It doesn't really matter what he said. Would've should've could've changes nothing unfortunately
reubengane5194d ago
Blimey, Forest three goals up at Chelsea and Spurs have to play the Blues, it looks like another victory on the way for the Hotspur's!
jonathan.gorrie194d ago
That Forest result really does leave it down to us and Spurs
moharris1958194d ago
All day long a pen
In my predictions a draw was the best outcome.So looking at it positively,we only dropped a point.Luck does seem against us though(3 that hit the posts,Dinos 'face offside, non penalty when two players were wrestled to the ground and Scarles'card). More.
freddie195d ago
Yh it's deffo not the end of the world and Arsenal up next is gonna be a big challenge, but you never know with West Ham!
crookedmouse7194d ago
Unfortunately the only chance was if west ham won all games. Out of your hands now and out of the premiership. Like Arsenal, who need a miracle to be top. If they beat arsenal they would have a slight chance to stay up.
up the villa at least they are in claret and blue and not black and yellow
moharris1958193d ago
I hope you get smashed on Thursday for what your manager did
chrismax1953195d ago
I think if you support Villa you should stay off a West Ham site!!
ray.baxterct1951195d ago
I've never been keen on clubs around Birmingham either,I'm praying that the Villains don't play their reserves tonight to muck up a level fight.Jammy Spurs again?The Wolves goal was offside.
swhitecrossuk8195d ago
no a villa fan iron through and through, just saying we need villa to do us a favour
Nuno still feels positive about West Ham's chances - but do YOU?
3ghighburyforever193d ago
West ham will be ok.... do not be surprised if brentford are beating man city arsenal let west ham nick a 1-0 to send the spuds down lol
kwaylen193d ago
That’s priceless Simon Jordan coming out and saying that Aston Villa were cheats when his old team palace did exactly the same in their game!
razorwestham193d ago
Two things sack nuno get contract for paco jemez to take over and drop the worst keeper thanks to idiot potter in our history since roberto the disastrous hermanson. Spills balls cant jump short arms no legs ffs Get areola in espescially against arsenal ffs wake up nuno your tactics dont work .
ray.baxterct1951193d ago
You are right about Hermansen,he cracked at Brentford.I tensed up every time he was involved.He was totally out of order leaving his goal, he got lucky, he cannot find anyone with his goal kicks and often kicks into touch.
Where do you sit right now on Malick Diouf's performances?
Saka and Arsenal are coming up next... 😓
razorwestham189d ago
Put todibo in drop the nightmare hermanson and areola in. Diouf plays mid attacking . Pablo drop and wilson comes in. Drop soucek to bench and kante comes in . Let paco take the team and sack nuno.
freddie188d ago
Mads is better than Areola IF he's not having a stinker. Wilson hasn't got the minutes in him and is so good as an impact sub, and Soucek can be an aerial threat! Trust in Nuno
ray.baxterct1951194d ago
Not so hot since his return from heroics in the African Cup
jonathan.gorrie196d ago
Eesh, not a great choice. Diouf was way off it today
daniel.owen196d ago
It's a real catch 22 with him. He can produce brilliance going forward but really must learn to switch on defensively. Saka tore him apart in October, though Diouf marshalled him brilliantly when Senegal beat England last summer. 1-1 then I suppose
Just as something to think about; Craig poulson has awarded 12 pens against west and 0 against Tottenham.
daniel.owen196d ago
I know the Brentford player slipped, but I don't see how it being accidental means it's not a penalty on Pablo. Surely every foul in the box is accidental?
Was always going to be a tuff game. Bees unlucky not to win at old Trafford. Was a lot closer a game then 3-0 scoreline. Penalty was the change poor challenge. Should have had one ourselves. Next two games massive need something. Spuds need to win at villa defeat and back to how it was. They have a tuff 4 games. Not sure Pablo is up to the fight we are in. P
daniel.owen196d ago
Yeah, we hit the post twice and the crossbar once! Fine margins I suppose. The disappointment was that so few players performed to the standards they've set recently
alantelfer56196d ago
If one of the chances had of gone in who knows. Thought tatty looked sharp today. Pablo is a no for me to slow poor control of ball gives away possion far to much. We need pase and power going forward. Would like to see bowen up front with tatty. Traore out wide. Pace on both flanks good delivery. Then wilson to come with good amount of time. Or start wilson
On a scale of 1-10, how confident are you about staying up now? 👀
rogcligg193d ago
No chance
reubengane5194d ago
With a rampant Arsenal coming up our chances of staying up as low but what a disgraceful thing Villa did surrendering to Tottenham by dropping 7 regular players saving for a European game against Nottingham Forest, they'll be an extra 60,000 fans rooting for Forest on Thursday.
jonathan.gorrie194d ago
Haha, yeah! Feels like everyone is really annoyed at Villa 😂
dodkins2000194d ago
About 5 i think 3 more points will be enough
What ADVICE do you have for Nuno after that Brentford battering? 🤬
anthosladomatos195d ago
Grow some balls for the first time in your life for these last 3 games.
lloydalexis6195d ago
Maybe make some changes
anthosladomatos195d ago
Grow some balls Nuno, too negative in set ups + substitutions
moharris1958193d ago
Paco needs to sort this out before its too late. We need to go out guns a blazing on Sun. We need to attack not try to defend all of the time. Its proven not to work. Its cost us 20 points in fact
What did YOU make of the refereeing controversy at Brentford?
No pen on Soucek? Really?
anthosladomatos195d ago
Refs are bent, some of this lot should be investigated, not just Paqueta! The fact that VAR is there and they still can't make proper decisions is purely criminal.
bw490410195d ago
It's just another bad decision againest us by the officals, we have had so many go againest us lost count of how many we haven't received in our favour 😡🤬
ray.baxterct1951195d ago
I'm a conspiracy theorist more and more
jonathan.gorrie195d ago
It did feel like everything was against us yesterday, didn't it? Hope for some luck against Arsenal 😂
tetelestai280195d ago
A joke.
Who was West Ham's WORST player vs Brentford and why?! 👀
anthosladomatos195d ago
Pablo, can't kick, can't shoot, can't control....20mill...you're having a giraffe!
bw490410195d ago
Pablo
philbrown55195d ago
Pablo is a trier, but he's just not Premeir League standard. Needs dropping, or we are dropping.
jonathan.gorrie195d ago
I've been a big believe in what Pablo offers off the ball but, yeah, Saturday was mud in my eye! Not delighted about Wilson starting though at this stage in his career
OUCH! What are your INSTANT reactions to that? 😡
ray.baxterct1951195d ago
You can't hit the post 3 times and a face and shoulder offside decision and expect to get more chances.
dantowen81951196d ago
Really poor, this. First half wasn’t bad but it felt like there was a real gulf in quality between the two sides. Pablo abysmal and Diouf with some really costly errors
dodkins2000196d ago
Gutted come on Vills
Give us your IMMEDIATE reaction to West Ham's XI... ⚒️ 🆚 🐝
Pablo ahead of Wilson again. And no Freddie Potts...
chillout196d ago
Clearly it wasn’t good enough.
jakewhu196d ago
Good team. Will be a tough game though!
chillout196d ago
It wasn’t tough game - it was a slaughter. Advantage Spurs.
jonathan.gorrie196d ago
What's your early prediction? I've been thinking a draw all day but now I fancy a 1-0 away win. Aware this could age like milk though!
jonathan.gorrie196d ago
I like it. Fancy another late Wilson goal here!
chillout196d ago
This has not aged well.
Spot anything interesting in West Ham's pre-Brentford training session? ⚒️ 🆚 🐝
Pablo scores a lovely goal 4 minutes in...
daniel.owen197d ago
I'd like to see Pablo get himself in goalscoring positions more often. He did score 10 goals in 12 starts for Gil Vicente before joining us, so there's a finisher in there somewhere
reubengane5197d ago
Pablo and Taty work hard but the partnership isn't producing the goals that we need and the opposing defenders are of top quality.
jonathan.gorrie197d ago
Yeah, I can't remember that many actual missed chances?! It seems he's rarely even close to scoring right now
How would you explain West Ham's IMPROVED set-piece record?
Nuno was 'really concerned' at one point...
freddie196d ago
Mavro and Disasi are just monsters that's why!
dantowen81951196d ago
I’m so glad Mavro is performing now! I’ve always thought he had so many qualities you’d want in a centre-half
dean-murphy197d ago
No Kilman
reubengane5198d ago
The central defenders have tightened up considerably, well done lads.
jamesshearman23198d ago
100%. Mavro and Disasi have stepped up and taken command of both boxes from set pieces
jonathan.gorrie198d ago
They look like man mountains now! Can't believe the turnaround
How much do West Ham need a new STRIKER?
freddie196d ago
I don't think massively but an out and out goalscorer like Igor Thiago would be unreal!
dean-murphy197d ago
No need talking about transfers. We need to see what league we’re in first
stevenrcollins1197d ago
As much as i hate to say it we will struggle to get a much needed top striker to come to our beloved west ham especially given how reluctant sullivan is to dig into his pocket
chillout197d ago
What changes are you making to this team? Just don't think Wilson should start 😬
dean-murphy197d ago
Last chance saloon for Pablo. He’s not chasing or closing down as much as he was either
reubengane5197d ago
One last chance for the Pablo/Taty combo tomorrow, let's hope that it's not too late.
stevenrcollins1197d ago
As much as i love pablos work rate i think id swap him for wilson as a starter up front because we are still lacking in the strikers department
dantowen81951196d ago
I wonder what it would look like if we gave Bowen a free role behind the striker and put Traore on the right
Where will West Ham v Brentford be WON and LOST?
Some key battles all over the pitch... ⚒️ 🆚 🐝
dean-murphy197d ago
Summerville is not as potent since he came back from injury. He opens up teams and he’s not doing it. Pablo for the last 3 games has been a passenger
chillout197d ago
On the pitch.
reubengane5198d ago
I think that Fernandes is good enough to control the midfield and the experience of Souchek is invaluable but our central defenders will have to be top notch against Brentford's giant strikers and maybe it will finish all square.
daniel.owen198d ago
At least we have Disasi and Mavro now! It was Kilman and Todibo when we played them last time
jonathan.gorrie198d ago
All the stats suggest a draw is likely and I'm not sure how I feel about that 😂
Tell us your Brentford demands and score predictions!
dean-murphy197d ago
3-1 Brentford
daniel.owen200d ago
Feels like another must-win. Beat Brentford and Villa lose to Tottenham, and we are almost there
If you could STEAL one Brentford player, who are you having?
We have an idea who you might pick... ⚒️ 🆚 🐝
dean-murphy197d ago
Thiago followed by Damsgaard
katieclark74198d ago
Thiago.
daniel.owen198d ago
I reckon someone will come in with a massive bid for him this summer. I wonder if he'll be another Wilfried Bony or whether he'll explode like, say, Sadio Mane at Liverpool after leaving Southampton
bw490410199d ago
Igor Thiago
callum_boyle193d ago
No chance to Parker. It’ll just be back to square one 18 months later watching him get sacked
daniel.owen193d ago
Yeah that's my concern with Parker, too. His Prem record is abysmal
