West Ham stunned at home! Who was to blame here and why?

finbar12121mo ago

Nuno out hes got idea what's he doing get Eddie howe in b4 its to late !! Coyi

peter.tester1mo ago

Definitely kilman and scares are clearly not good enough an need replacement, definitely need another strong midfielder, don't know why we let Potts go as he would be ideal for us in this league, Taty was nowhere near good enough today. First half to slow and to much side passing, no direct force into the box. Only last 20 minutes did we begin to look danger

bilichammer1231mo ago

Would start to help playing a keeper that has arms and height not one that is supposed to be good at throwing out the ball . Both goals would have been like many let in by short arms Herman been saved by areola. And we need to sell Herman and

ray.baxterct19511mo ago

I agree Hermanson is not the keeper we need, he makes easy saves look hard and he tries to tackle opponents out of his goal in hope, instead of staying on his line. His distribution is not great and still misses opportunities by lateness releasing the ball

ray.baxterct19511mo ago

Listen to the Fans, 50,000+ can't be wrong!

ray.baxterct19511mo ago

I don't think Scott Parker is the answer personally, he's a nice bloke but I don't think he's got what it is needed for West Ham to progress.

ray.baxterct19511mo ago

Taty plays for himself in the box, not the team. I know it was not just his fault we were poor but his attitude is worrying. The players lacked unity, instructions, or poor because they were out of their usual positions?

ray.baxterct19511mo ago

Good strikers need good, unselfish players to assist. Taty is not an unselfish player. He should play to assist Pirou, not shoot from impossible positions. Pirou at Leeds had fast, first ball players to provide the passes to create the goals. Soloman was instrumental in some of Pirou's goals, Pirou is a No9 use him as such! Taty is not, he needs to realise.

jayjwatson1mo ago

The lot of em - but mostly the board esp the little wrongun imp for ruining a team that were competing in Europe and even for 4th within the last 5 years, the manager for his tactics and defensive nature when ahead, the mercenary players like Todibo, AWB and Fullkrug who have taken good wages whilst giving back nothing and refusing to play or show any effort

bsmatthews281mo ago

There are so many things wrong with this team Mavropanos is not half the player he was last season when he partnered Disasi, Walker-Peters is having a mare and seems sluggish. and Scarles flatteres to decieve and I am not sure Kilman is even good enough for this Division anymore. Our lack of any midfield player of quality is real concerning.

dantowen819511mo ago

Yeah with you on Mavropanos. No chance he makes that error with Disasi there. His confidence is brittle at the best of times, god knows how he rebounds from that

grahamwatts1mo ago

A lot of nonsense about Nuno. This is the same guy who got Wolves up from Championship and then into Europe playing exciting attacking football. The did sterling job at Forest getting them into Europe with exciting counter attacking style. The difference with us is not having good enough players in key positions. If you choose Parker he is a defensive coach

dantowen819511mo ago

I still like the idea of Craig Bellamy if he can be lured away from Wales

rendall19661mo ago

Why do we seem to do this to our selves.,over and over and never learn

carter.luke1mo ago

Nuno. Must go. He has no flare. West ham clearly in a lot of trouble yesterday. You look at nuno on the touch line. Just standing there not a clue what to do. We need a manager who is loud attack minded. We need to score many more goals especially in this league. Players need to press and press the opposition. Stop them playing football

dantowen819511mo ago

Nuno just doesn’t inspire me, he’s hardly the type you’d run through brick walls for is he?

cumberworth571mo ago

Nuno is a negative manager but only having 2 in CM and both more attack minded doesn’t work, clearly. Alverez should not be sold as he is ideal as CDM but it looks like the fire sale goes on without the replacements

cumberworth571mo ago

If we don’t bring at least 3 quality players in, in key positions, I think we can forget about promotion and probably the play-offs as well. Nuno’s style of play and team selections/substitutions doesn’t work with these players. I thought we would have learnt that from last season when he screwed it up.

irons19781mo ago

I think the whole team need to take a look at them self's totally embarrassing 5 points dropped already we are not gonna get promoted if we play like this every game

jordan.harris1mo ago

I may have been wrong about keeping faith in Nuno. A slow start is one thing but this!

ray.baxterct19511mo ago

Nuno has lost his grin and didn't admit anything at his post-match press conference. It won't be long.

ray.baxterct19511mo ago

It was not much of a surprise to me to lose, but what was a shock was the way Charlton were allowed to get in our faces. We let them mark us out, half the team were lethargic and looked frightened at the back. When the rare crosses went in, the goalie was under the ball or there was no strike danger around to meet it.Above all we were too slow AGAIN.

dantowen819511mo ago

Played perfectly into Charlton’s hands, I thought

laurajr19581mo ago

I can't believe what I saw today. The first half was abysmal. Lack of confidence and sloppy passing. And Taty's penalty was disgraceful. How come Bowen didn't take it? What is Nuno doing to our team and how long are they going to give him to get it right.

dantowen819511mo ago

They reminded me a lot of the Man United vs Hull game earlier on in the day. Confidence just drained from them as soon as that opening goal went in

trevorbisdee1mo ago

Don’t understand why we didn’t start with the settled team, then introduce the new players, rather than play them from the start. So many missed placed passes, they don’t know each other. Nuno is clueless

dantowen819511mo ago

He spent all week talking about how he wanted to turn us into a possession team, then we lose 2-1 with nearly 80% of the ball

nickdomjan1mo ago

There is something to be said about keeping on doing the same thing and expecting the result to be different

chillout1mo ago

That’s said to be Einstein’s definition of insanity - but it’s actually from AA.

alan.mayo511mo ago

Is that something called madness?

paul.sanders19551mo ago

Nunos post match wisdom "The players must tighten things up in both penalty areas" OMG 🤪

dantowen819511mo ago

Hahah I know, most of my issues today were between the boxes 😂

paul.sanders19551mo ago

Abysmal, and we will get the usual post match drivel "we must learn from this ", we should be lining up Eddie Howe now for when the inevitable happens.

chillout1mo ago

I forgot about Howe - not a bad call.

alan.mayo511mo ago

Nuno doesn't inspire and is tactically inept. I would prefer any of Craig Bellamy, Scott Parker or Gary O'Neil. Bowen is supposed to be a leader but bottled taking the penalty. I honestly think we are more likely to do a Leicester than get promoted but most likely is lower half of the table.

chillout1mo ago

The board need to act NOW. Parker will get us up.

mngj891mo ago

I agree about Bowen everyone so happy he stayed but last six months not a patch on his ability. Wish he can get his mojo back he's so loyal but not captain strength

mngj891mo ago

Nuno was terrible until Paco Jemez arrived, only then did West Ham improve. Now he's gone weve gone back to old Nuno who Im sorry to say isn't good enough. Club need to act fast and change before too late.

nickdomjan1mo ago

I'm not sure that Scott Parker is the right replacement for the long term but he does know how to get his defences working. Agreed on Paco, I doubt if he would come to us out of respect for Nuno, although there's no harm in asking

dancoombs1mo ago

Definitely worry now. Draw v Burnley was unfortunate but could be viewed as decent point. This result is concerning

dantowen819511mo ago

The performance was even worse 🙄no creativity at all. Was actually very reminiscent of Man United vs Hull earlier in the day

jonathan.gorrie1mo ago

Why didn't Bowen take the pen?!

dantowen819511mo ago

Not a clue. Surely had to take responsibility there

dantowen819511mo ago

Thought that was awful. As bad as I’ve seen under Nuno How much time does he have now, realistically? Could be very embarrassing for the board if they have to sack him so soon after saying he’d stay for the whole season…
