← West Ham vs QPR/Championship game 9

West Ham are held to a VERY controversial draw against QPR 😡 Give us your reaction 👇

mitchfarrow574w ago

Utter crap first half. Pablo on, ffs

cumberworth574w ago

Probably the best I’ve seen from Pablo but only because he made a few tackles and ran around, still lost possession 3 or 4 times, he shouldn’t start ahead of Piroe though who’s a goalscorer! Soucek wasn’t ready but where’s Alverez or Magassa?

bw4904104w ago

Angry at such a poor showing by our players, not a fitting send off for Ludo. No passion just as they did for Billy Bonds 😡🤬😡

rong524w ago

We hear so much about how we must start games better yet it rarely happens- there must be a problem - do the players not understand the manager / coaches? Also every game when the starting eleven is announced you can almost predict that a fast start is unlikely. If we can see it why can’t Nuno?

pwithey14w ago

He can’t because he’s tactical inept, definitely not the manager we need. And I’m sorry to say, under him we will struggle to get automatic promotion.

michaelgjregan1mo ago

Nothing controversial as its 100% better without VAR. We got what we deserved as absolute garbage in the first half.

dantowen819514w ago

Agreed. The QPR goal gave us 70 minutes to respond and we only got going midway through the second half

reubengane51mo ago

Why wasn't Pablo picked, he would have done a better job than Taty and he's never been in a West Ham losing team?

pwithey14w ago

Neither of them are good enough to play for us, Taty is never a CF in a million years, not in English football anyway, just wants to stand around just waiting for the ball to his feet, and making token runs to close people down without actually wanting to get it. Admittedly he is a bit brighter playing deeper. But not much. And Pablos not got a clue.

nickdomjan1mo ago

We have the players, for me what was missing was a collective desire, and how many more times will we be critical of team selections before the blame game gathers pace

dantowen819511mo ago

The weird thing is, I think Nuno sees the problems. He spoke in his press conference about needing to start games quicker My concern is that he isn’t solving those problems

philharrison581mo ago

Not bothered about who did what, for me, Nuno has know idea how to set up or motivate to compete and win in a derby game! 12 derbys won 0 says it all. ⚒️

dantowen819511mo ago

I didn’t realise the derby record was that bad… again, it felt like the West Ham players were surprised by how much QPR wanted it!

wmw5twfhm51mo ago

I want to know why we consistently dig a hole for ourselves as we start games so slowly? Also why do we play so passively especially at home? When we should be on the front foot as our strengths are our attackers! Our midfield rarely plays a forward pass always sideways and backwards?

pwithey14w ago

All goes back to the coaching I’m afraid if the attacking positive attitude is not coached into them on the training ground then they will never replicate it on the pitch.

dantowen819511mo ago

I thought he got Soucek’s role wrong to be honest. Soucek has to be up top with the striker for me. He gives the ball away far too much in midfield - as he saw in the lead up to their penalty

wmw5twfhm51mo ago

Let’s get Eddie Howe in he would sort us out or otherwise Craig Bellamy ?

wmw5twfhm51mo ago

I’m very upset with Nuno he talks the talk but rarely delivers on his promises! We were very poor second best to all challenges and deserved to be behind on the balance of play! We missed kante as he is our only attacking midfield threat! He wasn’t even on the bench? We should be putting teams under the kosh at home but do the opposite! PASSIVE FOOTBALL?

dantowen819511mo ago

Kante was suspended unfortunately after his red card at Millwall But agree with Nuno over promising and under delivering. He spent all week talking about needing to start games better and then we put in a first half like that

grizzlyrayadams1mo ago

to we score we was poor than we could have won the game. I was surprised the ref did not give QPR a foul for the Bowen tackle before he scored, he gave them penalty for the same tackle after both tackles the ball was won first.

ray.baxterct19511mo ago

I hate the ridiculous international breaks BIG TIME.Especially the last one at the start of the new season.Three weeks off at the beginning of the season is lunacy, it makes no sense in the English game. I think other games will suffer the same quality this week. We were abysmal in truth,

dantowen819511mo ago

Yeah I’d be interested to see how the other Champ teams with a lot of internationals got on. No excusing that first half though. It’s becoming a theme

cumberworth571mo ago

Sloppy in possession, too passive and let QPR dictate the game at West Ham! Too many big name players think they just need to turn up to win, it’s a scrap in this league and you need to be at it from the start, we weren’t, is that Nuno’s fault? He prepares the team?

chillout1mo ago

Yep - I don’t think Nuno will get us out of this league. I’m not sure how long the top brass will give him - I know it’s likely to be costly to axe him, but it will cost Co a whole lot more missing out on promotion.❤️

dodkins20001mo ago

For most of the match we were crap Nuno has got to get them for 90 minutes or we havent got a snowballs in Hell of goin up

whitefordstw1mo ago

We seem to think as long as we play quite well for the last 20 minutes that should do it

chillout1mo ago

We will be out of the auto promotion slots this weekend. It takes some manager with a squad like this not to run away with the league - but we won’t with Nuno. We have dropped 11 points in 9 games; it’s just not good enough.

chillout1mo ago

Typical West Ham and Nuno. Forget the dodgy penalty - 2 points dropped (again). Any thoughts of West Ham walking this division are long over.

dantowen819511mo ago

Yeah the penalty is annoying but much more damning was the first half performance Especially as Nuno spoke so much pre-match about needing to come out of the blocks faster

jonathan.gorrie1mo ago

The QPR penalty was ridiculous but that just wasn't good enough. So frustrating after so long off.
