West Ham vs Spurs | PL | 13.9.25 | Predictions and Match Thread

[stubbo-admin]

With the 'interesting' football hiatus that International Football brings, figured I'd get this match thread up.  The result against Forest makes this game in some ways less significant (as the clock will have been reset on Potter's tenure) but also more interesting as there is a modicum of form to take into the game.

Fullkrug should obviously never be allowed on international duty again, what with it being an injury magnet for him, but that aside, as of now there are no new injuries.  Rumours of a Summerville injury also appear unfounded.

So from a lineup perspective, I'm expecting something like:

Hermansen

Walker-Peters  Mavropanos   Kilman   Diouf

Ward-Prowse Magassa

 Bowen     Soucek   Fernandes

Paqueta

Subs: Areola, Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Igor, Rodriguez, Irving, Guilherme, Summerville, Willson

Left out: Earthy, Marshall, Potts, Scarles.
Prediction: 1-2 Spurs (Muani, Kudus;  Bowen for us)

[Central Park Man]

Got to be Magassa and Fernandes in the middle next time. First half was ok. Let down by fucking dreadful defending again and the sending off. The game went along with Soucek. 

It can’t JUST be Hermansen that’s rendered us completely unable to defend crosses and corners. It’s insane how poor we are at it all of a sudden. He’s dreadful at commanding the area but we’re just leaving people unmarked all over the place. It’s appalling. We need ag least two new defenders in January. Kilman and Mav are fucking shit just as is Todibo. We might end up starting that Brighton reserve at this rate. 

LOTS of work needs doing on set piece defending and defending the six yard box. It’s like as soon as one hole is halfway plugged another leak springs somewhere. 

Also yes it was poor not starting a striker. Wilson vs van der ven would be pitiful though. No marshall on the bench- disappointing. He got to stop being ‘clever’ and just play people in their best positions. 

Until the sending off, I thought we were the better team.

things are not that bad, sometimes a sending off can be the turning point and was a soft sending ff.

Also West Ham should have had a penalty.

[62Hammer]

Quite enjoyed the first half, seeing us move the ball much more quickly and getting forward. If we'd had a centre forward perhaps we would have had an end product to some decent approach play.
Right from the start of the second half, Tottenham are much better, we are much worse. So the two different half-time team talks would have been interesting to hear.
I stayed to the bitter end simply to see if anything interesting happened and was rewarded by seeing Irving come on in the 91st minute.

As threesixty said earlier, if you give any team 10 corners to defend eventually opposition will score.  We had defended ok for most of them but switched off for their first goal.  

[kinglewy]

Why can’t our managers pick a side with legs and strikers at home. I would sack Potter for that starting line up and not having a striker that can stretch teams if needed like Marshall,  Away teams must love our ground.

[Fauxstralian]

Utterly pitiful & humiliating
JWP, Soucek & no centre forward
Anything learned against Forest completely ignored

Sullivan & Brady going is the priority. Forced out by any means necessary 
Carry on like this with CockPissPotter then relegation is a probability rather than a possibility 
Cant defend a ball into the box to save our lives and once we concede we fall apart & concede again. No guts, no fight

Positives
Kudus didn’t score
Soucek can’t play next week
Sullivan is another day closer to death

[Vexed]

Altho there’s lots of things that are really really bad I think it’s worth mentioning that not having a proper number 9 has also proper stitched us up. Think it would have made a big difference in the first half but the tight little prick Sullivan thought he could get away without one. 

Wilson literary is our number 9 and has looked good this season, ok he is old, but he is a proper number 9. Fullkrug and Marshall were also on the bench.
Have to ask Potter why we play with no forward.

Wilson hasn't looked good, he's looked marginally better than the absolute shitshow that is Fullkrug. However, to have Diouf pinging in lovely crosses to no fucking striker at all is beyond incompetent from Potter. He's a cսnt and should be sacked tonight.

[BRANDED]

I was right behind the goal where they scored their three. I could see it coming. The power and the strength and the hight were going to get us at some point. 


This is modern football in the premier league.

[Mex Martillo]

Magassa looked a good addition, lots of fight and energy.
Please lets start Areola or probably Fabianski is the best option.
Why is JWP starting and playing most of the game? Does not do enough and too much side / back passing.
Why no forward.
Not defending corners is criminal, how do we get that bread and butter stuff all wrong.
Shit

[gooders]

No serious attempt to win that game at all. The arrogance to line up with a false nine like you're prime Man City was staggering. Inexplicable substitutions and no tactical changes at half-time when it was obvious we were going to concede from a set piece. Those beautiful shiny empty white seats with a quarter of the game to go broadcast around the world. Thanks for giving me another special day West Ham! 

[Percy Dalton]

Next week's protest has come just at the right time.
Silly me thought it might be a damp squid if we'd have turned up today

[ragingbull]

No way Jose, he wants a yes man.

[Ron Eff]

Beg borrow and whatever else . Put every penny you have on mourinho being the next manager. Dwarfs under the spotlight like never before. And who better to take the spotlight off him fill your boots.

 

 

Of the unemployed options, I’d love that. Mourinho would frighten the life out of Sullivan. It’ll be Nuno of course, the budget prick. 

He should actually just go and pay whatever it takes to get Iraola out of a team with a smaller ground than Southend United, but we know Barry Fry is more likely than that. 

[Mike Oxsaw]

Perhaps this is all down to Sullivan having his strop because buying West Ham didn't bring him the casino he so craved (/craves).

Who do you reckon would win a 'bore-off' between you and Graham fucking Potter?  Both a pair of no marks sweating drivel from every pore. 

You tell me. In fact, tell us all. Tell the whole world. Fill yer boots.

[Tomshardware]

Didn't get the subs. He took runners off for others . But left jwp out there surely you need more legs when you go down to 10'

 

 

His devotion to JWP is bizarre and will probably get him the sack.

I didn’t get it either. I think he maybe saw a real shit kicking incoming if he didn’t try and shore it up. JWP off in injury time was also strange and pointless, but apparently he’s first name on the team sheet under potter

Ha! "Get DOWN, Shep!"   

[Hermit Road]

Potter won't be gone for ages. 

And even if he is, these shitcunts will replace him with Ron Atkinson's rotting corpse. (Assuming he's dead)
