing two up front is crucial... given the other results was important we got the three points...
